It’s that time of the year again—hats have officially transitioned from a fashion statement to a weapon in the war against UV rays. But do they really offer much in the way of protection from the sun’s damaging effects?
The hat is arguably the most potent accessory in a well-dressed man’s arsenal – it can make a persuasive or a regrettable impression. So it’s important to get it right; though the hat covers a man’s head it reveals his character. It should be worn with confidence. Wear it reluctantly or ambivalently and there’s the danger that the hat will wear you. But don’t be timid. The dressing landscape has evolved and there’s nothing to fear about striking out in the world in a hat that suits you.
Wear it in, wear it often and wear it until people associate you with it. Remember: wear something once and it’s novel, the second time it’s familiar, the third time it’s your signature. Also consider your proportions. It won’t surprise you that big hats look better on big heads. As a devoted hat wearer I prefer large, straight brims – they frame the face in a flattering way, drawing focus to the eyes.
