" You seem to hate all hats, but we bald men need protection from the sun. Could you please give some recommendations? \u2014 Mark Brown, Columbus, Ohio Come, come: We are not against all hats, per se. Hats are fine. It&amp;#039;s only when they are put on people&amp;#039;s heads that they become problematic. Fifty years ago, not wearing a hat was a statement; today, wearing a hat is unavoidably a statement. That said, you&amp;#039;re right that hats perform a valid function in summer. You might opt for a classic panama. a favorite of outdoorsmen like Teddy Roosevelt and famed aviator and Cartier muse Alberto Santos-Dumont. The panama, superlight and comfortable to wear in the stickiest weather, is perfect for wearing with a suit if you must wear a hat at all. Got a question for Nick Sullivan?
