Human beings are guilty of a fashion faux pas now and again. Even the most stylish of us have been known to leave the house with a shirt that’s a shade too bright or a pair of pants that don’t fit quite right.

Perhaps the most difficult wardrobe accessory to master is the hat. Some people can make it work, while others can’t. It doesn’t help that hat designers frequently choose to craft what can best be described as fabric abominations. Fortunately, there are plenty of folks walking the planet who either aren’t aware, or don’t care how utterly stupid they look wearing these atrocious mishaps. In honor of National Hat Day, from rednecks to royalty, here are 25 photos of people (and animals) donning ugly hats.

25) The Ice Cream Cone

If you’re brave enough to sport this, you must pretend to lick it.

24) The Strawberry

Appetizing. Colorful. Awful.

23) The Sack

Wear this in public, prepare to be beaten.

22) Horseheads

Perfect for a day at the races.

21) The Tin Foil Tiara

The look on the cat’s face says it all.

20) The Propeller

You can be a jackass in four different colors.

19) The Camilla

No wonder Brits are so pale. This atrocity blocks the sun.

18) The Martini Glass

She might be smiling, but that can’t be comfortable.

17) The Suburban Pimp

Like father, like son.

16) The ?????

Uh… pink chicken covered with lili pads?

15) Fruit Helmet

Some people shouldn’t be allowed to own pets.

14) Helium Headware

Anyone have a needle?

13) Coyote Ugly

Ideal for hunters and homicidal maniacs.

12) Ten Gallon Douchebag

Some people look good in a cowboy hat. This dork isn’t one of them.

11) Abstract

High fashion is wack.

10) Flower Madness

Pollinate this!

9) Red Horror

It looks like she’s being consumed by a giant serpent.

8) Cheesehead

Worst. Idea. Ever.

7) Pink Nightmare

Don’t double date with these gals.

6) The Head Puppet

Doesn’t seem like appropriate attire for the cemetery.

5) The Astronomy Lesson

Boldly go where no hats have gone before.

4) The Giant Bow

Oh, Aretha. What were you thinking?

3) Crown of Yuck

Again, high fashion is wack.

2) Pillow Head

For napping on the go.

1) No Smoking

Ridiculous, but extra points for ingenuity.
