DOFF YOUR CAP TO SUMMER SUN
So with Summer well on it's way we all know that a sun hat is an essential. Some people though tell me they hate hats, or hats don't suit them. I say just bung it on and don't be scared, you'll find one that suits you just fine.
I love a straw hat and have had many until they fray and start looking like the scraps from a wayward hay bale. You can pick up some pretty reasonable ones out there too so why not buy a couple this season. The great thing is is that hair doesn't have to be styled or tousled, but can be easily hidden under a hat and I would concur that straw hats are perfectly acceptable attire to wear inside (OK, maybe not in your posher joints) and definitely outside a bar or restaurant. So get hunting as it looks like you're going to need one ...........
This is me in one I picked up on our West Coast road trip on our stop off in Vegas. God, I really have never experienced heat like it......... don't know what I did with the one I went away with as I never venture on my holidays without my trusty headgear - can only think it was lost along the way or left in the RV. Anyway, I headed straight to the first hat stall and bought this. Been firmly attached to my head ever since, as soon as there's even a mere mention of sunshine.....

What a beauty - this one is made to order but looks like it'd be worth the wait
Anything that you can shove in a case and it still comes out holding its shape gets a 'yes' from me
