The busy lifestyle we live is the number one reason for the increased level of stress among people.

For one, a hat is more than just a trendy accessory in the summer. It's what protects the delicate skin on your head and face from the harmful ultraviolet sun rays.

Then there's also the fact that hats help make you appear taller. A study showed that man who wore hats were perceived as an extra 5 centimetres taller than they actually were.
