The Mad Hatter

For those who like to leave their hat on. A tribute to the maddest hatters from the annals of history, modern day, or just somebody on the street wearing a hat, looking nice.

1. Hats are really ARTY.

Whadda ya know, hats just don't look good a-top of peoples' heads, they also look nice in paintings too.


L'absinthe by Degas: I really liked the look of these two as a couple, dressed up in their best hats for a booze up down the local.

Nude in a straw hat by Renoir: this cheeky number could well have been the inspiration for Randy Newman's smash hit, "You can leave your hat on."

Panama Hat (left), Hat on a chair(right) by David Hockney: Both these pictures by Hockney prove that a hat just chilling on a chair, doing nothing much, can still be interesting to look at.
