Many people view hats as purely functional in that they protect our faces and hair from harsh sun. However they are powerful accessories as well. Putting on a hat can completely change the vibe of your outfit. With so many types of hats available, there’s something for you no matter your style.
Fascinator
These are classy hats worn at glam events such as high teas or dressy cocktail parties. If you want to instantly look expensive, fascinators are for you. They usually have netting, flowers and feathers. Elaborate fascinators attract a lot of attention. If uncomfortable with this, start with subtle designs then graduate from there.
Sun Hats
Hot weather calls for us to protect our hair and facial skin. Sun hats are the most suitable for this. Those with ultra wide brims give you a high fashion aura. If planning to go on vacation in a hot destination, take a sun hat with you.
Beanies
Who doesn’t love a snuggly beanie? This hat is a perfect companion for cold weather. To ensure your hair doesn’t dry out under beanies, choose those with a satin inner lining. Or get your tailor to sew satin fabric on the inside.
Baseball Caps
These exude a casual and sporty feel. They are best for a laid back hangout with friends or running errands on weekends. If you have a more expressive personality, baseball caps with graphic print designs will suit your fancy. Simple solid colour ones work well for those who don’t wish to attract attention.
Berets
Berets have their own strong personality, reminiscent of the Black Panther Party. They are also associated with the military. On days when you want to portray a ‘don’t mess with me’ image, pick up this hat.
Bowler Hat
This one is synonymous with Charlie Chaplin. He wore bowlers in all his films. Don’t worry, when worn with a fitting ladies’ suit it gives you a very polished look.
