    I divide it thus:

    A structural hat, hard and architectural in its construction and fabrication is a protective device, and so is no more apparel than Captain America's arm shield.

    A soft hat of a fluid flexible form and fabrication is something that yields to the dynamic mores of the anatomy it wraps, and is therefore as much a part of the clothing as Dame Judy Dench's sarong.

    Anything else is probably a tiara, to a greater or lesser degree.
