Riverina brim trim?

Hat for business casual/weekend?
Another newbie question... I'm looking to pick up felt hats to add to my very beginner collection. I'm comfortable in what I want for when I wear a suit. However, I primarily wear business casual. So what type/style of hat typically looks better with business casual and some weekend... -

When to put away Panama Hat
So, I started my hat journey this year by purchasing a less expensive Panama Hat to use when golfing. It quickly expanded its use despite my wife saying I look "old fashioned", etc. I am of course, ignoring her comments and will soon be adding additional hats. Anyway, I live in Houston...
