The hat is not only a head covering that serves as a protection to elements during summer and winter seasons in the kingdom and elsewhere but one of the best fashion accessories both men and women should have. It makes a great fashion statement. It brings your look to a whole new level.
Lets take a look at the types of hats for both men and women.
Women's Style:
The Cloche: The basic cloche was a close-fitting hat with deep crowns that clung over the wearer’s brow.
The Beret: The beret had no brim and a soft, lopsided top.
The Bowler: Oval hat with round, rigid crown and modeled brim. Also known as a derby, because the style was made popular by the Earl of Derby in 19th. century England.
The Gainsborough: Gainsboroughs were wide, ornate hats and were commonly adorned with an abundance of feathers.
The Pillbox: It was shaped like a shortened cylinder with a flat top and no brim.
The Fedora: The fedora featured a medium-width snap brim and a band around the crown.
The Skimmer: They featured flat tops and rigid flat brims, and were made of straw braid.
The Snood: A snood was a simple band that kept long hair away from the wearer’s face, such as an ornamental hair net.
The Bretton: ample round crown and brim turned-up all around
The Bonnet: The spoon bonnet’s high brim and narrow sides gave way to drawn bonnets with more ovoid shapes.
Men's Style:
The Tophat: Tall, cylindrical, flat-topped hat with modeled brim.
The Poorboy: Large, soft, 6 or 8 panel fabric cap with visor and peak snap. Sometimes with ear flaps. Also called a newsboy.
The Tryolean: It has a cord band and plumage and is, once again, most appropriate for casual or sports wear.
The Derby a.k.a the Bowler: is a dressy, stylish hat that gives it wearer a definite British flavour.
The Panama: Straw hat made with panama cloche.
The Porkpie: received its name from the groove surrounding the flattened top of the crown (hence the English pastry allusion). it has a round, flat-topped crown and a small brim turned up all around.
The Fedora: Felt hat with a lengthwise crease in the crown, and a medium brim.
The Cowboy: high crown and wide brim, originally worn by cow hands. Usually of felt, leather or straw.
