"   1. Putting on a hat is way easier than styling your hair. In fact, between hats and dry shampoo, you may never even have to wash your hair, let alone style it, again. Ok, maybe not never. Once a month, whether it needs it or not. 2. Your bangs still haven&amp;#039;t grown out, so hats are really the only way to keep your hair off your face. Why didn&amp;#039;t you try those clip-on bangs first? WHY!?!?!    Clockwise from the top: Striped Fedora, CATARZI, $67; Black-and-White Fedora, BCBGMAXAZRIA, $38; Black Fedora, FOREVER 21, $15; Natural Fedora With Black Ribbon, BABATON AT ARITZIA, $33 3. Your sunglasses look really cute resting on the brim. Almost too cute. Now you don&amp;#039;t want to take them off of there. Is it weird to wear two pairs of sunglasses at the same time?  4. Wearing a hat makes your look feel more complete. It&amp;#039;s like the bow on top of a present or the salt on the rim of a nice, cold margarita. Oh god, a margarita sounds good right now!    Clockwise from the top: Tropical Bucket Hat, STUSSY, $36; Brown and White Striped Bucket Hat, ERIC JAVITS (AVAILABLE AT BLOOMINGDALE&amp;#039;S), $95; Denim Bucket Hat, MOTEL, $24; Crochet Straw Bucket Hat, URBAN OUTFITTERS, $29 5. You know that really protecting your face from sun damage requires taking a three-pronged approach: sunscreen, sunglasses, and perpetual shade (aka hats). A little paleness is a small price to pay to avoid melasma and early onset crow&amp;#039;s feet, thank you very much. 6. You love the way a wide-brim hat frames your face when you wear it further back on your head, like some sort of boho halo. In photos, you almost feel bad for the non-hatted people around you, or you would if you could even see them. Without hats of their own they all just sort of blend into the background. Poor whoever they are.    Clockwise from the top: Black Wide Brim Hat, SUN &amp;#039;N&amp;#039; SAND, $38; Natural Straw Wide Brim Hat, H&amp;amp;M, $13; Striped Floppy Hat, TOPSHOP, $50 7. Hats are a great way to experiment with prints and embellishments. Not that you&amp;#039;re timid when it comes to those things, some accents just look better in smaller quantities. Besides, keeping all that interest up top helps draw attention to your face, which is never a bad thing. 8. You feel like fascinators have given hats a bad name and you want to do your part to redeem them as the turly wonderful, outfit-making accessories they really are. It was that Royal wedding that did it. Non-ridiculous hats have been fighting their way back ever since.    Clockwise from the top: Paint Splattered Cap, KATE SPADE SATURDAY, $35; Striped Palm Tree Print Fitted Hat, KENZO, $70; Eyelet Baseball Cap, J.CREW, $40; Blue Tropical Print Snapback, NEFF, $28; Pink &amp;quot;New York&amp;quot; Snapback, RIVER ISLAND, $30 9. You want to stand out. Just because you don&amp;#039;t want to wear a Dr. Seuss-ian fascinator on your forehead, doesn&amp;#039;t mean you want to blend in.  10. Dressing should be fun and hats are totally fun. So, yeah, they can be a little costume-y, but that&amp;#039;s what makes them so awesome! A good hat can completely transform your outfit and besides, &amp;quot;basic&amp;quot; never really suited you anyway.
