what can I wear on my head without looking like a twat?

[BishyBarneyBee]

have fine hair and if it is really hot my scalp burns.

can't put sun block

headscarf things not very me

hats with brims make me look like an eccentric

caps make me look a bit vulgar

fuckityfuck

tbh, I reckon most adults look like twats in hats in summer

so if you go for the hat option, you won't be the only twat in the village

I'm having a similar problem 'cept mine is from a less 'skin aware' perspective. I'm worried my dark brunette will fade in the sun!

I think I'm going for wide headbands, possibly progressing to head scarf but with long face it doesn't look so great.

I have decided straw summery hats are rubbish except at weddings and caps are for with tracksuits only so I have no advice except to find a funky head band/scarf and make it work somehow.

My scalp burns too, it's horrible. I went into Accessorize a few weeks ago and tried on every single hat until I found 2 that suited me (well, 2 that were less unflattering than the others anyway).

What about a cap that isn't a baseball cap, like this?

caps back to front, you could start another trend

Love the thread title

DH says helpfully "not a trifle"

Hooray for Accessorize! I've got something a bit like this; has a little brim, hopefully not eccentrically large.

If you're not used to wearing a hat then whatever you wear will look worryingly weird to you. If you're not convinced by the way you look in a hat, then take along someone whose judgement you trust when you go shopping for a hat. Once you get used to it, and become confident about wearing a hat in public, you'll find that your opinion changes of how different styles look on you.

I generally wear a hat all year round, but this summer is the first summer in nearly 10 years that I'm not wearing a hat (only because I haven't got around to buying one) and I feel embarassingly naked and overheated without one. But it was very different when I had to start wearing hats - boy did I feel self-conscious and daft!

Its really difficult isn't it. I always feel a bit guilty insisting that DS wears a hat, but not wearing one myself. But what are you supposed to wear? The only options seem to be baseball hat, floppy hat or Ascot hat.

I borrowed one like that from my sister at the weekend. God did I regret it when I saw my reflection in the car window, it looked awful!

Can't say it did my sister any favours either and she's about 3 dress sizes larger than me.

I reckon hats make you hotter tbh
