Sunhat for someone with a big head

18 replies

MissusMaker · 11/04/2020 11:56

Title could be more flattering I suppose 😂

I'm after a hat for myself, I don't massively suit hats and I've never found one I like for sunbathing/walking around in the sun etc. I definitely don't want a huge giant one that will get in the way/be annoying to carry etc but I have a big head and fair big/frizzy hair so small ones look a bit daft too :/

I'm average height, size 18, light olive skin and dark dark brown hair, shoulder length. Where should I look?

Could you get a proper Panama hat? They come in a variety of sizes.

I have a big head too. Best for me is a baker boy style, the ones from Accessorize fit me.

MissusMaker · 11/04/2020 12:35

@mynameiscalypso yes, good idea. There are so many to choose from though

@FlibbertyGiblets can you link to an example? I can only find winter style hats like that...

I just bought a cheap and cheerful one in Primark for £4 to wear when out gardening and tbh it looks much better than my expensive Jigsaw one

I’ve a big head...I’ve ordered a few over the years but can’t get one to fit. The closest I got was a cowboy hat in Texas Grin

You just described my head and hair!
I got in in Tesco last year.

daydreamdaisy · 11/04/2020 12:52

Men's hats! Only ones I can wear - just go for a panama style one a lot of them are neutral looking Grin

Same problem here - big head with big hair and also not flattered by that description 😁
Not sure if the styles are what you are after, but I bought one from Tilley. They have a video explaining how to measure your head so you can order the right size. And they have the bonus of being indestructible - apparently they even survive being eaten by an elephant 😲

@StainlessSteelCat those are fab! Going to measure my head and I think get one of these www.tilley.com/uk_en/ltm5-airflo-hat.html

Hmm, this one comes in my size, I just don't know if I can picture myself in it www.tilley.com/uk_en/th9-melanie-hemp-sun-hat.html

I’ve got a massive head and have always done well with Matalan.

M0recakeplease · 13/04/2020 15:05

M and S have different sizes and their large size fits my big head! Failing that men’s hats!

happytoday73 · 13/04/2020 15:08

I agree with previous poster.. M&S do different sizes... They are OK.. Don't look glamorous but not horrible and do the job

Chochito · 13/04/2020 15:10

Accessorize hats tend to come up quite big, but as they're inexpensive, the sizes can vary so you'd need to try on in the shop.

bluebellsparkles · 13/04/2020 19:14

H&M men's panama hat was a revelation for my big head last year!

TacoFlavouredKisses · 13/04/2020 19:16

Huge head and huge hair here who also wears an XL men's Panama hat 🙄😁
