Hats, Ranked By How Much I Enjoy Seeing People Wearing Them

Untitled

  1. Church Lady, in Church Crowns-style hat. Bonus points if the hat is part of a monochrome ensemble, where the hat was clearly decided upon FIRST.
  2. Old dude wearing a Kangol. Extra points if it’s with a suit and tie.
  3. Unironic Stetson, when paired with a belt buckle that was achieved through some display of testosterone.
  4. Smiling baby in sun hat. (Tied with cranky baby trying to pull sun hat off and throw it out of the stroller.)
  5. Tween or teen in ironic-cute animal, cartoon, or cartoon-animal knit cap. Earflaps optional, but appreciated.
  6. Full-on vintage perch hat with veil.
  7. Queen Elizabeth II’s hats. All of them. But this one in particular.
  8. Dude in a porkpie hat who knows it’s faintly ridiculous, but is okay with wearing it anyway. [NB: this set should include all wearers of porkpie hats]
  9. Doctor Who in a fez.
  10. Everyone, in propeller beanies.
