As someone that has just converted to aero, i would be keen to know too! For the short drives ive done so far its been a baseball cap held on with ear defenders, a buff (Which gets blown down my face as i go and requires constant adjustment) and ballistic glasses.
Would be great to hear other peoples solutions!

if you run a normal baseball cap its worth adding a leash to them around the cage otherwise you will find its all to easy for them to make a successful bid for freedom.....
or add a chin strap if your nifty witha sewing machine
"Alpacas of Montana" extreme weather hat, cant guarantee it Aero but its the only one that stays snug witha screen. - My kids've disowned me though! :)
This is my aero helmet - a lightweight R.E.D snowboard / skateboard lid that offers protection from the stones and other debris, but does not feel heavy, or get too hot. The helmet has optional ear pads that help reduce wind noise. Oakley Flightdeck goggles with prescription inserts - these cope exceptionally well with the low sun in early morning and evening drives.
Regular baseball cap for me with a lanyard attaching it to the seat, I always use my intercom ear defenders in the car (Peltor Optime 2's with Autocom speakers fitted), they prevent the baseball cap from coming off.
As an aside I suspect I've got a "RiF" aeroscreen which is slightly taller than the standard aero which I suspect probably helps.
For cold weather I'll typically add a buff, #4 you may need to experiment with different ways of wearing the buff, there's a great video on their website showing lots of options. If its cold I tend to go with what they call "driving Miss Daisy", it looks a bit silly but definitely keeps you warm.
I always use a couple of buffs to cover my lower face and my ballistic googles. Having the buff at double thickness definitely helps with any impact from small stones.
I use a beanie unless the speed is rising and then i take it off before it blows off. Some of our lads use a buff as a head covering similar to a pirate and that seems to do the trick
Some thoughts from 2018 and 2020:

I use a Windproof from Extremities, mine is no longer listed but very similar to this, great forehead protection from rain too !!

With ballistic glasses on elastic strap over the top never had any issues with either moving at 'pace'........

Bollé ballistic googles/sunglasses for me and a beanie if it's a bit chilly etc...
Bolter, bolter, full power...
