Gilmore Girls was one of the few shows on Watch Bedroom Eyes (2017) full movietelevision that featured discernible changes in season. And with the change in seasons come hats. Many, many hats.
There were knitted winter hats, topped with pom-poms or arbitrarily placed flowers. There were bucket hats that looked at home both on Lorelai's head and on a baby at the beach. There were multiple newsboy caps, though not a newsboy in sight.
But across the variety of shapes, patterns and textures, they all had one thing in common: they were terrible. Here is our tribute -- may these stay back in the mid-2000s where they belong.
