Hats to wear about town

[Cleanqueennot]

I’ve never been a hat wearer but my scalp is beginning to burn in this sunny spell we are having! Can you please spam me with what you are wearing on your head? 😁

I need something practical to wear while pushing a pram, going to the shops, baby classes etc. it would be good if people could post actual links of stuff rather than just say ‘wear a cap’ 😂 I want to know exactly what people are wearing as I never see any women wearing hats wear I live!

The hat maker sweed in a little elastic at the back of the last straw hat I bought. I loop this under my hair (if I wear my hair open) or under a ponytail.

If it's windy I use a small claw clip or bobby pin to fasten the elastic loop to my hair.

I can send you a photo this evening, if you want.

I wear one of these, New York Yankees cap.

I have no clue who the Yankees are really but see a lot of relatively chic people wearing them so thought I'd give it a go

I easily get a burnt scalp

I'm wearing similar to the H&M one (but mine was new look)

I wear hats all the time and love the Wallaroo Sydney - I have it in 4 colours. The brim stays down when it is windy unlike some other hats I have bought that fold up at the slightest breeze.

I bought a broad brim hat from millets and it has a drawstring to hold it on under your chin. Folds up. Looks ok

I wear hats like this...

I like Tilly hats. They come in various sizes. Pricey but m6 first has lasted about 7 years so far. Not the trendiest, but reliable.

I add a cord with a toggle to our hats for an adjustable chin strap/hang the hat down your back when you don't want to wear it but don't want to lose it either. Not very elegant I admit, but no wading into the sea to get blown off hats back either! We are very fair, so baseball caps don't offer enough protection, but then wider brims catch the wind and get blown off.

I bought one from H&M this week which has quite a wide brim and taped to tie under your chin so it doesn’t blow off.

This is the one!

Does anyone who wears wallaroo know if they're stocked in shops anywhere? Can't see any info on their website and I'd be keen to try on before buying as my head is massive and hats rarely fit me

They are adjustable but I also think they have specific ones in large sizes.

If I need a casual hat, I wear a cap and stick a pony tail or plait through the hole a the back- which helps prevent it being blown off. The last one I got was in the mens section at M&S, but I've also got one from asda.

Bought this last year and I love it

Has a strap to keep it on in windy weather. I too have early macular degeneration.

Nothing helpful to add, I saw this thread in my daily MN email, but I REALLY wish I hadn't googled 'fedora' and seen this and this Paul Smith beauty.

Sorry, it's shein but I have this and love it

I've just bought this which does make me feel a bit beachy/holiday but I'm 5 months pregnant and pushing a buggy, I just neee the sun off my head! https://www2.hm.com/en_gb/productpage.1131721001.html

You can also get hair/parting sun sprays which I've used on holiday before, I think it was just by garnier

I always wear a hat. Summer I have a National Trust fold away hat, or more formal a straw hat with a bow. Winter I wear a woolen bobble hat. A full-face helmet on the motorcycle and when in the car it's a scarf tied over the hat to keep it from getting blown off my head!
DH has started to wear a Panama when the sun shines.

I have a straw trilby, it keeps the sun off but the narrow rim means it doesn’t catch the wind like a fedora etc.

My sister sent me a hat from Australia from Plowsurf. It has a brim and a tie under the chin so it doesn’t fall off in the wind or in the sea. I love it.
I saw on instagram that their xs size fits kids.
