    I need a hat to keep my nose and forehead out of the sun.

    During the spring,winter and autumn (or sprintertumn as the weather was the same) I embraces wooly hats of all shapes and sizes and found that they added a lot to an outfit. But now its too hot for them and Ijm left wondering what to put on my head now.


    The only thing I can think of is a cowboy hat but I feel like id constantly look like i was festival bound, or a sporty peaked cap. Are they really the only options for a girl in summer?

    All suggestions much appreciated!!!

    The Panama or Fedora are really nice and v fashionable for men and women.
    I bought one last month and wear it all the time in the sun. I've had some very positive comments about it.
    There is something classical about these hats!!

    oooh i love the straw trilby ones!

    If i could get away with it id get a huge floppy sun hat, but alas still live in ireland....

    Does anyone know of any high street shops that stock them? I have a ..ahem a somewhat oversized head ahem that makes online hat shopping impossible. :o

    Penneys hats are tiny!

    They have a really cool wide brim straw hat in Dunnes at the moment that I am in love with! It's not too big, just a nice size for Summer.

    I have melon-head as well :( Haven't bought anything from him because of brokeness issues but Shevlin milliners (oldgoat already mentioned them) in the Essex St design centre will make you a hat to fit if you fancy it. His hats are super pretty as well

    M&S do a decent range of sizes too, I went a bit too big on mine so it almost drops off if I lower my head, but that's at the XL size
