What can men wear on their heads? Asking for a friend.

[TomPinch]

I would like to wear something on my head: a sunhat in summer and something to keep the elements off in winter. This is probably a stupid question, but is there anything men can wear on their heads that doesn't look absurd? This is the problem?

Baseball caps: don't shade the neck.
Cloth caps: too hipster
Homburgs / trilbies etc: too old.
Beanies: too hot (I live in NZ).
Panamas: too twatty.

Please could I ask for general guidance on what men should and should not wear on their heads and what sort of image the various options tend to portray.

There was a thread in (our) summer asking the same!
The advice was mainly bucket hats (do you know what they are? Like the Stone Roses wore)
And something maybe called outback hats- men wear them to cricket matches here... One particular make was recommended, but hopefully someone will come along soon and remember, because I've clean forgotten.

Maybe look through this thread ?

I've only read the first page but Siggi looks a good make .

Or a Tilley www.amazon.co.uk/s/?hvlocphy=9045890&hvptwo&hvnetw=g&keywords=tilley+hats&hvadid=259039657165&index=aps&hvpone&ref=pd_sl_3phw0whkpx_e&hvlocint&hvpos=1t4&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl&hvqmt=e&tag=mumsnetforum-21&ie=UTF8&hvtargid=kwd-295951770693&adgrpid=52986535357&hvrand=10569267144520545406

Tilley hats! I think that was the ones I meant.

A crown, A halo. or a nice manly stetson.!!! Or a fur russian type hat or a judges wig for winter. or lastly, depending on your age, a knotted hankie

You don't say your age.
DH (in his 40s) wears a trilby in winter and I think it looks dignified and dashing.

Tilleys are awful, sorry.

Anything cool should only be worn by men over 60. Fedoras and Panamas.

Be like Italian men and stay in the shade. Looking all louche and stylish.

I agree - trilby ,fedora etc

Dh wears a waxed Stetson in the spring, summer, autumn and a wool beanie in the night of winter. He used to wear a tilly hat until it died (delegated to diy hat). He wears fleece beanies for winter running. He has a diamond ♦ shape head so really only the Stetson suits him.
