Step two: Take a heavy or thick piece of clothing (like a chambray shirt or a sweater) and fold it or roll it tightly.
Step three: Place the piece of clothing inside the crown of your hat to fill the hole completely. If you’ve still got some spare room, try using socks to make sure the hat’s totally stuffed with fabric.
Step four: Place your hat on top of the heavy clothing you already packed and start placing your lighter items around it. This could include light tops, silk dresses, bikinis, and other delicates.
Step five: Continue to layer lighter items around the hat, making sure to surround it tightly so the hat won’t move around when you travel. It’s best not to overstuff your suitcase, otherwise your hat could end up squished—not a cute look.
