Step 1: Bills


Typically, when it comes to hats, there are two common styles: flat-billed hats and curved-billed hats. Flat-billed hats have a straight, stiff brim that gives off a more modern or urban look, while curved-billed hats feature a rounded brim that fits more naturally to the shape of the head and face, often associated with a classic or sporty style
