"The few times we&amp;#x27;ve talked hats here at STF, a lot of you have admitted you&amp;#x27;re not quite sure how the heck to wear &amp;#x27;em. Learn three essential lessons for wearing one with style and grace, after the jump. This weekend was the first annual Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic in Los Angeles, and celebrities got into the fancy-dress spirit by wearing all kinds of fun and funky headwear. Whether they nailed the look or not, there were plenty of tips to be taken from their sense of sartorial adventure: #1 Confidence is key: The most important rule when wearing a hat? You have to look like you mean it. Whether you think Mischa Barton is looking ridiculously cool or just plain ridiculous in her flapper-inspired feather number, you must admit that she looks like she&amp;#x27;s having a great time wearing it! A self-assured stance (shoulders back, head up) and a big smile will go a long way to let people know you&amp;#x27;re owning your look.

Check out Delfina Blaquier, wife of polo player Nacho Figueras (is it hot in here!?) and a recent addition to Vanity Fair&amp;#x27;s best dressed list looking totally chic in a twisted chapeau. The fingerless lace gloves and 40s-esque shirtdress give just enough of a nod to a bygone era without looking costumey. #3 Keep the rest of your look simple: If you&amp;#x27;re just getting into the hat game, there&amp;#x27;s no need to do a full-on Isabella Blow impression your first time out of the gate. Take a cue from Rachel Zoe--who has absolutely mastered the art of fancy headwear!--and go neutral with the rest of your outfit. Her flowing nude dress and simplified accessories (a rarity for her) let this sequined topper do the talking. Do any of you dolls wear hats on a regular basis? What are your rules for making sure you look sophisticated, not silly? Would you wear any of these hats? Which one is your favorite? Discuss!
