I have a hat that is rather like this one, without the fancy label

but it's not very packable.

Regaring how to dress:
If you wear a hat like mentioned in the shop above, it should be fit to the rest of your wardrobe, i.e. not shorts, white socks, shirt and a hat. Depending on the style it should at least be chino, shirts and appropriate shoes (not running shoes and no sandals).
I'm OK on most of those. Re: shoes, I have in mind to wear what is really an athletic shoe but with a solid black, leather upper: http://www.onlineshoes.com/mens-new-...ack-p_id212716.

Your wardrobe could be more stylish, if you use the hat as a fashion statement. But then you should be the person able to wear this kind of clothes.
Well, I'm 60 and not in the least way stylish, so a fashion statement is probably not in the offing.

Thanks for the help.
