Hello!
This time of year brings out the hats: knit, beanie, dappy
hats – you name it! So, at first glance what do these various types of hat
represent?
1. Fedora
This clean edge brown fedora straight away represents class.
A sort of old English, 1900’s thought is brought to mind when this hat is seen.
It can also bring about a bohemian vibe, depending on how you’re wearing it and
what you’re wearing it with. With this hat a sense of priority and somewhat
power is bought along – so if you want to seem fancy, go for a fedora!
2. Fur Hat
This particular style of hats reminds me of the Russians.
Russians being in the colder climates would generally be more associated with
Fur. This type of hat is actually called a “Traditional Cossack Hat” and was
originally made from sheep skin – oh the luxury! This hat brings an atmosphere
of high-fashion with it and cannot go wrong by pairing it with a knit jumper –
just to add with the cosiness of the fur!
3. Beanies
This seems to be the go-to for the winter months for many
people. It brings about a sense of comfort and what I call “sweatpants style” –
and in this case a bit of hipster too. The beanies with words and slogans like
“Swag”, “You can’t sit with us” and “Killin’ It” seem to be everywhere, oh and
I’ve even seen one with “Gnarly” on it, which I’m not too fond of! Beanies are
great for the can’t-be-bothered-to-do-my-hair kind of days or days when you’re
just not having a GHD* no matter what you do or try!
So, yes, I agree that hat’s can amp up any style and make
any outfit stand out, as well as providing good protection to your head (in some
cases, anyway) but if you’re trying to portray a certain style, be careful on
the hat you choose!
