That Hat Girl

James shares his secrets for standing out in a crowd.

By James Aguiar

It's always so painful when you're rooting for someone to go for it all. I could tell that Cara really wanted the gunmetal shoes I enticed her with so when the spelling bee tripped her up I was crushed! (I'm sure she was as well!) This was the second time in She Got Game's history that challenge has done someone in.

What made me really happy was the hat she won! Now lets face it...not everyone has a "hat face." The trick is to find the shape that works for you. This classic cloche style is perfect for almost everyone. It adds that instant touch of old world glamour. Think about all the goddesses of the silver screen. Marlene Dietrich, Ingrid Bergman and Greta Garbo all helped to make this style famous in the 1930s.

Flash forward to 2008: It's become a more casual and hip statement. I like it for a relaxed brunch or an evening at the movies. Just think you don't even have to worry about doing your hair!! Wearing a hat also takes confidence. I will let you in on a little secret. A very good friend of mine who is often photographed by the fashion press told me that if you want your picture taken....wear a hat! Everyone wants to stand out in a crowd and what better way by just topping your look off with the perfect chapeau (while adding a little mystery and glamour along the way)?
