Trendy Summer Hats To Up Your Fashion Statement

Summer hats are a necessity for hair and skin protection. In the yesteryears, the concept of hats was a part of our overall look and overall personality. But it’s not the case these days. These days we have parted ways with the hats. Hats provide protection to not only your face but also your neck and shoulders depending upon how wide your brim is.

Apart from this you can always use a hat when you have a bad hair day or you are in a humid environment and your hair gets all frizzy, instead of washing and styling them, style them up. Do you want to give your summer look a difference that makes it stand out? Go for a hat! It serves the purpose of styling as well as nourishes your personality. Hats allow your face to be clearly visible, so then you don’t have to worry about your hair styling, just tie a ponytail and you are good to go. There is no attire that a hat cannot compliment, so go experiment and look your best.

Making Of A Hat

Around 3200 BC, in Egypt, the first pictorial presentation of a hat had appeared in a tomb painting. It showed a man wearing a straw hat. Many high-class Egyptians used to shave their heads and then cover it with hats to help them stay cool. 

SO HERE IT IS, THE HAT SCHOOL FOR YOU.

A hat consists of four portions – Crown, Crease, Brim and Band

Crown: A crown is the vertical portion of the hat. There is a crease in many of the hats available in the market but it’s not mandatory.

Crease: A crease is a slight inward bend in the crown or at the front. Hats without a crease are available in the market but having a crease in a hat is a classic basic hat feature.

Brim: A brim is that part of the hat that is outwards from the base. Hats can have a wide brim like a derby hat or an upward brim like a bucket hat (more on those below).

Band: A band is a portion where you can customize your hats with ribbons or feathers.

These are the basic parts of a hat. The inner side consists of the inner brim, sweatband and inner liner. Usually, the hat from inside consists of a softer material so that it is easy for you to stay comfortable and happily select a hat for summer travel. Enough about hat education, let’s move on to how and which hat to take along this summer.
