How Does Lids 101 Series: Types of Hats & Silhouettes Work?

Hats come in many shapes and sizes, just like your toys!

A hat is something you wear on your head, like a cap or a crown. It can cover part of your head, or all of it! Think about the hats you see on your favorite characters in cartoons or on people at a party.

Now imagine you're looking at a hat from the side, that's its silhouette. It’s like taking a photo of the hat from one angle, so you can see how tall it is and how wide it is. Some hats are short and round, like a ball, while others are tall and pointy, like a cone.

There are many types of hats, each with its own silhouette:

• A baseball cap is short and sits low on your head.
• A top hat is tall and pointy, like the hat a magician might wear (but not magic, just fancy!).
• A beret is round and sits right on top of your head.

Each kind of hat has its own look, so you can pick one that matches how you feel!
