Apparatus for shading a user's neck. In some embodiments, a support device comprises a flexible, generally U-shaped structure with a laterally extending central portion to accommodate attachment of a proximal edge of a neckpiece, and opposing leg portions which extend from the central portion to engage the headwear. In further embodiments, the neckpiece preferably comprises a layer of flexible material with a proximal end supported adjacent a headwear and an opposing distal end configured to be suspended adjacent to a base of the user's neck. A support portion is formed from laterally extending first and second panels which fold together to form a V-shaped channel circumferentially extending in contact against an outermost rearward surface of the headwear. A flap portion extending from the second panel is moveable between a deployed state to cover the user's neck to a retracted state in which the flap portion is gathered into the channel.
