I don't look good in hats and they never fit on my hair right....I have very curly, thick hair about shoulder length. I have too much hair the way it is, putting a hat on it is like trying to cover a haystack with a tarp....just keeps sliding off! 
I have a straw garden hat which I've never worn. Even in winter, my hair sweats underneath. In the summer, I skin it up in whatever alligator clip I can find that's sturdy enough and go to work.

The best reason I have to wear a hat is that the brims keep the rain off my glasses. I have a baseball cap for reasonably warm rain (held on with a pony tail through the back,) a waterproof polar fleece with pull down ear flaps for colder and wetter, a bombader's hat for reallllllly windy days, a knit cap for dry but cold, a couple of straw hats for summer gardening and a helmet for riding. In fact I have so many hats that I have a hat bin in the laundry room.

I love hats & have been told I look great in them. But I don't wear them too often. I have straw & baseball ones. Now dh on the other hand goes no where without his cowboy hat. Except the pastor would not let him wear it when we got married during the ceremony.

I don't like hats--they dont fit me well, but at times they are a necessry evil in my life. In winter--I have what I call my ugly hat. It is an insulated baseball-style hat with ear flaps that buckle under my chin. the brim keeps the rain off of my glasses. I need to bundle up in the winter, so this hat is a necessity for me.
In summer, only when I spend alot of time outside, like in the garden or yardwork, I have a floppy wide brimmed hat.--the only one I have found that fits my head well, and gives me the sun protection that I need. I go without a hat whenever possible. I used to tan well, but now(maybe its where I'm living now, dunno) I seem to burn, so sometimes the hat is necessary. If I could go without a hat I would.

I am perpetually cold, so I wear a hat nearly all the time outside between October and March. Sometimes I wear it inside too. I have even worn it to bed before. LOL My cold weather hat is a WOOL (very important) knit cap. The darn thing is not lined, so I usually have an itchy forehead . . . I keep thinking I'm going to line it with silk or something, but never get to it. This is a man's gray wool hat, because I couldn't find any no frills (not ski chic) wool hats for women. 
Did I mention that my hair frizzes up when the air is humid and gets all messy when the wind blows (despite being pulled back in a pony tail)? So I really can't go outside without something over my hair . . . without scaring off the locals and the wildlife, that is. 
In the summer I usually wear a bandana. I really like my bandana collection.
