I’m used to boys throwing a ball cap over their sloppy hairdos (or as my friend likes to say, ‘nappy hair’). But why not push it to the next level and look like you actually put in effort, by picking a more edgy, character-enhancing hat? Paperboy, fedoras, berets, toques, whatever – show me you tried.

Big It Up has been making waves for some odd years now, a Toronto-based hat company which has a large product selection, and is expanding into the traditional retail settings with a booth set up at Yorkdale Mall now. Seeing these hats on display with their defined rims, crisp shapes, and comfortable materials, I can’t see why any AverageLazySchlub wouldn’t invest in one.
