Hats

Do you like hats? How do you shop for them online? Maybe you feel you need to try it on and step in front of a mirror first.

The times I tried on hats in a store I felt I looked better in them than without, but hats seemed to go out of style just when I finished high school and started working. That saved me an expense - ah... but I always felt like I missed out on the fun of hats.

With the royal wedding of Prince William and Kate in May (2011), the news media was abuzz with hats and fascinators. in fact, in my church they put on a ladies high tea and one woman who had a collection of 140+ hats brought them so that all the guests could choose one to wear for the event. Suddenly hats are back!

As soon as I started to look for hats online I quickly learned a few things. Hats covers a wide range of head gear, and they go by many names, including caps, berets, etc. And then I came to the Village Hat Shop. Oh my! I had no idea there there that many types of head gear!

Just look. I've put a mini-store of their hats right here for you to see. Yes, you can buy - simply click on the hat or whatever... and you will be whisked to their site to complete the sale.

We can only do so much with the features we were born with, but when you put a hat or some sort of gear on your head, you add personality and definition to your persona - how people perceive you.

Notice that the VillageHatShop.com site had some excellent pages on how hats are made, how to measure yourself for a good fit, and how to tell what kind would look good on you. (Remember the one string I pluck so often? Read! Research! Shop around with your eyes before you pull out your wallet.

I found some other hat shops online that you may wish to explore; custom-hats.lids.ca allows you to design your own hat (sports cap). headcasehats.com/hatwearing.php in Edmonton, AB Canada has some tips for when it is best to wear a formal hat or fasinator. Apparently they are not worn to functions that start after 6 pm. I didn't know that! Did you?

SmithBiltHats.com - creates hats in Calgary, they hand make hats to order for the movies, and can duplicate something from another era. And EdieHats.com - on Granville Island in Vancouver, is a very trendy, artsy place to shop!
