A hat attachment clip includes a front portion having first and second clip members, each having opposed proximal and distal ends. A first bridge member couples proximal ends of the first and second clip members together, respectively. The first and second clip members define an open space therebetween proximate the first bridge member. The distal ends of the first and second clip members are biased toward one another. The hat attachment clip includes a rear portion releasably and rotatably coupled to the front portion having third and fourth clip members, each having opposed proximal and distal ends. A second bridge member couples proximal ends of the first and second clip members together, respectively. The third and fourth clip members define an open space therebetween proximate the second bridge member. The distal ends of the third and fourth clip members are biased toward one another.

1. A hat attachment clip for use with a hat having a brim and for use with the belt of a person's apparel, comprising: a front portion comprising: a first clip member having opposed proximal and distal ends;a second clip member having opposed proximal and distal ends;a first bridge member coupling said proximal ends of said first clip member and said second clip member, respectively, in a unitary closed arrangement;wherein said first clip member defines a first open space between said first clip member and said second member proximate said first bridge member;wherein said distal ends of said first clip member and said second clip member, respectively, are constructed of a material that exerts a retentive force so as to be normally biased toward one another;a rear portion releasably coupled to said front portion, comprising: a third clip member having opposed proximal and distal ends;a fourth clip member having opposed proximal and distal ends;a second bridge member coupling said proximal ends of said third clip member and said fourth clip member, respectively, in a unitary closed arrangement;wherein said third clip member defines a second open space between said third clip member and said fourth member proximate said second bridge member;wherein said second clip member is displaced from said third clip member so as to define a space between said front portion and said rear portion;wherein said distal ends of said third clip member and said fourth clip member, respectively, are normally biased toward one another;wherein said front portion includes a configuration that is substantially identical as a configuration of said rear portion;wherein: said front portion defines a first longitudinal axis;said rear portion defines a second longitudinal axis; andsaid front portion is rotatably coupled to said rear portion such that said front portion is movable between a start configuration at which said first longitudinal axis is parallel to said second longitudinal axis and an angled configuration at which said second axis is rotatably displaced from said first axis;said distal end of said first clip member is adjacent said distal end of said third clip member when said front portion is at said start configuration and is swiveled away from said distal end of said third clip member at said angled configuration;said distal end of said first clip member is positioned along said first longitudinal axis and parallel to said second longitudinal axis but longitudinally displaced from said distal end of said third clip member when said front portion is at said start configuration and is swiveled away from said distal end of said third clip member at said angled configuration;an outer surface of said second clip member includes a receiving structure that defines an aperture in communication with a channel;a flange extends away from an outer surface of said third clip member, said flange having a configuration that is selectively received into said channel in a selectively releasable friction fit engagement. 2. The hat attachment clip as in claim 1, wherein said flange includes a post portion coupled to said outer surface of said third clip member that extends away therefrom and a head portion mounted atop said post portion, said head portion having a generally frustoconical configuration that is complementary to a configuration of said channel and is selectively received therein in a friction fit engagement. 3. The hat attachment clip as in claim 1, wherein: said channel defines a recess adjacent said aperture;said receiving structure includes a ball bearing situated in said recess so as to enhance receipt of said flange in a friction fit engagement. 4. The hat attachment clip as in claim 3, wherein said ball bearing is biased toward said channel and configured to bear against said flange when said flange is positioned in said channel. 5. The hat attachment clip as in claim 4, wherein: said distal ends of said first clip member and said second clip are movable between a closed configuration blocking the brim of the hat from being inserted therebetween into said first open space and an open configuration receiving the brim of the hat into said first open space; andsaid distal ends of said third clip member and said fourth clip member are movable between a closed configuration blocking the belt from being received therebetween into said second open space and an open configuration receiving the belt into said second open space. 6. The hat attachment clip as in claim 1, wherein: said distal ends of said first clip member and said second clip member are movable between a closed configuration blocking the brim of the hat from being inserted therebetween into said first open space and an open configuration receiving the brim of the hat into said first open space; andsaid distal ends of said third clip member and said fourth clip member are movable between a closed configuration blocking the belt from being received therebetween into said second open space and an open configuration receiving the belt into said second open space. 7. The hat attachment clip as in claim 5, wherein: said front portion defines a first longitudinal axis;said rear portion defines a second longitudinal axis; andsaid front portion is rotatably coupled to said rear portion such that said front portion is movable between a start configuration at which said first longitudinal axis is parallel to said second longitudinal axis and an angled configuration at which said second axis is rotatably displaced from said first axis. 8. The hat attachment clip as in claim 7, wherein said distal end of said first clip member is positioned along said first longitudinal axis and parallel to said second longitudinal axis but longitudinally displaced from said distal end of said third clip member when said front portion is at said start configuration and is swiveled away from said distal end of said third clip member at said angled configuration. 9. The hat attachment clip as in claim 5, wherein said fastener is situated generally at a midpoint between said respective proximal and distal ends of said second clip member and said third clip member. 10. The hat attachment clip as in claim 1, wherein said distal end of said first clip member has a curved configuration that extends outwardly away from said distal end of said second clip member. 11. The hat attachment clip as in claim 10, wherein said distal end of said fourth clip member has a curved configuration that extends outwardly away from said distal end of said third clip member. 12. The hat attachment clip as in claim 1, wherein said first clip member includes decorative indicia. 13. The hat attachment clip as in claim 1, wherein said flange includes a post portion coupled to said outer surface of said third clip member that extends away therefrom and a head portion mounted atop said post portion, said head portion having a configuration that is complementary to a configuration of said aperture of said receiving structure and is selectively received into said channel through said aperture. 14. The hat attachment clip as in claim 13, wherein said receiving structure defines a slot adjacent to and in communication with said aperture, said slot configured to selectively receive said post portion of said flange in a friction fit engagement. 15. The hat attachment clip as in claim 6, wherein: said flange includes a post portion coupled to said outer surface of said third clip member that extends away therefrom and a head portion mounted atop said post portion, said head portion having a configuration that is complementary to a configuration of said aperture of said receiving structure and is selectively received into said channel through said aperture; andsaid receiving structure defines a slot adjacent to and in communication with said aperture, said slot configured to selectively receive said post portion of said flange in a friction fit engagement.
