Become a hat person: 6 reasons it’s chicer than ever to cover your head
Hey. Hi there.
I’m talking to you. Yes, you. The one sitting at your desk on your lunch break, flipping back and forth between a bunch of hats you’re considering buying online and trying to figure out if this is it, if Your Moment has finally come: Your Moment For Hats.
You’ve been flirting with the idea for years. Every summer you gaze longingly at the jaunty boater hats, cute ball caps, and huge, dramatic floppy numbers on display and think “…someday.” Well, friend, I’m here to tell you to that day has come. It’s here! You can do it. And here’s why you should:
1. There’s a style of hat for every person, occasion, and personal preference:
Tiny fascinators. Classic flat brims to rep your favourite sports teams. High-fashion Daft Punk-esque visors. A big ole sun hat. Jaunty fedora or pork pie offerings. Hell, even bucket hats are having a revival at the minute. Hats are happening in just about every style you can imagine. The fashion world is ready, if you are.
2. The sun’s rays are more damaging than ever:
Look like a glamourous ‘50s starlet now so that you never have to look like an aging 50s-ish former starlet. Hats provide incredible sun protection for your face and decolletage, the most burn-prone areas of your body. Combined with a good sunscreen, you’ll feel basically unburn-able.
3. Repeat after me: being a “hat person” is about attitude, not facial structure:
Not all hats are created equal. You might have to shop around until you find the hat that’s right for you, but eventually you will. It’s out there, somewhere. Like a four leafed clover [-printed vintage hat you’re going to stumble upon one day at a yard sale and cherish forever].
4. They make hats that accomodate a top knot now.
Problem solved.
5. Bad hair days are over, if you want it:
Forget dry shampoo, a glamorous or quirky hat covers up last night’s hairspray and bobby pins mess with an effortless “I have it together and DEFINITELY know where my keys are” vibe.
6) The most baller excuse in the world is “Sorry, I couldn’t see you from under my giant hat”:
Summer is almost half over, but you’ve still got all of August and the rest of July to contend with. Are you going to do it bare-headed?? What if you have to enter a fancy church or attend a British wedding? What if you need to whip it off in slow motion to seduce someone via hair flip? How will your swag survive another summer of limp ponytails and burnt noses? You deserve to spend the warm months in a good hat. I believe in you.
