Walking hats like the Kangol Trilby are just that -- hats that walk. By themselves. Okay, that's not even true. Walking hats like The Jonathan Richard Original Irish Walker in tweed, for example, actually got their start in the British Isles, where shepherds and other great walkers sought sun protection as well as cover from inclement weather. The Mourne Walker in natural linen is nicely accented with a small feather and comfortably lined in silk -- absolutely the perfect hat for a good weather stroll. Wigens of Sweden offers up The Gustavas; it's a very casual 100% cotton patchwork rex and it's made for goofing around in. Personally, I bought several.

If you've been walking around bareheaded, we're all embarrassed for you but it's not too late. The Hayward might be just the hat to start out in. Not only is this a fashionable linen rex from Christys' of London with its smooth suede band, it's also comfort-enhanced with mesh sides. Basically, a cool hat for a cool guy every way you look at it. Try it out.
Sidenote: there are some men who can wear every one of these hats well, of course. But usually not all at once.
