white is the new dumb.

Having worked at a hat store for over year, I have learned to appreciate the significance that a hat can have on a person's appearance, and at the same time, the volumes it can speak about a personality. As a matter of fact, me and a few of my friends have actually created and tested a full blown "hat theory", that however is a story for another time.

The matter at hand is the over use of white hats. Might seem minor, but next time you are in a bar or a club, take a look around at the sheer number of guys wearing bright, white hats. Generally these hats are accompanied by things like polo shirts and beaded necklaces. My advice to you, obviously, if you own a white hat, put it away, if you are planning on buying one, don't.

Like beaded necklaces, obnoxiously striped polo shirts, faded jeans and other various overused examples of "current style", the white hat in and of itself is not a bad thing, but over the last few months they are EVERYWHERE, and yet- I guess at the same time, we should be grateful.

Why should we be grateful? Because now we don't need to be caught up in a conversation with some dude-guy with all the intuitions of a fencepost before we realize hes a chud. So in the spirit of a social rulebook, no white hats, unless of course you ARE a chud, in which case, break out the bleach.

Rule # 239 - No white hats in bars.

Things I've learned this semester: a white hat + a popped collar + $80 ripped jeans = a total "That Guy".

What about green "Kiss me, I'm Irish" hats?
