Being a baldy, I wear a good old flat cap whenever venturing outside in the winter, to keep my noggin warm.
For particularly bitter cold days, I have a fleece beanie hat, which keeps my head warm and my ears covered.
For sunny summer days, I have a broad brimmed "jungle hat" from an an army surplus store, or a lightweight baseball hat from Decathlon. I keep thinking that one day I will buy a leather "Crocodile Dundee" style hat for summer.....

I have also taken to wearing the black flat cap when on stage, playing occasional band gigs. I kid myself that it adds cool style to my not very cool bass playing!

I only wear a hat whilst walking my dog when it’s cold. If it’s below freezing I’ll wear a Bomber/Trapper hat with the flaps down to keep my ears toastie. If not quite as cold I’ll wear a tweed type flat cap.
Here’s a couple modelled by my boy Bobbie.

Tilly hat in summer, don't like getting sunburn on my bald head. Fleece beany in cold weather, it's just thin enough to fit under my helmet as well.

Carbon fibre... LMAO!!!
In this weather without a beenie, my last 2 braincells would freeze.
I also have baseball caps for summer to.keep the sun out of my eyes and stop those 2 braincells melting. I did have a fedora but the washing machine killed it. I still have an Aussie leather bush hat (without the conkers) for days when it's slashing down or outdoors walking.
Me likes hats ^_^

Judging your grammar
Something woolly and green at this time of year, the wide-brimmed straw hats come out in summer.

Tilly hat, knackered old, 30 plus year leather ranch hat, old military peaked cap are my main ones. I have 16 or so hats that rarely get worn.
