If there’s one thing, we’ve learned from style icon Erykah Badu, it’s that an accessory—namely hats in all shapes, colors and sizes—can really (really), elevate your look. So it’s no wonder why we spotted everything from ball caps to berets at this year’s Soul Train Awards. 

The assignment was to bring your fashion A-game, after all. With that said, we’re having a tough time deciding who wore the accessory the best. Was it DJ Cassidy, who sported cream fedora? Actor Jordan E. Cooper who complimented his fit with a checkered Kango? Check out some of the best toppers from the Soul Train Awards below and decide for yourself.
