Kidlit Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 I'm considering a hat as a viable option for hiding second day hair on vacation. (This is mostly due to the amount of time it takes for me to cajole my hair into passable shape these days.) I am a regular sun hat wearer at the beach or pool, but I'd like something that's a little less large/sun hat-ish. I've never in my life worn a baseball cap, though I do think it's a cute look on some women (not sure I'm one of those women, though.). My hair is a short angled bob that tends to be wavy, so no ponytail to contend with, though I think short hair poses its own hat problem. I'm also on the plump side and not as young as I used to be, though I still have young-ish kids (and I'm actually old enough to be my baby's grandma). Ideas? Bonus point for links.

Harriet Vane Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 Perhaps a scarf or a headband? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carol in Cal. Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 I like technical hiking hats, and they are kind of beyond cuteness, which is nice. They convey, Hey, I’m SERIOUS. But in a good, outdoorsy way. If I were looking for one right now, I’d want to try on this one: https://www.rei.com/product/218767/outdoor-research-mojave-sun-hat-womens (Outdoor Research is a great brand.) Mountain Hardware is another good brand. I like a chin strap in case of wind, but generally wear it loosely. It’s also great for securely the hat to a purse strap at times. https://www.rei.com/product/225040/mountain-hardwear-stryder-sun-hat?color=ALLIUM Maybe this one: https://www.rei.com/product/185551/outdoor-research-seattle-rain-hat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffwear e.g. https://www.buff.com/us/coonet-uvr-half-neckwear-buff-lazs-grey-grey-131613937.html?size=16675 https://www.buff.com/us/insect-shieldr-neckwear-buff-deri-multi-multi-131600555.html?size=16675 I have thicker ones for winter and thin UV ones for summer. I do wear baseball caps since I have a few. I also have a sunday afternoon sunhat that is similar to the links Carol posted https://sundayafternoons.com/products/adventure-hat?variant=38046303551678 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R828 Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 I think something like this is cute and will go with most outfits: https://www.amazon.com/Solar-Escape-Casual-Fedora-Tan/dp/B0951B442R/ref=asc_df_B0951B442R/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=521135315753&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=6902550545485007853&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9027782&hvtargid=pla-1292037290610&psc=1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toocrazy!! Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 Try the baseball cap- try to find a soft women's style that doesn’t stick up anywhere and then play around with your hair. I have a Nike technical type. If you Google short hair in a baseball cap you’ll find some looks. Lots of them have your hair covering your ears with a cap on top. I wear one a lot. I’ve come to like the look. I sweat a lot and have a thin spot that goes funny when it’s not working just right so I love the hat look. I’ve been looking for other types, but so far the casual baseball one works for me. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmasc Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 I have one very similar to this that I wear when I need a cap. I’m not a “cap/hat person” but I always like to have one for certain outdoor things, and this has been the only one I like. It’s very lightweight and fits close to the head. Mine is an older style, but it’s the same style as this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mona Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 I’m not a hat wearer either, but I like this one at WM. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Panama-Beach-Hat-for-Women-2-Pack-Wide-Brim-Straw-Hat-for-Summer-Sun-Beach-Travel-Ivory-and-Tan-Color/235179381?athbdg=L1600&from=/search 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bambam Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 I have two hats from Columbia like this one.https://www.amazon.com/Columbia-Unisex-Schooner-BankTM-Cachalot/dp/B09WK2VHJF One has the curved brim, one has a straight brim. I prefer the straight brim. I wear them to garden, mow the lawn, weed eat, walk, whatever. I also have the wide brim hats, but I like these better. I just find them more comfortable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got this hat in white for last year’s beach vacation and I now find myself throwing it on whenever my hair is kind of gross and really needs to be washed.

*Inna* Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 How about a cotton or linen beanie? https://www.etsy.com/listing/585140208/100-cotton-slouchy-beanie-for-men-and?ref=yr_purchases 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktgrok Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 For most anything a ball cap style works - they are very common around here on women, and I'm pretty sure for exactly the reason you state, lol. You can find so many now, in various colors/fabrics/etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
