Hello mes chers,
Today, I am going to talk about something that I don't know that much about: hats.
The truth is, I do not wear hats often, nor do I own a variety of hats. When I do wear hats, they are usually the wide-brimmed sun hats used to keep sun off the face. However, I would be remiss if I didn't over these timeless accessories.
Firstly, I would like to point that while straw hats may not be the most fashionable, particularly in more urbane styles, they have their place. They protect your skin from the sun, which is quite damaging and could give you sunburn, wrinkle your skin prematurely, or even contribute to skin cancer. So, if you're going to a gala, you might not want don your huge straw hat, but if you're out birding, I highly recommend you do!
On the other hand, hats can be genius outfit touches. I personally prefer hats that are of a classic design.
One of my favorite classic hat styles is the cloche hat, like this one. I have one of my own, and it is one of my most beloved accents to add to an outfit. Cloche hats come in a slight variation of styles and a wide variety of color schemes, but it's almost impossible to go wrong with any of them. The one I own is black, and there is a bow on it where the large flower is on this fuchsia hat. They tend to be a bit more on the expensive side, so be prepared if you are interested in buying a cloche hat.
Another one of my favorite hat styles is the beret. This style is simplistic and elegant and will absolutely go with any outfit. I do actually have a few of my own. These come in many different designs and colors; even the way you position your beret may affect the style. Berets are usually less expensive than cloche hats, so while they are less individual, buying multiples is easier.
Now that I've poured everything I know about hats out of my head (I'm sure if I invested more time into defining my specific hat taste, I could find some more information), enjoy this chic 3 minute video of 400 years' worth of men's hat styles:
