" Dont's " for wearing a hat !

1. Don't wear a hat that's too big!

Big hats may be the hottest look in fashion but that doesn't mean that just any size will do: there is such a thing as having a hat that's just entirely too big, like Donna Karan's.

While head-to-toe black can work with a big hat, almost every other color looks like too much of a good thing when you add a matching hat. If you like a tonal look, try mixing different hues of the same color together, like different shades of brown (chocolate, taupe and cream
