National Hat Day
Make a huge impression by wearing your favourite headwear on #NationalHatDay
15 January is National Hat Day, the perfect opportunity to express to the world who you are by sporting your favourite head wear.
Hats enable the person wearing it to be absolutely anything. From protecting your head form the cold or heat of the day to bringing some style to an outfit, hats are truly amazing.
Hats have been in the world since at least 3 000 BC, which was proved by the discovery of an image of a man wearing a straw hat on a mural dating back to that time. Since then, hats have served some incredibly diverse purposes – from simple protective wear to helping those stuck in the rain, cold or hot sun. Hats also indicate rank and status, and are recognised as an ultimate mark of royalty. Hats have undergone an immense amount of changes with varieties appearing all over the world in every possible culture.
To celebrate today, take out your favourite headwear and use it to make a huge impression. You can also use the opportunity to find out about the numerous uses hats have to offer. Some of the most popular hats these days are animal-shaped hats with long arms dangling down to keep your ears warm or secure it to your head, or just to look adorable.
Baseball caps display far more than just team affiliation. They can share a message of spirituality, fandom for a particular franchise or even display your favourite sport.
Get creative today and celebrate the diverse history of hats. Use #NationalHatDay to post on social media.
