What's the deal with hats nowadays, right? There are just so many different types to choose from, and it can be super confusing. The idea for this article came from a longstanding fan of my writing on here, so I'd like to thank them for their suggestion.

This is a list of 7 hats based on their ability to cover your head and subsequent body in no particular order.

1. A beret

These things suck for covering your body. Don't let any fancy French person tell you they're effective at keeping you dry. You will get rained on.

2. A classic baseball cap

Disclaimer: I don't support this guy, but he makes a pretty mediocre at best baseball cap. Very versatile. Will keep your face generally dry and shaded. Not saying too much for the rest of your body though.

3. A graduation cap

These things are suh cool bruh. Plus it shows off the fact that you're most likely in an enormous amount of student debt. Not very effective for deterring the sun's rays, but mediocre for keeping the top of your head dry. Bonus point for the tassel because it's fun to play with.

4. A sombrero

Is this racist? Nah. Cultural appropriation? Almost certainly. Sombreros are super effective at keeping water and sun off your face. They also provide a decent amount of protection for the rest of your body.

5. A propeller hat

These things look baller as hell. If you confidently strut around in a propeller hat, people will just walk up and ask you to be their friend. Terrible at keeping rain off, as well as sunlight, but that's the trade off for looking the best ever.

6. An animal hat

Awesome. At literally everything. On to the next one...

7. A bucket hat

If you wear a bucket hat you fall into one or more of the following categories: 1. rapper 2. avid drug user or 3. frat boy at the beach. That aside, there's a pretty good chance it keeps your head and face generally dry.
