I say get yourself a boater and wear that for the summer. That will really freak them out.
No one can insult you unless you first give them the power to do so and accept what they say as an insult.
Better to take what they say and look at it through the lens of compassion. They don't get it and how sad for them. Secondly, why would anyone make a comment about your hat unless they were feeling threatened by it? You have style, they don't. You have confidence, they don't. You have a cool hat and they don't. The best response is just a knowing look (under the brim of your cool hat!) and a small, wry smile. Pitty the hatless.
Enjoy your hats. Know that all leaders get flak once in a while. It is the price we pay to lead.
