What is National Hat Day?
On National Hat Day, hang on to your hats and celebrate in style. On January 15th, the yearly event, whether you're a fan of fedora, cap, cloche, derby, or sunhat, is celebrated. Dig out your ceremonial best and tell the tale behind it. Wear your warmest tuque, stocking cap, beanie, and beanie, and then share the name you give it. There are so many hats, styles, and names we give them. We should certainly wear a hat a day and never get through them all.
We wear hats for a variety of reasons. Many hats shield us from elements or harm. Some were worn for ceremonial or religious reasons. Some hats make us look good or cover up what we don't like or not. We've given our hats a lot of meaning over the centuries.
- Hats indicated social status in the Middle Ages
- Hats can denote one's nationality, branch of service, rank, and/or regiment in the military
