Caps Hats Caps - why you need them!!

Recently, I have a new found interests in hats, caps, visors. Though I initially started using then as head covers for protection against the blazing summer sun, now I have somehow found the courage to wear them and pull them off as an accessory along with my clothes.

Hats are a must have mainly because it provides good protection from the sun. The ultra violet rays from the sun penetrate into layers of skin making it dark, dull and wrinkly. Many years of exposure to the suns rays on your skin are quiet harmful and can cause skin cancer, the most dangerous being melanoma. A good hat with a wide brim can block out most of the harmful rays of the sun.

Hats are not only useful in the sun, there are hats and caps that also keep your head warm during winter. 
Apart from hats being useful as protection for the head, they are also great fashion accessories and can change to look of an outfit. In many cases hats complete the look of an outfit.

Many people ,especially woman, shy away from wearing hats because they feel they cannot pull off the hat look and hats will attract too much attention. This is not true. If chosen carefully hats can complement your outfit and look as if it belonged there.

We must always try and pick hats that match the clothes you are wearing in terms of colour and style. If we wear clothes with neutral colors such as black and white, accessories of any colour will go well with them. Where as if you have bright colored clothes, try hats that match the color of the dress or neutral colored hats like black or brown.

The large brimmed straw hats are available in many colors. The usual brown/ cream colored ones are beautiful and go with almost any summer dresses.

 If going out in the sun, do remember to carry a hat. :) However, it is best not to stay in the sun for too long!
