Combat bad messy hair with a hat

Hats are an easy and stylish way to cover up if you’re having a bad hair day or if you have skipped washing your hair for a few days.

Here are some tips on how to choose a hat:

The leather banded floppy hat is a must to have in your closet. No matter the hairstyle, everyone is able to pull this look off. A huge plus is that a hat offers many options to add a touch of style to your outfit. Find one that compliments your hair color and you will be set during every season.

A beanie is the perfect go-to when you want to stay warm but stylish. Beanies allow you to dress up any outfit by adding a hint of color. It’s a good hat for when you want to look put together even when you might not always feel like it.

If you’re feeling a little adventurous this spring break, try a fedora. A slightly larger fedora will not only accent your outfit, but it will keep the sun out of your eyes.

Last but not least, let’s not forget about baseball hats. These hats are always a simple and easy solution to make your outfit look sporty. When you want to throw your hair up and just wear a sweatshirt to class, this would be your best bet.

Hats aren’t for everyone, so another option is to try a bandana or a sock bun. These are very simple hairstyles that can fix any bad hair day.
