Hey everyone, I'm from Italy
I was promoting an hat on my website and I can't figure it out how to say "This hat will ____ everyone's attention while walking down the street".
Is it draw? Attract?
Or maybe is it better to say "will cath everyone's eye"? Or "will turn heads"?
I hope you understand what I mean
I'm going crazy :shock:

If it's really attention getting, I'd go with "turn heads", but any of your examples would work.

Is it "draw"? What about "attract"?
[STRIKE]Or[/STRIKE] Maybe [STRIKE]is it[/STRIKE] it is better to say "will catch everyone's eye" no question mark here or "will turn heads".

Welcome to the forum. :hi:

Please note my corrections above. Remember to end every sentence with an appropriate punctuation mark. Your sentence that started "Or maybe" (note that I removed "Or" as it's not right to start a sentence that way) was not a question so it should have ended with a full stop. If you wanted to use "Is it" rather than "it is", you should have started with those two words, not "[Or] maybe".

Always write complete sentences and mark out words you are asking us about or suggesting in some way. I have enclosed them in quotation marks. You can use italics or bold.

Please note my corrections above. You need to work on your closing punctuation. You needed a full stop at the end of sentences 1 and 3, as shown.

Note that in future there is no need to write a new post to thank anyone. Simply click on the "Thank" button that you can find in the bottom left-hand corner of any response.

Perhaps:

If you wear this hat you will attract admiring glances.

I would forget about the "walking down the street" thing.
