Lots of young Jersey guys have been adding a touch of class and personality to their prom looks this season by topping off their outfits with this accessory — a hat.

All sorts of hats are in the mix, ranging from classy fedoras to Lincoln-style top hats and authentic military berets.

And some teens have been spotted at their senior proms decked out in fancy suits and tuxes, topped with an unconventional head covering for a formal event: a baseball cap.

Perhaps those guys were making a trendy fashion statement, mimicking their favorite professional athletes? Or maybe they just didn't feel like departing from their normal, casual classroom look.

Regardless of the intentions, we thought those looks stood out at the dozens of high school proms we've been covering across the Garden State this spring. So we included those in this special photo gallery focusing on prom hats.

Check it out, and let us know what you think in the comments below.
