Taurus is known for their reliability, practicality, ambition, and independence. These are all fabulous traits to have, and consequently are also traits that I think the perfect hat embodies. Reliable and practical are two positive traits of any good hat. Not only that but something with a little whimsical flair suits the independent nature perfectly. And, because a little ambition is good for pushing you to try something outside of your comfort zone, a charted (and written) leafy design will challenge you enough to keep you interested!
