A question of hats.

So, I am developing a case of really bad alopecia. Until I get to the point where I am comfortable completely bald, I would like to start wearing hats more. Problem is, I hate hate hate ballcaps and while I like my fedora, I do feel it is pretty out of style to the point that I look awkward in it.
What are good hats to look for? Is this basically a fashion question that I should take to the appropriate thread? (I think it is in D&D.)

failing all else, no one gets in your face if you're wearing an ushanka.
Well, they certainly make you look cunning.
This is likely my ultimate goal, but as I said, I'm not quite comfortable with baldness, yet. Especially since I am pretty sure I will not have a "shiny" head. Likely, I will have what many on that site have, which is large dark areas with many smooth areas inter mixed.
That said, it is definitely an option I am considering.
Don't get me wrong. It is not necessarily the look of a shaved head I dislike, there are a ton of considerations for me.
If that's the case and you have a light complexion you could consider bleaching your hair and buzzing it short to reduce the contrast.
I second flat caps. Also toques if you're in an area that gets cold.
also, you should strongly consider beardhat the father of all hats.
Amusingly, I just turned 30 this year. So, not sure beanies will really work for me.
Not sure what a beardhat is.
I hadn't heard of beardhats before, either. I have to say, I like the style.
Farout Foolio - Could you post a link to those FF hats?
You'll have to request the hats specifically. Pretty much everything except the lumas is done by request.
She'll do anything!
I have a black fedora. People say I look like John Popper.
So it's getting upgrade to a cowboy hat.
There are alot of CS and Engineering students at my school who think they look like hot shit wearing a t-shirt, trenchcoat, jeans and a fedora (the fedora never looks good). It's like wearing wingtips and ripped jeans. I always avoid mixing formal and casual clothing in this way.
Don't wear a cowboy hat. If you are not actually a farmer, rancher or ranch hand you will look like another fucking city boy tool.
Seriously, you will be noticeable and people who actually grew up in the country and around farms will laugh at you. The same goes for dusters, unless you are Neo.
People will know you're balding, it just matters if you're hiding it or if you're just trying to look good. On top of that hats are situational toward your clothes.
shaving, as mentioned before, is a solid option.
This is not necessarily true if you are in certain areas of the South.
We ain't got none of them fancy _cities_.
Atlanta, not so much.
The flat cap is also acceptable with a sweater, or a pea coat or similar jacket. Wear it with a t-shirt and you will be labeled as a hipster and stoned to death in the street.
added: I think the question was whether Nashville and Atlanta qualify as fancy cities, not whether you will find anyone wearing a cowboy hat there. No one does the stetson in Atlanta. Ditto Savanah.
But not as awesome as my beard.
Those without tend to be envious.
*strokes*
I would advice not getting a camo one unless you've actually served, though.

Scroll down.
What the heck? I turn 30 and I have to have a cold skull?
I don't agree with any age limit on beanies.
He's not even bald.
Dammit, I forgot Maddox is where I should go to for all my life decisions. I actually used Orbitz earlier in the year and didn't get dicked over. What was I thinking?!

Beanies are perfectly acceptable in 30+ (during weather that warrants them only), they are simply not cool. They are just hats.
It's a derby. Slight upgrade from baseball hat/fisherman hat, not as quite as formal as a fedora. The comment I get most often other than "nice hat" is "it looks like you belong in a band". Not having a wide brim is a plus.
Of course, it's still pretty anachronistic and probably impossibly unfashionable except amongst beard-wearing nerd types, but it's a thought.

That's actually a chullo. Get your hats straight.
They are pretty fashionable.

Actually, anyone know where I can get one? My hat size is a little on the large size.
It's for that mid 20th century look, anywhere from the 1930's to 60's
I have one and girls love that hat. They always come pull on it..
