No. I have a bucket hat I wear to keep the sun off my face and scalp when I am working in my garden. And I have a variety of headwear for my various holiday outfits. Hats, headbands, tiny little hats clipped into ones hair. But I am not really a fan and do not wear them in everyday life. I hate a sweaty head anyway. Add a hat to it it makes it extra sweaty.

I also do not wear sunglasses often. I was sort of pushed into getting those transition lenses on my last pair of eyeglasses. I tend to not wear contacts on my days off. I HATE the transition feature. Hate it hate it hate it.

I don't like them but I wear a baseball cap to keep the sun out of my eyes because I hate sunglasses.

I always wear a straw hat under the sun during warm weather, I also have a couple fabric sun hats for swimming. I have one or two straw hats in each car for just in case. I wear fur hats during the winter months in our snow country, so I have many hats for all seasons. I have about 15-20 pairs of sunglasses, a couple pairs in each car, and an extra pair for just in case for all my big scooters . One time I dropped and broke my sunglasses at a riding stop, I had to buy a pair I didn’t like, I also carry a couple pairs in my purse as well. I like to have extras for just in case.

I live in Australia, the skin cancer capital of the world. I wear a hat - usually a bucket or wide brim, and I wear fitovers over my glasses pretty much whenever I'm out and about. And I check my skin regularly for irregularities. Because I lived most of my life elsewhere, I've not had any issues, but my Aussie husband has had more basal cell and squamous skin cancers than I care to think about. No melanomas so far, thank goodness. But this is not a subject to joke about.

I always wear a hat and sunglasses outside as well as full sunscreen. I am trying to prevent additional sun damage after spending my younger years worshipping the sun. I don’t love wearing a hat but dont mind the sunglasses at all - they are prescription so I wear them everywhere.

No hats for me--I am a hair person. Sunglasses when I am driving on a bright day. Mine is mostly a shade garden so neither sunglasses nor hats are really needed.

Yes I wear white cotton sun hats in the summer to protect my scalp and face. My biggest problem is my head is smaller and so many hats I try just slip down over my ears...not a good look.

Over the past 2 years, I started wearing a baseball style cap every day to work, and when I'm around strangers. This is mainly to keep my hair corralled and help shield my face from kids' and other people's germs, but I live in a skin cancer prone area too, and have had one episode of squamous cell on my arm. I learned the hard way to cover up in our harsh sun.

I always wear a bucket hat when I work in the yard too.

Like Lily, I’m not big on wearing sunglasses, so I like to wear a cap in the sun. Baseball or trucker. But if I’m wearing one through the course of a normal day it’s a pretty good indication I haven’t showered and my hair’s a mess.

I wear a ballcap for my first dog walking event of the day. They don't want to wait for Mom to take a shower and fix my hair (obviously), so it's ballcap and pony tail time. Plus the brim of the hat somewhat hides my face....which is fine with me because I'm not looking very dapper at 6 am anyway.

Other than that, never.

I dislike hats. Anything on my head, including headbands, gives me a headache and feels like my head is being constricted. I can deal with hoods for the cold but not hats :-)

My garden is also mostly shady and I spend very little time in direct sun so sun protection is not a critical concern. And PNW sun is pretty darn mild anyway!

Not so much any more, but I used to live in ball caps. Between running and working in lawn care, I pretty much wore a hat during waking hours. And once it went on, it stayed on. Curly, damp hat head is a sight for nobody!

I was told just yesterday a trick for sliding glasses. Put the tiniest bit of stick deodorant on your nose and your glasses will stay up. I haven't tried it, and I don't know if it works for a sweaty face, but itz easy to try.

Only on a bitter cold day will I don a hat.

I'm with Sweet Betsy, it messes up my hair.

I always wear sunglasses all year round.

Hats for decoration? no, not a fan. Winter hats to keep head warm, summer hats to keep eyes and skin shaded. My current favorite summer hat is one of those fairly wide brim, chin strap, and a handy strap to adjust the size of the hat to match the size of your head, not too tight and not too loose -- which makes a big difference in wearing comfort.

