Not dissuading the hat thing, but if you want to change things up, or if hats are too warm for summer, look into some head coverings, and some sites have ways to tie scarves very pretty.
I try to use prints and colors so it looks less religious and more like a fashion statement. My reasons are to keep my hair out of my face (which bothers me a lot) and yes, semi religious too. Occassionally. And I should do that again because I'm feeling disconnected from my spiritual side. It helps me reconnect.

http://www.headcoverings-by-devorah.com/home.html has different styles.
That second link is specifically for those who cover AND have trouble with coverings staying on because of hair loss/thinning hair.
I also picked up a bandana at the local fair trade store, there are some fun batik sort of things there: http://globalmamas.org/Category/48-bandanas-scarves.aspx# was the source.
