Hats

It is not a custom for us living in South East Asia to wear hats.  Well yes, there are baseball caps and the occasional beach hat, but that's about it.

I find hats fascinating, but just like clothes, you have to find a hat that suits your face and head.  Then the colors and material and type of hat to suit the occasion.  For example, a straw hat may not be appropriate for a formal wedding, or a fedora to the beach.  

Here are a few hats that I love.  I think large brimmed hats are best for this tropical climate, protects your face from the sun - and it looks fashionable too!