I wear a large floppy straw hat on the boat as the sun is brutal. Also my oversized RX sunglasses. Rarely wear a hat for the rest of the time. Winter? I wear at thick toque or ear flap hat. In winter you can have a great hat or great hair but not both. I choose the hat and stay warm.

I can't wear cheap sunglasses. The cheap lens's make me ....well....vomit. They give you a headache. I have to wear optical grade sunglasses. Then my head is small, so I can wear a youths size, so they don't slip. I also wear a croakie eyewear retainer. I collect hats. I have one from each ski town, Vail/Aspen/Breckenridge. Then I have mesh hats for running. Floppy one for hiking. Straw one for laying in a chaise lounge. I also wear bandanas under them, especially if I'm gardening. I have balaclavas or infinity scarfs for winter....baggie ones....that drape...let air in....and yes one fur hat!

Elmer, try Rogaine lawn fertilizer.

If your hat is too large you can remove the inside grosgrain band and sew in a strip of narrow felt to make the opening smaller. Then stitch the inner band over it carefully to accommodate the puffiness.

Wide rim hats for gardening and yard work, and while out traveling, shopping, etc. baseball caps of all colors, but no red ones.

Annie, I believe you sew, so here is an idea for your too-large hats: get some (preferably all cotton) bias tape (or you can make your own) and add (sew on) an extra band of interfacing to the inside of your hat.

Sometimes when a hat is a large or men’s and too wide for me, I wash and dry it.

ETA I see that Elizabeth suggested a similar (better) remedy.

I don’t wear hats. Like Annie, they slip down over my face and ears. I have fine, straight hair, so there’s not much friction helping hold them in place. And, when I take them off, my hair is completely flat.

Since I’m not used to wearing them, when I DO wear one, it takes me awhile to not feel like my vision is blocked.

So, my winter coats and raincoats always have hooods.

Wide brim hats with neck protection for gardening, baseball caps when my my hair needs a wash and also baseball caps to keep the sun out of my eyes and off of my scalp on the boat. Beanie hats in the winter to pull over my ears. Straw hats for the beach...my hair has become very thin and I have to protect my scalp.

I wear hats all the time, usually a Tilley, tennis or a bucket hat. I cannot have the sun in my eyes.

The brim cannot P2 why because I went to my head that way in nearly gotten a concussion. I like the underside of the brim to be dark colored and the hat can’t fit too tightly. When I’m in a boat or when it’s windy, I need to have ties to hold it on my head. And I like to be able to flip the brim up (which looks as foolish as Clem Kadiddlehopper) when I want to watch birds or need to see better around shrubs.

I even wear a hat in the car to keep the sun out of my eyes.

I wear a hat in winter out of necessity. Summer I rairly use one. Maybe on a hot day at the lake I will if I'm going to be there all day. I gave up wearing sunglasses when I started having to wear my regular glasses consistently. I don't like having to switch glasses back and forth. I tried the changing glasses and didn't like them either.

Petal, I do like my Tilley! It fits, the brim is just right, flip up or down, and ties. And the crown is high enough that it doesn't flatten my hair as much, but doesn't look too big for my head.

I just wear a hat gardening, but no sunglasses while gardening. I always wear sunglasses while driving in the daytime.

I forgot I do wear winter caps when it's reallty cold and I know I'm going to be out in the weather. I don't like them either as they flatten my hair. I do appreciate the warmth.

I have an expensive pair of sunglasses in my car for driving but I don't want to wear them in the garden, too easy for them to get damaged. I bought a cheap pair when I went to see my daughter a couple weeks ago. I may try the deoderant thing. I have to move some mulch today.

I have to wear polarizing lenses for suns. One brand is inexp and can fit over eyeglasses.

I cannot wear suns when garening bc I need a lot of light to see.

I’ve lost or misplaced some of my best hats. Now, I write my initials and a phone # inside.

