There's never a dull sartorial moment with Kanye West. From his all-red outfits to a women's blouse at Coachella, the man just doesn't disappoint. The recent craze that has everyone going apeshit is the Just DON snakeskin snapback that 'Ye debuted at the CFDA Fashion Awards. Religiously rocking the Dallas Mavericks snapback as of late, Kanye may just put this snakeskin accessory on the map as his next big fashion statement. Even though this snapback movement has been spearheaded by his G.O.O.D Music protege Big Sean, Kanye's no slouch when it comes to his hat game. 'Ye wore a snapback to the Brooklyn Hip-Hop festival this past weekend, which got us thinking back on his best hat moments. We've got the proof in our gallery that showcases A History of Kanye Rocking Hats.
