brown snakes and floppy hats

my housemate is dating a rugby boy who also happens to be one of the boy's best friends, every year they have a ladies day and as we are going this year I am racking my brains to figure out what I should wear. Their team is called the Brown Snakes and we must therefore dress in brown.

hence the dilemma... though when we moved this weekend I did find an old floppy brown felt hat and that got me thinking....
