Kyle, I, too, have several bonnets. The only diced bonnet I have is navy with the red and white dicing. I almost never wear it for the reasons you mentioned.

I never really liked diced bonnets, but after seeing Jock's I am rethinking that for fawn and lovat colors you mentioned. I don't thin you can go wrong by leving off the dicing, but I have decided the dicing is OK in the colors mentioned.

If I were you, I try some on before committing to three expensive bonnets.

Photos are expected.
