Six Hats to Compliment Your Summer Wardrobe

By Robert Blaine

Your head is the first thing people notice about you. That’s why your headgear is a very important part of establishing your self-image. If you’re wearing a dunce cap, you will not send a very good perception of yourself to those you encounter. Instead, if you rocked a sophisticated, stylish hat, not only would you look good, but you would make a sizzling first impression on anyone you meet, especially the ladies. Here’s a list of some of the coolest, most stylish hats you can wear. Match each with your personality to have a perfect fit.

1. Panama Fedora
This is a cool way to display class, style and status in a formal way. While this classic fedora won’t look too cool on a very casual outfit, on a slick, dressy outfit, it will kill. The Panama Fedora is for the elegant “bad boy”.

2. Stingy Brim Fedora
The Stingy Brim Fedora will definitely spice up your most casual outfits. Throw it on with an open shirt and sneakers and you’ll look like a true player. It will give a bossy, cool impression on your acquaintances. This is another “bad boy” hat, only more casual than the Panama Fedora.

3. Round Brimmed Fedora
Round Brimmed Fedoras will make you look fun and laid-back, like you’re relaxing, enjoying life and chilling out. The Round Brimmed Fedora is not only a statement that you’re a stylish gentleman, but also that you’re an approachable, fun guy.

4. Flat Top
The Flat Top is downright classy. It is one of the few hats that combine the sportiness of a baseball cap with the elegance of a beret.  The flat top is not only a player’s cap, but it’s also a classic sign of nobility.  Remember golfers?

5. Bucket Hat
With this one, you can risk either being an old school break dancer still reminiscing the days before his injury or a corny fisherman. However, if worn properly, the Bucket Hat will make you look like a superstar. This is for the laid-back adventurer, worn best when you have stylish, casual clothes on.

If you’re the “skateboarder” kind of guy, this is the ultimate accessory to looking good. Pull a sleek Skull Cap over your head and you’ll look like a daredevil, a hot shot playboy with reckless style.
