To show that you mean [[Serious Business|business]], it's important to have ''style''. Enter: the ''nice hat''. It may actually have utility -- even [[Hat of Power|conveying special powers]] -- but more often than not [[Rule of Cool|it just looks cool]], or [[You Can Leave Your Hat On|even sexy]]. |
|||
A discerning hero/villain just can't be seen without their Nice Hat! [[Hat Damage|Harming the nice hat]] may be akin to [[Kick the Dog|kicking the dog]], with [[Berserk Button|disastrous results]]. |

Fedoras are the most common [[Nice Hat]], probably because they inherently invoke 1920s-era [[Gangsterland]] and [[Film Noir]] we all know and love. Wizards have [[Robe and Wizard Hat|their own style]] to worry about. [[Commissar Cap]] is also a common enough version of this to have its own sub trope. The crowns of the ancient Egyptian pharaohs (since [[Awesome Moment of Crowning|crowns]] are always cool) make this [[Older Than Dirt]]. In fact, the [[Cool Crown]] as [[Requisite Royal Regalia]] always overlaps with this trope. |
|||
One reason that hats are so common in [[Action Adventure Tropes|Action/Adventure]] films and series is that they can obscure the face of the character so the viewer can't tell when the hero is being played by a stunt double. |
|||
Despite the name, this doesn't just cover hats, but most kinds of headgear, as long as [[Rule of Cool|it's cool]]. Particularly memorable hats may end up as part of a [[Memetic Outfit]]. |
|||
Often they make a [[Useless Accessory]], but they sometimes have uses, like making a good [[Improvised Weapon]]. |
