Yes, yes, another "fashoin thread."

I've always been a ballcap girl but I've seen so many pictures here and elsewhere of people in their cute vacation hats (or maybe you wear them all the time). Of course, this question probably goes mostly to the ladies but guys might have some ideas, too.

So where do you get your cute beach hats?

Whenever I try on a hat, I feel like I can't pull off the look- maybe I just need to find the right one for me?

Thanks!

I know I seem to get EVERYTHING summer from J Crew, but they just work for me. I love J Crew hats!!

I bought some cheap ones from Kohl's. The straw type hats do not travel well. I also got some visor dealies. I got made fun of for my tourist hats. I don't care. I wish soceity in general would still wear hats. It would be great for bald people as well as us girls not wanting to deal with bad hair days

Obsessedmuch, I too am more of a ballcap girl. I have found though that when looking for other types of hats, like for the Oaks or Derby, I have to try on a lot of them to see what looks best on me. I could never order one without being able to see it on.
That said, I'm probably just taking ballcaps to St. John.

Didn't I buy you one of those hot-chick-in-paradise mock cowboy straw hats at Mongoose Junction last year? Wear that tonight when I get home.

My island hat is a ballcap, but not just any ballcap. It's a brown "Life Is Good" hat with a pink heart in the middle (I'm sure that symbolizes Love City) and I had "STJ" embroidered on it. Ali~

I love that, B-as-u-r!! I often wear a "Life is Good" hat, but it's not personalized. I love it, though, green with flip-flops.

I love my the beatings will continue ball cap I get a new one every time down. It keeps the juniors in line and guessing

For me...on cloudless days, it's my white St John cap. A few clouds, my blue St Thomas cap. More clouds, it's my riversmallies.com cap. (home on cold days, I have a white Marco Island cap my bro-in-law got me that is thick and keeps me head warm)

And they are all caps....not the trucker type, but non fitted baseball types. I have a suede fedora type that has seen better days and has since been retired, but that was for hiking only.

Thanks, all! Maybe I'll be on a hat quest this weekend.

I'm a visor girl myself. I got my first one at Lake Powell many many years ago (it's long gone now). I've collected them from lots of places. My favorites I got on Bonaire, Lake Powell and Palm Springs.

I usually just wear my old Red Sox hat. It is so bleached out by the sun and the snap is all rusty from wearing it in the ocean but I still like it.

That said, I got a really neat catalog in the mail the other day that has some cool hats and other good beachy stuff in it. I am definitely ordering some of their capris plus a pair of surf shorts for our day sail, and might get one of the bucket hats. Website here: http://www.athleta.com

CafePress is a great place to get really original caps. They will do the designs that they have done for others, or your own design. The site might be hard to navigate, but the list of caps is HUGE. I'm thinking of getting one for Bushwood Country Club

Ohhhhhh J.Crew hats. I never thought of J.Crew for hats. I know I have a problem.

I also have several life is good ball caps - the yellow w/ flip-flops and lavendar w/ the yoga chick. They are great for the beach!
