Damn, can you belive Skateboard P is about to turn 41? Yes, we know, he doesn't look a day over 23, *insert vampire/immortal joke here*. But even as he nears middle-age he's still at the top of his game, ascending to new heights and levels of pop culture iconography even. He's always been one of the freshest alive but these days all eyes are on his steez especially thanks to his giant Vivenne Westwood/Arby's hat. Since headgear is his lane of infamy these days, we've got a few ideas on how he can celebrate his 41st. Here are 20 Hats Pharrell Should Wear For his Birthday.

Walter White's Heisenberg hat

It'd only be right seeing as he just delivered the audio equivalent of blue meth last month.

Indiana Jones' hat

While the world hyperventilates at the thought of a new actor donning the classic archaeologist fedora that's survived Nazis, aliens and killer cults (and rightfully so), no one would begrudge Pharrell rocking it in a purely style-accessory scenario. (But no whip, because then it'd just be a basic-ass Halloween costume.)

President Lincoln's tophat

P, the rare celebrity to have never been caught in a lie. And don't front like some of his interviews aren't Gettysburg Address level of influential.

[Hey] Arnold's hat

Pharrell was definitely the Arnold of his grade school: undeniably eccentric and weird but also that kid everybody was down with.

Gilligan's hat

Bucket hats are very on-trend right now, and if Gilligan ever made it off that damn island he'd probably be hailed as a style icon to be honest.

Jayne's winter hat

The only way Pharrell could get more awesome would be if he was a diehard Firefly fan or better yet, full-on Whedonite.

The Cat in the Hat's tophat

We're sure young Rocket Williams would be into this.

Darkwing Duck's hat

And the cape too, if we're being greedy.

Marshmallow Man's Stay Puft hat

One time for Harold Ramis.

Sway's hat

In the unlikely event that Sway would ever get caught dead without his signature headgear, let alone actually take it off.

Robin Hood's Feathered Cap

Crossbow P.

Raylan Givens' Ten-Gallon Cowboy hat

Because anything to raise the awareness level for Justified, aka one of the best shows on TV.

Carmen Sandiego's hat

No one would question Pharrell in a woman's hat both because Pharrell's style is unquestionable and your childhood was dark if you didn't rock with Carmen.

Ash Ketchum's snapback

He's already got a blinged out Rubik's cube, why not add an icy Pokéball to the collection?

Justin Bieber's Spiked fitted

If there's anyone who could pull off this medieval torture chamber of a fitted, it's Skate P.

The Hogwarts Sorting hat

Ravenclaw, obviously.

Dick Tracy's hat

Pharrell can get very loud with his looks when he feels like it but still gets taken seriously, much like the godbody detective Dick Tracy in his Curious George approved fedora.

The Pope's hat

No blasphemy but, c'mon, even Francis the OG probably heard "Get Lucky" and "Blurred Lines" last year. Real recognize real.

Devo's Energy Domes

The only other person who can pull off the shrubbery-container steez besides the rock gods themselves.

Magneto's helmet

Skate's more of a Professor X intellectually and idealistically speaking, but that Cerebro steez is an in-home-only kind of deal so since P's not on house arrest, why not emulate the second most powerful mutant instead.
