If only someone would invent one

We’ve solved this problem with technology, you no longer have to choose between shade and looking cool.
Watch them use it sideways.
That's the Napoleon.. All the kids with Sherlocks are doing it.
Which way is the cool way though? You want the designer in front or back? I'm going to say it's situation dependent. Out by yourself? Pattern back would be cooler. But you wanna put your best front forward for like a job interview.
Holy shit, kicking it 2000's style with the memes. Bringing me right back to i-am-bored.com
Me clicking the link and trying to look around
Oof, I didn't realize it had gone offline 😢
"This rug really pulls the room together".
Nostalgia moment. Grew up with this show. Carlton was the best. :)
Oh my god I forgot that site existed.
It got me through middle school
For me it was https://theuselessweb.com/
I’ll throw pointlesssites.com in the ring.
https://lemmy.world/c/antiquememesroadshow is over there my friend :D
I was out hiking a couple years ago when I suddenly realised that I had become the guy with shades and a backwards cap. It's practical: I want to prevent a sunburn in my neck (the backwards cap) and also not have the sun in my eyes (shades). I spent some time coming to terms with it, but now that's how I'm regularly equipped in harsh sun in the mountains. It's simply the optimal solution to sun protection while hiking (I've tried wide-brimmed hats, but they get caught in the wind too easily in my experience).
You could go for something like this, just without the face flap bit. They look kinda goofy but work pretty well
These are also pretty good at shielding you from biting insects and fascist police state spy cameras.
My goto in a tatch straw hat and a wide-brimmed bucket hat with an elastic tightener and chin strap.
My solution is much more simple. I just never go outside.
When i do it, the cap's to keep my hair in check and the sunglasses are superior to the brim, which i don't like how it also obstructs the top of my vision.
Nowadays though i just use a hair tie
Pfft. Turtleneck. Or more realistically, one of them “buff” things. Basically turns whatever you’re wearing into a turtleneck.
Hats are hot and stuffy, I’ve found. I carry an umbrella as a parasol unless I’m biking or need both hands. Then it’s the Buff.
Also, a backwards hat to protect from the sun realistically offers dubious protection unless you are always walking directly away from the sun.
I use a buff to keep warm in winter, couldn't imagine wearing one in summer!
a backwards hat to protect from the sun realistically offers dubious protection unless you are always walking directly away from the sun.
I typically flip it depending on sun direction. I've found the neck to be most critical though, I don't seem to burn as easily on the sides/front.
I want a modern Sherlock Holmes style hat that's just a baseball cap with 2 brims.
It would cut into the bro bro factor
I was going to try to defend these guys and say that a sunburned neck suuuucks, but then I remembered where the sun needs to be in order for you to desperately need the bill to shade your eyes...
At some point the meaning of the baseball cap worn backwards flipped from “streetwise hepcat who can probably breakdance and/or scratch and is handy with a spraycan” to “basic macho dude”
It's so you can look cool and still see square.
This is dad humour
2012 called! They want their meme back
2012? Mf, this is like 90s joke on a 2004 template.
Don't you know? Nobody answers their phone, grandpa. If it's important, they will send a message.
