Do You Wear Hats? What Kinds?

I wear hats in the summer, pretty much anytime I am outside for any period of time. I have thin hair and if my scalp gets sunburned, YOWEE! Of course, in Florida, that applies to winter, too.
My hair has thinned a lot over the years, it used to be very thick. Sunburn can be very painful yes!
 
If I'm working outside or walking the dogs and it's raining I'll wear a ball cap.

If it's it's cold out and I'm working outside or walking the dogs I'll wear a knit hat that I can pull over my ears.

If I'm going somewhere nice and it's raining or snowing I'll wear a Scali Cap. I have a light cap for warmer weather and a heavier wool cap for winter time.

When it's so cold my eyebrows freeze I go with one of these!

I grew up wearing hats. A hat was part of the school uniform, a straw one for summer, a felt one for winter...Sunday best was a little matching hat and coat. Funnily enough, I don't remember my mother wearing a hat, but she enjoyed dressing up her little girl in outfits which included one. Now I feel naked if I go out without one.
 
I wear various hats depending on the season, and my activities. If I'm taking a walk or playing golf I'll wear a visor. If I'm working in the yard, it's a sunhat. We have a pontoon boat and if we're out on that I have a boating hat with strings to tie under my chin. I used to have a really cool wool hat that looked like a man's fedora that I wore in the winter but I don't know where it went to.
 
I look weird in hats so I never wear them. The one exception is when we are out on our boat-then it is a ballcap with bling on it. That is only to keep my scalp from burning.
 
Yes I wear hats winter & summer...

This is a photo of me from this afternoon when were out visiting a Jacobean house...... ..typical of the hats I wear in summer, and then in winter I always wear a beenie style hat... It was over 100 deg f today...

I hate wearing any kinds of hats, but like you Jim, if I'm out with the dog and it's raining or threatening rain, I'll wear a ball cap to keep the rain off my face. If I'm out camping and taking long hikes in the sun, I'll also wear it. I wear a wool knit hat on cold winter days, usually just a black or gray one, nothing fancy.

We have one of those hats similar to the one in the photo, left by my father-in-law. It's around somewhere but we never really wear it. We both have super warm winter parkas for snow blizzard conditions with hoods that are warm and protect the face too.
 
My gf collects hats, but she doesn't wear them. She has major designer hats, really good looking, but she doesn't like wearing them. I wear hats all of the time, when I'm outside. I figure they help prevent sunburn and melanomas, later down the line.

I made a Hall of Hats with the gf's collection, after I gave up on asking her to wear them. It looked cool until I took it down. My hats are still up. We have a blown up copy of the famous, original Mad Hatter's Tea Party up in our hall
