The traditional way is the use of hat pins. You pin the hat directly into your updo. (Your updo is pinned with actual hair pins, not bobby pins.) It helps to use several pins per hat. Once you do it right, that sucker isn't comin' off your head for nothing. The hat (for ladies) that is part of a total ensemble is meant to be worn the entire time. Gents wear their hats outside and sometimes inside, at certain prescribed events/times... then doff them. Guys don't use hat pins.
