Can adults wear kids hats?

brilliantviewpoint

So, this is kind of funny. When I was in Ireland a few years ago. I was looking at their woolen hats. They had all kinds, but the one I fell in love one was this pink one with the sheep.

I thought, “Is this a kids hat??

I mean, it fit me, but was it too childish for an older adult to wear?

Winter has started.

I went to put this hat on the other day. I love it, but I keep thinking, “Is this too youthful for an older adult?”

Keep in mind, I have an Italian mother. She would say, “We wear gym shoes to play tennis, NOT to go to town. We wear flip flops at the beach, NOT to dinner… On and on with fashion do’s and don’ts.”

If I wear it, maybe I could be Auntie Mame. LOL Remember that movie? Be a little eccentric about it.

I always loved Diane Keaton for having a quirky style, owning it and not caring what “others” thought!

So…Help me out. Should I, or shouldn’t I, wear this hat? Hint I’m older than 55.

  1. I love when I see others wearing quirky, eccentric, and fun outfits or accessories, especially when they own it and look confident and joyful in the outfit choice. I say go for it!! You only live once.

    1. Big HUGS to you. YES, I enjoy seeing people who look “out of the ordinary too.” It’s joyful and funny. I once stopped a lady in Seattle, because she had white hair, looked beautiful and was wearing this bright yellow rain coat that we see Paddington Bear wear. It was just so amusing! I felt the same, good for her to “own this cute look!”

  4. Go for it – wear the hat as it is so pretty and colourful. The other day, on a school run, I saw a mum wearing one of those knitted hats that look like animal heads with long dangling mittens attached that are made to look like paws. Thanks for sharing, and have a good day :)Aiva xx

  6. Of course you should wear it! I am not a fashion expert, of course: my favourite winter hat has two white googly eyes on it (sort of crossed eyes, of course.) And I do not dye my hair and I wear it longer than shoulder length – and I am well past 70 years old. To me, fashion is whatever is clean that day…

  10. I say go for it! If there is a rule about this, it would be that while ladies older than 55 can make a hat like this work, the only men who can pull it off are those who have someone to wipe their slobber for them. 🙂

      2. I have tried that, but sometimes it’s sewn on so tight it leaves a hole! I like a fleece lined hat when I walk, so two layers, and that’s hard to find too, in a nice color.
