The Living Hat is a piece of headwear with a mind of its own. Unlike many Animate Inanimate Objects, the Living Hat is most likely unable to move about on its own and has to rely on his wearer... but that doesn't mean it can't spell trouble. After all, as a magical object that goes on a person's head, the Living Hat is very likely to be some sort of mind-reader.
Naturally, a Sub-Trope of Living Clothes, itself one of Animate Inanimate Object. Also see Head Pet, for pets who just happen to prefer to nestle where a hat would go, but don't particularly resemble hats. Unrelated to Planet of Hats.

Most of the main characters in Lidsville (with the exception of Mark, HooDoo, and Weenie The Genie) were human-sized anthropomorphic hats. It's that kind of show.

Kirby's Return to Dream Land's Master Crown is at least implied to be sentient, with it visibly wobbling on Magolor's head. It also grows when its user decides to take on its power, and later Magolor Soul is mentioned to be "a sad shell, nothing more than a manifestation of the Master Crown itself". The remake's Adaptation Expansion confirms this with the crown becoming the story's true Big Bad, having destroyed countless civilizations and planets by corrupting its past wearers into Omnicidal Maniacs.

The Sorting Hat from Harry Potter. Every year, at the Sorting Ceremony, all the students try on the Hat, who reads their mind to see what House would suit them best based on their personality. The Sorting Hat is one of Hogwarts' most prized possessions, and, fortunately, a "good" character.

In Charby the Vampirate, Kavonn's hat is a sentient entity that is the source of his power and can communicate with him. She prevented him from growing any taller than he was when he first acquired her and provides him his outfits while trying in vain to also control his haircut.

In Hazbin Hotel, Sir Pentious's top hat serves as an Expressive Accessory, with an emotive eye and mouth that consistently change to match Pentious's expression, prompting Angel Dust to ask if the hat is alive. Pentious, after stopping himself from reflexively explaining, replies that that's none of Angel's business, leaving the hat's status ambiguous for the time being.

In Yo-kai Watch, Wazzat is a Yo-kai who is a living hat. He was once an ordinary hat, but after being neglected the negative energy of his abandonment ended up giving him a mind of his own. He tries to perch on other people's heads which had the side effect of erasing memories.

In The Parselmouth of Gryffindor, based on the Sorting Hat's existence, Hermione Granger mistakenly believes that Professor Quirrell's Turban is both alive and evil. Even after they realize the turban just serves as a way to conceal what is really possessing Professor Quirrell, they keep calling Voldemort "the Turban", to everyone's confusion.

The Palaververse: The Cool Crown that is the Capricious Crown of Capra, an ornate, enchanted crown that just so happens to also be alive and the supreme ruler of the nation of Capra. It speaks in a metallic voice and shows emotion by flashing its gems in different colours. But it can't move nor have any other magic of its own when not puppetting a wearer, so it's usually carried around by its menials.

In Diamond and Silver's Excellent Adventure, Baron Zeppeli's top hat has legs and claws, and is actually responsible for brainwashing him into being evil. (It's also a Shout-Out to Doris from Meet the Robinsons; the characters in this fic lampshade the similarities.)

Planescape: Torment: Optix is a gear spirit from Mechanus that takes the form of an eyepiece useable by modrons. When equipped on Nordom, he provides a number of bonuses but because he doesn't like to leave when he gets comfortable it takes a Remove Curse spell to remove him (though unlike a true cursed item, wearing him doesn't penalize Nordom in any way).

The Touhou Project fandom gives this treatment to Suwako Moriya's hat (named Pyonta), to meme-like levels. In some works it's an extension of her body, in others it's a pet, and in others it's an outright malevolent lifeform controlling Suwako via tentacles in her brain.

The Archchancellor's Hat in Sourcery is the malevolent token of authority of the Archchancellor of the Unseen Academy for Wizards.

In The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap, Ezlo (the titular hat) is one of these. He also serves as Link's hat over the course of the game, able to shrink him down to the size of a Picori whenever needed, and as the game's Exposition Fairy. Midway through the game, he reveals that he's actually a Picori mage, but was transformed into the hat by his apprentice Vaati.

Wander's hat in Wander over Yonder is implied to be sentient. Mostly it acts as a Bag of Holding that gives the owner what they need for a particular situation. This is highlighted in the episode "The Hat", where Wander goes missing and Sylvia has to use the hat to find him, but everything the hat gives her results in her almost being eaten by a giant worm which is what the hat wants, since Wander had been swallowed by the worm. When Sylvia argues with the hat, it appears to smile or frown as a response.
