Another example comes from " The Smurfette". When Greedy says "no!" after Smurfette leaves to go find another Smurf who could help her with the dam, his hat briefly comes off, revealing that Smurfs are bald. In the 2011 Smurfs movie, the Smurfs use their hats as parachutes to slow their descent when leaping from the window of the Winslow's' apartment building in New York City to a nearby taxicab. The Winslow child Blue wears a hospital cap in a manner similar to a Smurf hat.

Smurf hats are sold as real-world products for those who want to dress themselves up as Smurfs for Halloween or costume parties. On Global Smurfs Day, people in various cities around the world gathered to show their love for the Smurfs by dressing themselves in the manner of Smurfs, wearing blue shirts, white pants, and white Smurf hats with their faces all painted blue. In the shown picture from The Smurfs And The Magic Flute, one of the Smurfs doffs his hat to a nest of birds after they have successfully transferred the nest from the tree they were going to cut down for making the second magic flute onto another tree. Smurf hats can be created in different colors as well. In the 2021 TV series, episodes such as " I'm Off To The Circus!" and " The Magic Pumpkin" feature Smurfs with blue and yellow magician hats, while Brainy Smurf was seen wearing a green mathematics hat in the latter episode.
