Hats

[Sandraellen]

Does anybody wear a hat when they go out dressed ? You don't see many GGs wear hats.

I want to wear hats - but never find find one I really enjoy wearing

I used to see these hat/wig combos in stores a few years back. They were those cadet style hats that were popular with girls at the time, with the hair sewn into the inner band, different colored hats, different shades of hair. I regret not buying one since I haven't seen them since. They would have been cool for a lazy/casual style.

I love wearing hats when i'm dressed, my problem is finding those that suit/fit me. My head is quite large and with a wig too i need a big hat.
This is a photo of me in a hat i wore to a fancy dress party last year.

I have one that I wore on vacation last year. Sorry, no picture available.
It's wide brim for sun and also rain protection.

Other than that, while I love hats, I don't have any. I was in a shop a while back (all styles of hats only) and tried on lots, but just couldn't find Me....

I never liked wearing hats in either mode.
Jean wears one all the time. Some people call her the hat lady.

Hi Sandra, Although I don't wear a hat when dressed I guess because I don't have any yet.

There's nothing sexier than a beautiful lady with a big hat on.

I have a nice collection of hats in both genders, but then I've always loved wearing hats. I don't go out, but it doesn't stop me from wearing a nice outfit, and a hat when it fit's the mood.

I sometimes wear a large brimmed beach hat with sunnies, big beach towel and a tankini.

[Sallee]

I were a baseball hat all the time in drab and occasionally a sun hat when dressed. Hats do look good on some

[Tracii G]

With my wigs it would have to be a huge hat size.lol

[Stephenie S]

Well yes. I love hats. I have several.

Are you saying you have a big head or puffy ears?

I have several hats that I wear. Everything from retro pillbox hat (think Jackie Kennedy) to large brimmed beach hat. Have fun with it. That is what life is all about.

[cyndigurl45]

Yes I have one I know, I know



I have to smile

Makes me think of Audrey Hepburn in "My Fair Lady" or Kate Winslet at the start of "Titanic." But those are period pieces that would be so hard to pull off today.

[Kaz]

Hats are an oddity aren't they!?

Simple answer is no not really, but then I couldn't resist this one...

Hi Sandra!

When I was a little girl I loved hats! Family and friends would bring me hats from trips they made, etc. and I had a nice little collection. But by the time I was a teen I decided they made me look silly and just plain didn't work for me. So I stopped wearing them for many, many years. Still liked to see 'em, just would never wear one.

Now that I'm older I've rediscovered them and I've come to the conclusion that they work for me once again. So there are occassions when I wear them again. I especially love the veiled hats of the 1950's as restro wear but I don't have many of those and very seldom do get a chance to wear that style.

But if we're going to be out in the Southern California summer sun I often wear this hat that I bought in Santa Barbara.

Hugs,
Persephone.

[ColleenA]

OK, Persephone. Prove me wrong.

[Persephone]

OK, Persephone. Prove me wrong.

Thank you, Colleen! I do like the way that hat looks on me.

But please do try one for yourself. Just like my experience, you may be pleasantly surprised by the result!

Hugs,
Persephone.

Those those who wear wigs and hats, do you find it ends up crushing the wig and ruining the style after a while? I'd love to be able to wear dressy hats (especially a pillbox style with a veil) but haven't been able to find one that fits my head, especially with the wig on, and I am worried about ruining the wig style.

[RitaJanelle1964]

I usually keep my head shaved most of the time, and just for fun now and then, I'll go out dressed wearing a black fedora and no wig, just to see if I get a reaction. I've also gone out a time or two with no wig or hat at all. Most people probably think I'm a cancer patient, but the double-takes I get are priceless...

[AllieSF]

I want to try wearing hats out when I go out into the city. However, the few times I have tried one on with my wig it always seems like it wants to slide off. What am I doing wrong, or is that natural and it will stay there unless it is windy?

[I Am Paula]

Good thread. I've never owned a hat, and frequently wanted to, but when I try one on it's just not me. Are some people just hat friendly, and others not? I admire a beautiful woman really pulling of a look with a great chapeau, and I laughed my *ss of at the godawful lids at Kate Middletons wedding (what were they thinking?). I'll keep looking, as I have a new navy blue cashmere coat for this winter, which will go with skinny jeans, and suede ankle boots... so maybe some suggestions girls?-Celeste
