      The hat is back. Not with a bang or a grandiose flourish, but with a growing murmur as it gathers a dedicated following. It’s cropping up more and more frequently: from weddings and walks, to festivals, holidays and quick nips to the shops, people are rediscovering the trilby and the turban, the pillbox and the pork pie. It’s a quietly quirky fashion revolution.

      Do you want to know a secret? The hat never left. While it’s been fading from common use over the past few decades, every now and then someone rediscovers it. Look at Kate Middleton, Cara Delevingne, Justin Timberlake and Pharrell Williams: all lauded for their pioneering hattitude, and all inspiring more and more people to don a hat.

      This book is an ode to you – to the person who sees the power of a good hat, whether they wear one or not. If you’re already a hat enthusiast, delve into these pages for ideas to further refine your unique look. If you’re afflicted by The Fear, believing that hats don’t suit you, ask yourself why that is – it’s possible that you simply haven’t found the right one yet.

      Catwalking some of the best, most versatile hats around, this book offers advice on how and when to wear them, what with and where to, and lists a variety of shops to buy them from. It suggests which hats suit different face shapes and head sizes, and gives tips and tricks for making the most of each hat. It provides stories from the history of different hats (you might be surprised by some), and will point you in the direction of becoming the hat-wearer you were always born to be.

      Wearing a hat doesn’t actually take anything more than confidence, but understanding the true magic of hats – and how they can transform the wearer into a mysterious stranger – can’t always be learnt alone. Using this book will help you uncover their secrets, master them and work out how to wear hats every day.
