Everyone has their own style and the opportunity to express themselves, which is a very important part of life. Sometimes hats are seen as accessories for trendsetters to show off their sophistication. Here, we introduce to you some of the different types of hats available in the world today, along with some background information. Perhaps you can decide which one suits you best.
Balaclava
Technically, a balaclava is more of a headscarf than a hat, but it still falls into the same category, so it’s included on this list. Balaclava is typically wrapped around the head and covers most of the neck, so only the face (and sometimes just the eyes!) is exposed.
Baseball Cap
Baseball cap,one of the most popular hats in the modern world. Many sports teams choose the baseball cap as their headwear, often imprinting their logo or badge on it to make fans proud to wear them.
Beret
Most popular in the proud country of France, the beret has become a fashion statement for the French. Over the years, beret status has risen significantly (it was once a farmer’s hat) and now beret seems to make quite an impression.
Cloche Hat
A classic hat designed for and worn by women. Cloche hat has been a common sight throughout history, with little change in size, shape, or style. Cloche hat’s somewhat outdated now, but Cloche hat’s still frequently used for 1920s-themed costume parties.
Bucket Hat
The bucket hat was once worn by farmers and fishermen to protect their heads from sunburn. Today, bucket hat has evolved into a rather stylish symbol. Both men and women still wear bucket hat to show off their trendy image.
Cowboy Hat
Any Western movie fan has seen and loved this hat. Cowboy Hat remains popular to this day, with many men and women in the southern United States still wearing them while out and about.
Fedora
This hat is a well-known classic style. You often see it floating on the heads of gangsters and men in old-time classic films (or new films set in those eras). It’s iconic in itself, and even today, some people still wear fedora, although it’s no longer strictly associated with gangsters.
Fez
Compared to other hats on this list, this one looks more exotic, but it’s still one of the most popular hat styles in the world today. Its interesting cylindrical shape and the large tassel hanging from the top are easily recognizable.
Sun Hat
One of the most commonly worn hats by women in the sun today. The sun hat proudly displays a wide brim, which helps protect the wearer’s entire head from the negative effects of the sun. Today, sun hat’s considered quite fashionable, and women around the world love to wear sun hat, whether at the beach or while strolling in the park!
Top Hat
Another classic style, worn more by civilized gentlemen in the old days. Top hat features a wide brim and an impressive high crown. Many historical figures have worn this hat to grand events (such as Winston Churchill and Abraham Lincoln).
