There are a lot of guys here who worry a lot about what other people will think of their fashion accessories. The same guys who worry that if they buy the wrong car they'll accidentally fall down face-first on a dick?

Sure you can. There's no rule against it. I have a collection of boonie hats that I rotate through. Various camo patterns and one I picked up in the PI. Speaking of the PI (and southeast Asia in general) have you ever considered one of the lamp shade hats? They seem to work pretty good. 
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v632/zack3gpics/s-l1000_zpsj6y4zfnm.jpg I have ball caps, boonie hats and a nice Panama Jack I like to wear while out in the yard, but I also have a woven wicker coolie that's very comfortable. It's light and blocks plenty of sun. |

The only answer is this.
 The lace around the top helps block UV rays, which is what you seek. Its also professional enough to wear to work, yet casual enough for just a Sunday drive. |

I would recommend a Cov-er All outback linen hat.
It's durable and tough, soaks up sweat well, and protects you from the sun. I've worn mine to a carbine course and it holds up well. http://www.cov-ver.com/hats.aspx?sid=39 |

As a lawyer, I assume you wear a suit oftentimes. Here's an example of how a cheese hat looks with dress attire. Think about it. I think you can make it work.

Boonies, Tilleys, or that brazilian thing would all work fine. Men don't give a shit about what other men think.
Of course, if you wanna get ALL the chicks, there's only one hat you want:

My wife bought me this this for when I'm out in the desert playing around, hiking, shooting or working outside. I thought it was dumb and goofy at first but now I love it and never leave home without it and wear it when I'm outside for long periods of time.
I normally wear regular ball caps but this works way better in the sun (especially here in AZ). It's huge too so even on my big ass head it's comfortable. Wife says I look cute in it too.

If you weren't wearing one in the 1960's then just about anything you wear is gonna look a bit odd, unless you're wearing a cowboy hat, which means you're also wearing boots and a heavy belt.
I'll wear the boonie hat if I go hunting or fishing, and a big ass cowboy hat for everything else when I'm not wearing a regular ball cap, but I'm in Texas. People here are starting to get uppity and I've had a couple of people look sideways at the hat. When I was in college (1990's), everybody had a cowboy hat and wearing it every day was commonplace. My ex-wife hated them and I got out of the habit. New wife embraces it, but it's just not an everyday thing for me. |

I don't know about being that far north... There is a style of hat that the coonasses/rednecks wear, kind of like a cowboy hat, but without the brim on the sides. The side brims are kind of rolled up/in. The closest I've seen to what matches it would been an Oz outback type hat. I don't know what it's actually called. Fuck... redneck cowboy hat?? I wear that style of hat. But then, I can pass as a country ass motherfucker. It would look really odd on a city person. -eta the brazillian tarp hat folks posted doesn't look that far off from what I was trying to describe. Just roll both sides of it more...
