Maybe because you get better at choosing them every time around.
That's possible!

It's true that some hats have a general "go with a lot more outfits" look than others.
And then theres just that one (or, okay, maybe two) hat that when you put it on and look in the mirror, you think, 'Ohhhhh yeeeeeah!'
This is that hat for me: my VS Silver Mist thin-ribbon. It's definately my go-to hat, and I feel like a million dollars when I wear it!
That is a pretty hat, Jaunty, and I love the shot with the antique radio. By the way, you have some radical vintage ties, too.
Although this has been discussed in other threads, I can't find a thread dedicated to it, so here goes.
I've never had just one go-to hat, except maybe when I had just one hat. There's always two or three that form a 'current' go-to rotation.
Right now, that includes my moss green Penman and my gray Adventurebilt, followed very closely by my Lamson-Hubbard and Glenhill's.
If the 'followed very closely' doesn't work here, then it's the Penman and AB.
If it's cool out I seem to always wear my BGCD. When it's hot out I wear my Akubra Country Club. I have an RM Williams hat I bought just so I could alter it into an open crown CD, because I liked the color so much and just wanted to do the work on it. It was a great project! Sometimes I wear that one to be a little more formal. These Akubras have been a real education!I find that I tend to wear either my Tawny Campdraft or my Silverbelly Campdraft at least 85% of the time. My least worn is my Moonstone FedIV which I love but never seem to wear the right colors for it.
What is your go to, what gets the most head time and the least?

+1 I like the designation of "what haven't I worn lately" This is kind of what I do. My go-to hats change from time to time. Right now I would say my Lees of London in blue with a whip stitch gets the grab a lot of the time.If I run out the door, I usually grab a beater like the LL Bean/Stetson Moose River or, in heavy rain, my NW Hats conversion of a Stratton western to an outback hat.... of course, in the summer this changes to straw selection.
If I am planning to dress for a specific place, then I generally look over my 35-hat "tree" with the thought, "what haven't I worn lately?"
