    Hats have been in the world since at least 3000 BC, as an image of a man wearing a hat of straw was discovered in a mural from that time. Since then, hats have served some incredibly diverse purposes, from simple protective wear to help those stuck out in the rain, cold, or hot sun, to indicating status and rank. Who doesn’t recognise a crown as the ultimate mark of royalty? Hats have undergone an immense amount of changes, with varieties appearing all over the world in every possible culture.

    Whether for the soldier protecting his skull from incoming damage, the lieutenant making sure that his troops know where to look for direction, or the dapper gentleman in the Top Hat on his way to the opera, everyone has a love and use for hats. Hat Day is the best time for you to break out your favourite headwear, and use them to make a huge impression.

    This is my kind of day. I've found that my van doesn't drive as well if I'm bot behatted.

    I don't normally do hats. I think I get too precious about my hair - probably because I still have some Also, I'm a walking and sleeping radiator so I get too hot with a hat on THOUGH I did wear a hat once this year [​IMG]

  9. Due to my diminishing hair line, I also wear a hat ...baseball cap for work, beanie at home n in garage and flat cap when I go out!!
    Although thinking about it I’ve always worn a baseball cap for work so that’s probably why I’m going bald??!!

    Much fun to be had in the hat department of large department stores!
    I do love a hat, but I fear the jury may still be out on whether anything other than a flat cap actually suits me! Do I care? Not a jot :)
