My Favorite Accessory Is A Hat

There's something about wearing a hat that makes me feel confident.

My Favorite Accessory Is A Hat
Kathryn DeBois

There's something nice about wearing a baseball cap or a hat in general. It's stylish, it's sporty, you can hide bad hair days, they're comfortable, they're practical and the list goes on about all of the reasons why it's the best accessory. These reasons and more are why I love wearing baseball caps or hats in general.

Ever since I could remember, I've loved wearing hats. I loved how they fit on my head, provided warmth on cold days, and how they provided shade for me. I don't know why, but I found that to be so cool growing up. Baseball caps are practical because they provide shade on sunny days. Hats that are like beanies are practical because they provide warmth on really cold days in the winter.

Growing up, I even wanted to become a hat fanatic. My favorite store in the mall would be the store Lids, and I would go in the store look for hours on end for the perfect hat. I wouldn't settle for any less and I eventually wanted to have a huge collection of hats. As of right now, I have about 9 hats and counting, so that collection is coming along.

Today, I wear hats all of the time. I have my 2 beanies that I wear a lot during the winter months, and then I have my baseball caps that I wear when my ears aren't freezing off.

I just feel confident in a hat. I feel that I can take on the world while wearing one. I don't know why, but to me hats have this magical power that inserts confidence into my brain. It's kind of dumb and silly, but it makes sense to me.

Whenever I have a long day, my go-to outfit is leggings, a comfortable t-shirt, and a hat. In fact last semester, I wore that outfit every Monday because I had classes till 9 pm. Maybe I feel my best in a hat it's because when I wear a hat I am not dressed to impressed and I am wearing comfier clothing, so I associate that feeling of comfort from the clothes to the hat. I don't know.

Also, I always wear a baseball cap when I take an exam. I feel that I keep in the knowledge in my brain so when I first look at the test the knowledge that I have doesn't magically vanish from it. That's more of a superstitious thing, but it works most of the time for me.

Point is, I wear hats not just to cover up a bad hair day. I wear hats because I love them and they're my favorite accessory and article of clothing. I have more hats than I have pairs of shoes and I am totally okay with that because I'd wear my beat-up converse and baseball cap any day over dressing up to go to a fancy event.

I know I might be the only girl who feels this way, but who cares at this point. What matters is that I am confident in my own skin and I feel the most that way when I wear a hat.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
