Hats!

I love hats on other people would love to wear a hat but where so live they dont wear hats we are going to a Wedding in July and I would love to wear s fascinator but dont know if I dare

I don't think of fascinators as hats, more as headdresses, which I suppose hats are too in a literal sense but, for me, a hat is also something with a purpose other than, but possibly including, decoration.

I'd noticed more hats (bobble hats in particular) being worn this winter too, fennel.

I tend to wear baseball caps in the summer but I really should get a Panama hat for the sun (can't afford one at the moment)

I did wear my beanie hat during the cold weather, it doesn't suit me but I can't bear cold ears

Rarely wear a hat to a Wedding & didn't wear one when DH & I got married, I just don't suit them.

I never, ever wear hats or even try them on. I cannot bear anything at all on my head at all. I flinch if anyone goes to put a hat on me.
I even dislike the paper hats at Christmas. I have no idea why I am like this.
I hate baseball caps on others, or to see people wearing hats indoors. I feel uncomfortable when I see some people looking ridiculous wearing strange hats.

lilypops the lovely visors can be had at Surprizeshop, GolfGarb, Miss designer Golf and Sunwiser. Defintely improves my golf if I'm not blinded by the sun.

I thought I was not a formal hat person until I tried one on for very formal occasion last year. Being tall I look daft in fascinators, but somehow the wide brimmed hat made me feel ‘dressed up’. So I now have two such hats and look forward to a special wedding in June when I shall have the chance to dress up again?
Certainly wouldn’t want to wear one with feathers on though. Yuc!

Well, being a chap, I find that wearing a hat especially in Winter is essential but very unfashionable in the UK as most men do not, even in cold or rainy weather. My job took me to Poland for three years and most men there wear hats ( and many women wear fur coats) so I have a collection of two fine trilby hats, some beanies, two fedora types, sun hats, peaked caps and even had a real Russian fur hat that I bought having had a spell in Novgorod )at -15C) in the Winter.
I wore the Russian fur hat shopping with my wife in the UK to a supermarket and the remarkable thing is no one comments whatever you wear so I say to all you other Gramps, don't be shy - get a hat or preferable several!

I very rarely wear them, but did wear one for dd's big but relatively informal and mostly out of doors wedding do.

I knew it was likely to be hot, and it was.
It was just a fairly basic, wide brimmed straw hat which I trimmed to pretty it up a bit - shades of Jane Austen, 'making my bonnet up new!'
