Hat!

[livejournal.com profile] aviva_m and [livejournal.com profile] curious_reader tell me it's not really safe to wear a capel in the street in Germany, so it strikes me I need a hat to cover it for when I am going to shul there on Shabbos (once the temperature is high enough it's no longer need a woolly hat I need!).

I've mentioned this to various people, and they've suggested a baseball cap, which I flat out rejected. I might have worn baseball caps occasionally fifteen years ago; but it's really not me now. My mother suggested a sun-hat, but I wear the one I have on sufferance, and only in hotter climes: northern Europe really does not cut it!

So what, then? A fedora is smart (grey, of course: I wouldn't want to be taken, if wearing it in London, for a black hat); but wouldn't go well with my summer jacket, which is too short and too informal. (My mother also thinks it really wouldn't suit me, but what does she know?)

A straw boater would certainly suit this outfit, but might look a bit silly not in the height of summer.

Any other thoughts, anyone?

Straw fedora, or, new grown-up jacket.
