Honestly, where does one begin with my love of hats. Even before I worked at that hat shop years ago I loved hats. I always felt like they were the perfect accent to any outfit.

It' could also be that i’ve got a pretty big forehead and tried to hide it a lot of times with them. I’m learning to love my forehead now of course but the way I love hats never waivers.

Some things to know about hats:

There are many parts to a hat, but since we are just starting out let’s start with your main three parts:

Pinch: A natural crease that is lengthwise down the crown and "pinched" near the front on both sides. It’s the part of a hat you don’t want to touch as it can severally damage it over time.

Crown: The crown of a hat is the portion that sits on top of the head above the brim. There is a hefty amount of crown styles from center dents to diamond dents. In basic terms the shape atop your hat.

Brim: A hat brim will run along the bottom of the crown. It extends out perpendicular to the hat. Generally, a fedora brim will be about 2 to 3 inches wide however some styles like a wide brim fedora can be as long as 10 inches wide. Brims are usually curled up slightly or flat.

Now that you know the basics you’re pretty much ready to shop. I love a wide brim with a tall crown nowadays or a chic beret for quick day trips out and about. I love a cap on bad hair days and I love a bucket hat for the summer.

There really are so many options.
