In the past, I’ve felt self-conscious when putting a hat on, like it “wasn’t me” or something. But I realized that the more you wear a hat, the more you like it on yourself. (Plus, they’re great for day-four hair, am I right?!) I’m really into brimmed hats these days because they keep the sun out of your eyes — I love a hat when I go for my Sunday walks with Cricket or for a day at the beach or by the pool. In fact, I would rather wear a hat than sunglasses!

Especially now that plain tees are so in, hats are also just a great way to accessorize. My friend from Idaho just got a really stylish baseball cap with NY on it. I told her I always wanted to wear one, and I have no connection to New York. But after talking with her, I realized that it’s like how people wear Ivy League collegiate sweatshirts whether they went there or not — it’s just a look. It freed me up, and I want to give you the same permission: You can wear whatever hat you want just because you like it!

I recently bought a hat from Gigi Pip as a gift for my sister Andi. When you open the packaging, the box reads: “for the women who wear many hats.” I just love that, because we all have so many roles we play every day. So here’s to wearing all the hats!
