Get your funky hat on
Hat Day is your time to really dig in deep and find out what all hats have to offer.
Hang on to your hat, because today (15 January) is National Hat Day.
Get creative today and share in the joy of wearing a hat for National Hat Day. Hats have been in the world since before 3000 BC (before Christ). An image of a man wearing a hat made of straw was discovered in an ancient art work and since then, hats have served some incredibly diverse purposes, from being worn for protection to making a fashion statement. Originally hats were worn to protect people from the sun, sudden rainfall and in some cases, snow.
Who doesn’t recognise a crown as the ultimate mark of royalty? Hats come in many varieties, shapes, sizes and colours. In some cultures, only men are allowed to wear a hat. Some people will say its only polite to take off your hat in church or when praying.
