Sun hat for a mid 50s man that doesn't make him look like a twat...

Dh is mid 50s and getting thin on top. He needs a hat for the summer hols. Not a baseball cap.

He wants it to keep his head from burning but still cool. He's tall and slim.

He's a t-shirt and shorts with either flip flops or socks and trainers type of guy (i.e. not particularly smart or stylish!).

He does a lot of outdoors stuff and has these floppy style outdoorsy type hats usually. I'm hoping to find something a bit less twatty for the hols where I actually have to be seen with him rather than him wearing it up some mountain without me there.

DH has a straw trilby hat - I'm pretty sure it was from Primark, or somewhere similarly cheap.

My DDad is a panama wearer - he has a posh one you can roll up and put in a suitcase. Makes him look quite sophisticated.

I got my dad a khaki Mantaray baseball cap from Debenhams for Father's Day- he's 70 & bald he shaves his head & always wears spf at my insistence & usually a hat too.

In the winter it's a flat cap to keep warm & in summer a baseball cap. He wouldn't wear any other type of hat really.

Mine is 50 and got this one recently. It's ok and he thinks he is really cool! Grin

Most of the men I know (Kiwi's where sun protection is a must) go with something like this , this or a cricket hat