One of my very fave cotton brimmed hats was from a Marshall like store 14 years ago For $14. It fit perfectly, the brim was not short and not too wide. It was black and had an Addidas logo in white on the front. It could have had a photo of rat scat, I just liked the fit and the brim. I got compliments on it — okay, from guy hitting on me, but still….

I have the hat but it has faded unevenly in an unattractive way, greenish undertones. I should have kept it for ”Sunday Best” but loved it so much so wore it outside for yard work. It’s been sprayed with DEET and permethrin so often (brim under) that it’s almost 95% big chemical company. It looks horrible.

I’ve looked all over for a replacement. I’d pay $50, maybe more. I’ve looked online. Addidas has now changed the hat to have either a 3” brim (too wide by an inch) or a narrower brim (1.5”?). And, as a bonus, they make it ”One Size Fits Hardly Anybody.”

Made in the big C China, like most other things and about $35. Ain’t gonna do it.

I’ve considered making my own, but I think to do that well, I’d need Lars to visit. Maybe I can find a good seamstess, sewy person to duplicate it. The brim cannot be floppy.

Dark blue or black preferred. I’d better hurry and find one before they add that godawful spandex to every squard yard of cotton or twill.

Anyone here got a new or used 14 year old Addida cotton full brimmed hat they care to sell or trade?

The one below — brim is about .5” too short/narrow. Comes in only one sze — fat head sized ;(

I only wear them in winter, to help keep me warm. I have very thick hair and they make me hotter in warm weather. Even baseball type hats.

Wide rim hats for gardening and yard work and fishing.

In winter, if it gets really, really brutal, I will wear a knit scarf arranged similar to the pic above over my head & face.

I also hate hats but I have to keep the hot sun off my head while gardening, mowing, and during my daily 4-mile walk. I’ve been using DH’s bucket fishing hat but could use a recommendation for a pretty and lightweight woman’s sun hat.

Kathsgrdn, do you recommend the one you bought from LL Bean?

A pink lightweight baseball hat for running/hiking which I always wear. I wear a golf hat for gardening because I like the larger brim and I always wear sunglasses if it's the least bit sunny.

I don’t particularly like wearing a hat, but when i started running I started wearing a lightweight hat or visor. When we travel in the Miata (convertible) I have a wider brim hat with a drawstring. My head is small too, so I have to find something adjustable, sized, or with an elastic band. Hat head is a real thing.

I always wear good sunglasses. I have a narrow nose bridge and find that it helps to shop around for a pair that fits well. I love a particular model of Maui Jim’s and have a couple of pair. I can send them off for repairs or new lens, sometimes it’s been free, so I feel like I’ve more than gotten my money’s worth and they don’t slide around.

@littlebug zone 5 Missouri, I haven't received it yet but will let you know.

It was this one: Women's Sunday Afternoons Clear Creek Boonie Reversible Sun Hat | Rain & Sun Hats at L.L.Bean (llbean.com)

I wanted the purple but it had a later shipping date so I got the blue.

Wearing a hat is a necessary evil for me, in the winter for warmth because it's so flipping cold up here in Ohio and in the summer to keep the sun off my face if I'm doing outdoorsy type things, like mowing or flea market stuff. I do not LIKE to wear them, I just have to.

@OutsidePlaying you mentioned sunglasses for a narrow nose: I ordered myself some during Christmastime sales last winter from RayBan.com The have a SMALL adult size! Who knew? I love them as they fit my nose much better than the regular sunglasses.

I rarely wear them; the last time was at the beach, and I had on a sun hat.

This is my favorite hat:

It is from the Ivory Coast and is very comfortable. The air space on top keeps my head cool, and it is not too stiff. I once walked past someone on the street in Palm Springs who asked me if I knew which tribe had made this hat because he had been to The Ivory Coast and knew more about my hat than I did.

Here's another hat that I made myself

but it is just for decoration and it open on top. I only wear it on special occasions.

I'm not a hat person. I do belong to a Red Hat group and wear them at functions but I tend to a casual or silly costume vibe with those. I own a lot of costume hats for Hallow type stuff. But hats for daily wear? Big NO.
