All the Hats I Wear and Love

June 21, 2024

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!

  1. H&M Khaki Green/Global Cotton Cap $8
  2. Summersalt Glow The Going Places Baseball Hat $21 On sale with code SPF30! Sold out last year but they brought it back!
  3. Madewell Alabaster Broken-In Baseball Cap $30 I promise, I'm on my way!!

  5. Evereve Moss Green NY Baseball Hat $30
  6. White Los Angeles Dodgers Cap $35 Wore this one last weekend for all my Father's Day prep and errands. Pretty sure it made me more productive.

  1. As long as you're not one of those "girlies" that leaves the sticker on the underside of the hat. Tacky.
