How many hats do you have?

27 replies

In my living room I have a Union beanie and a summer straw hat.

This made me wonder how many I have. I counted: a trilby, a fluffy bucket hat and a baseball cap.

I don’t wear hats.

No idea. Quite a few. I wear some of them.

ItIsSoVeryComplicated · 30/08/2024 22:27

I have a sun hat which I always wear when out.

In winter I have a black beannie, which would be called a "woolly bunnet" where I come from. I always wear it in winter.

Now you mention it, I should audit the hat and glove situation before winter arrives. Good point.

TickingAlongNicely · 30/08/2024 22:28

1 sunhat
3 Wooly hats

TheChosenTwo · 30/08/2024 22:28

2, one is a winter woolly one with a pompom on top, just to keep my ears warm otherwise I get horrible earache 😭
the other one is my swimming hat!

Chatterboxy · 30/08/2024 22:29

None, unless you count the one on my Puffa coat!

  1. Calm, loving, nurturing mother hat
  2. Frazzled, " one moan away from walking out" mum hat
  3. Competent, achieving, professional hat
  4. Hat with "chronic imposter syndrome" stamped on the front
  5. Hat that wants single me to get a partner
  6. Hat that only socialises out of the house once in a blue moon
  7. Hat that inspires me to clean and aim for a zen, spa-like home
  8. The hat that says Fuck It and leaves the ketchup splodge on the wall until tomorrow (ish)

Most hats are worn at various points every day 😁

EwwSprouts · 30/08/2024 22:30

2 straw sun hats, 2 winter hats, 1 corduroy cap and 1 I'm not sure how to describe!

MrsPostmanPat · 30/08/2024 22:35

Several caps for running, at least 3 winter/woolly hats, a baker boy hat which I don't think I've ever worn, and a cute tinker bell baseball cap from eurodisney.

Linnet · 30/08/2024 22:36

I have a straw sun hat that I wear when sitting out in the garden in summer, 2 woolly hats with Pom Poms on top, 2 beanie style woolly hats that I don’t wear anymore and two baseball hats.

braaaiiins · 30/08/2024 22:43

They're my favourite thing to knit and crochet. Everyone in my house has loads. I probably have 20 and my kids half that

NothingAGoodCuppaDoesntFix · 30/08/2024 22:46

None. I feel claustrophobic with anything on my head even a coat hood ,cant cope with thjngs round my neck either

catwithflowers · 30/08/2024 22:57

Gosh, probably around a dozen. Maybe more. I love hats! I have three posh hats, complete with hat boxes which I have worn for weddings, quite a few wooden bobble hats, a couple of straw sun hats and quite a few caps which I wear for gardening. 🎩 🧢 👒

Topseyt123 · 30/08/2024 22:57

All mine are sun hats.

A couple are wide brimmed straw hats, and four or five are baseball caps.

I think I have one formal posh hat that my mother bought me to wear to my sister's wedding, because "It's the done thing. You can't go to a wedding with no hat!!" I think I wore it for all of about an hour and since then (more than 20 years ago) it has lived in the back of my wardrobe. I don't really do formal, not in the hat department.

catwithflowers · 30/08/2024 23:00

*woollen not wooden, which would be interesting but rather uncomfortable 🤣

notacooldad · 30/08/2024 23:00

I have loads of bobble hat and beanies.
I have a north face base ball cap and a north face ' Tilley ' style hat
I have a Tilley as well.

DramaAlpaca · 30/08/2024 23:12

I love your post, @Happycow

I have a few straw sunhats, a bucket hat which I regret buying, a fake fur one, and a couple of posh hats bought for weddings.

I only ever wear one of them, a straw hat affectionately known as Squashy Hat, on holiday.

TravellingSpoon · 30/08/2024 23:20

An orange beanie that I love and a summer straw hat.

I have a swimming cap if that counts?

Gawjus · 30/08/2024 23:29

I own eight hats. I wear all of them but I have four favorites which I wear more frequently than the other four. I'm very rarely go out without a hat. If it's sunny I wear a white straw boater and when it's cold I have a warm winter hat.

TheVeryAngryCaterpillar · 30/08/2024 23:36

Ooh shit tons.
2 x beret (1 raspberry)
1 x bucket
2 x straw
2 x cap
1 x fancy wedding
1 x fascinator
1 bobble
1 Peruvian wooly
1 beanie
1 fedora
1 fake fur Russian Mob boss wife type affair
1 leopard print sun visor, does that count?
I think I need more though...

Weirdly both my mum and my husband have an irrational hatred of wearing hats.

PoodlesRUs · 30/08/2024 23:43

Over a dozen. Hardly ever wear them because I feel like a fanny in a hat even though I love them.

spikeandbuffy24 · 30/08/2024 23:44

None. I don't like wearing them and I look ridiculous in them!

You know people are "everyone looks fine in a baseball cap!"
Then I put one on and they go "oh. Um. No"

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 30/08/2024 23:56

I always carry a grey cashmere beanie in my bag - I can stick it on if it starts raining. The only other hat I tend to wear is a fisherman’s bucket hat I bought in a bait shop on a Scottish island for £5 about ten years ago, which has been a very useful purchase. We don’t have a dog but I walk our neighbour’s often and keep that hat in my pocket every time.

There are a couple of faux fur hats (one a trapper style thing with ear flaps) that come out in the absolute depths of winter but I would have to hunt them down in a bag of stuff in the hall cupboard.

Thedishonthecoffeetable · 30/08/2024 23:59

I have about 4 straw hats for summer, 1 really cool festival hat its a bit like a steampunk but its purple and has beautiful lights on it, a 2 tone pork pie hat plus a little bowler like Pauline Black used to wear loads of berets, a furry one, a leather cowboy one, various crochet ones..can you tell I really like 👒

mondaytosunday · 31/08/2024 00:03

None. But my son must have half a dozen baseball caps, the same again in beanies, and at least two tweed flat cap type things. Possible a straw Panama type too.
My DD has about six wool berets.

puppyparent · 31/08/2024 00:04

I buy a new straw hat every summer because they always seem to get destroyed in transit.

Excluding my current straw hat, I have 2 baseball caps and about 5 woolly beanies (for skiing, walking and being out and about in winter). That's it.
