[[File:cit shakugan no shana - Hecate has a nice hat.jpg|frame|link=Shakugan no Shana|''[[Person of Mass Destruction|Clearly]]'' not a hat to be trifled with.]]
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]].
Line 13 ⟶ 12:
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]].
Compare [[Cool Helmet]]; [[Cool Crown]]; [[Costume Porn]]; [[Coat, Hat, Mask]]; [[Fedora of Asskicking]]; [[Cool Mask]]; [[Pimped-Out Dress]]; [[Pimped-Out Cape]]; and [[Nice Shoes]]. Often they make a [[Useless Accessory]], but they sometimes have uses, like making a good [[Improvised Weapon]].
Not to be confused with the [[:Category:Tropes of Hats|Tropes of Hats]], where the "hats" are metaphorical.
