Hat Recommendations

jspringer4 · December 2021

I’m starting AC on 12/16. I work in the court system and have a trial scheduled for 1/10, after my hair will be gone. I’m looking for recommendations for comfortable hats/head coverings that look professional enough to wear in a courtroom. Thanks

Hi Jspringer4! I am an attorney though I don't practice in the courtroom anymore, so I'm pretty sure I know what kind of look you're going for. Here's a style I got from Amazon. Very light and comfortable! Maybe it will work for you.

jspringer - here is the Etsy page that came up when I searched - there are a bunch of hats that might work, in varying weights too. I wore a hairpiece that was made from my own hair, but required a hat to cover the soft fabric top. I wore fedoras mostly with it, but had this one for looking more dressy. Good luck!

I really like Jon Renau The Softie made out of bamboo. Cotton heads have a scratchy sound by your ears which are annoying

I just received a number of hats from headcovers.com and I am really happy with them. I got two "slouchy beanies," and despite the name (neither slouchy nor beanie sounds very promising, I know) they look very unobtrusive and professional. Like a wide hairband in the front, and a bit of drape in the back. In the photo on the website, I think they've inserted padding or something to make it look more like a turban from the front, but on me they just fit the shape of my head nicely.

I got a dark blue one and a charcoal one. I think they look good with the tailored jacket/skirt/nice shoes I generally wear to work.

Delivery was fast, one week from Texas to Toronto over Thanksgiving weekend, and they are not to expensive, so give them a try? I swear, I don't work for the company! :-) But I am quite happy with the hats.

I also really liked the slouchy beanie from headcovers.com. They are very soft and give the appearance of some fullness due to the "slouch". I work in healthcare and was comfortable all day in work. I bought a heather gray and the dark gray color which I would fashion with pretty scarves to match my scrubs. You can buy thin scarves and wrap it around the front band of the beanie. I used to secure it with a ponytail holder and tie it off to one side . Anyhow just some ideas you can get creative with it. Best wishes.

I also wore and recommend the Headcovers.com slouchy beanies. I chose several neutral colors to coordinate with various outfits.

Accessorizing the beanies with scarves is a great idea, Cookie54!

These were my absolute favorites. None of the cheaper ones held up as well as these. I had multiple colors (Sara was my favorite): https://www.mastectomyshop.com/turbans-headscarves...

Yes, Cookie54, that's a great tip. I hadn't thought of that!

Star, great recommend, and I especially liked the "sara"—I haven't seen something in that texture before. I may pick one up.
