Women's hat and its varieties

The women's hat is one of the most significant wardrobe accessories. But now we somehow remember more about her only in the summer to protect ourselves from the sun. However, let's take a look at the basic basic hat shapes that you can use to create your luxurious designs. According to fashion historian Colin McDowell, there are only two types of headgear: a cap or hat and a hat, and two types of silhouette - with brims and without brims. See, it's very simple. And in fact?...

1. Hat with cuffs, or it is also called "southwest", or a pilot's hat. The good thing about this hat is that you can change the position of the brim in different versions, as well as their size and width. The margins can be turned off completely or partially. Perhaps their absence from behind.

2. Breton. This hat may have more or less high brims that are raised upward. The hat got its name from French Brittany, where such headdresses were common.

3. Bolero. The name comes from the Spanish language. As you know, the jacket, beloved by many women, also has a similar name. Its origin is borrowed from a bullfighter costume. And these hats were also a common headdress in Spain, especially in Spanish national dances.

4. Concrete with sheer fields
They are very similar to bolero hats. But unlike the first ones, in which the brims are convex and slightly curved upward, the brim of these hats is flatter and their diameter is larger. These hats are also called tomi.

5. Boater hat
This hat is also called matlot. Translated from French - sailor. A hat with straight horizontal brim, the size of which can be larger or smaller, the brim can be either rounded or angular. The crown is also horizontal and straight. A straw hat of the same shape is called "girardi". "Girardi" - from the national headdress of Austria.

6. Posters hat. In this high-crowned hat, the brim is rather small. Behind they are turned up, and in front they are lowered down.

7. Capelin.
The chapel has a soft shape, a round crown of medium height and rather large, even and horizontal fields, which are slightly raised.

8. Cylinder. Favorite hat of Marlene Dietrich. It is very similar to a man's top hat, but its crown is somewhat lower and the brim is coquettishly raised from the sides.

9. Bell or cloche. This hat has different options: a cap, a cloche with a deep brim, a cloche with a wide brim (remember Audrey Hepburn in the movie "Breakfast at Tiffany's"). All variants have margins, but in the cap they are the shortest, and in the cloche with wide margins, naturally the largest. The crown, on the contrary, is the deepest and highest at the cap, and the shallowest at the cloche with wide brims. But a cloche with deep fields is something in between the two mentioned above.

10. Hat - flapper. The shape of the hat is soft, the crown is high, the brim is large enough, but hanging in irregular flounces, slightly covering the lady's face.

11. Hunting hat. This hat has many options. The margins are bent up at the sides, in front only slightly rounded up. You can wear such a hat by sliding it slightly over your forehead. The fields can be more or less contiguous.

12. Hat with wide brim. The fields can be really very large, slightly tilted both in front and behind, and fluctuate somewhat when walking. You must be able to wear such a hat the way Sophia Loren can do it (remember the movie "High Fashion").

13. Tyrolean hat. Its shape is somewhat reminiscent of the shape of a hunting one, its fields in the back are also raised up, but in front they are lowered down. The shape of the cap is soft. It is borrowed from the national costume of Austria, where it is called "Salzburg". This is an alpine hat that goes well with casual clothes.

14. The hat is a pill. This hat was worn by Jacqueline Kennedy. The hat really looks like a pill. It can be worn to a greater extent on the back of the head, revealing the face and even hair, or, on the contrary, it can be shifted forward, covering the forehead.

15. Turban. This hat is made of intricately woven fabric that really looks like an Asian turban. You can also tie a scarf around your head. She was very loved both in the 20s, and in the 70s of the twentieth century, and now.

16. Cowboy hat, which is not worth explaining. You will see her on screens, where North American cowboys gallop along the dusty prairies.

17. Hat "a la Rembrandt". First, Rembrandt is a Dutch painter of the 17th century. But the hat he wore was also borrowed by the ladies. A hat with large, wide and flat brim, the crown is quite high.

18. Bowler. The hat is borrowed again from the men's wardrobe and really resembles a bowler hat, but with small brim. Due to the softness, you can change the shape of the crown, bending it down, and the shape of the fields, bending them either up or down.

19. The hat is a ball. Yes, she really is like a ball, and usually borderless.

20. Hat - fez. It looks like a Muslim headdress. The shape of the crown is conical, borderless.

21. Hat - current. The current has a straight shape, somewhat similar to a pill, but the crown is taller. Yes, and it is better to wear such a hat slightly pulled over the forehead.

22. The hat is a bicorne. This hat is also called "marquise". It has various modifications. Basically, the shape of the crown is round, the fields are small, bent upwards in front and behind, the lateral sides of the fields are most often turned down.

23. Tricorne hat. A hat with a low round crown. The margins are small, may be curly, bent on all sides.

24. The hood. Antique ladies' headdress. Round hat with brim bent forward, no brim on the back. Previously, it was tied with ribbons in front.

25. Calabrian hat. Originally from Italy, it has a somewhat elongated crown. Wide and straight fields in front, slightly curved upwards behind.

26. Takes. The well-known and beloved borderless headdress. A beret, in fact, is called a headdress, in which the crown and fields merged into one whole. Berets can be of different sizes and shapes. Due to its softness, the beret can be worn the way who suits best, while slightly changing its shape.

27. Hood. This is a headdress, in which both the cap and the neckerchief are one whole. Covers the head, neck and protects the face from the wind.

28. Cap. Previously, it was simply called a cap. It is a beanie that resembles a swimmer's rubber cap. This hat was worn only by married women.

29. The hat is a helmet. This headdress has a round crown, no brims and is somewhat similar to a hat - a ball, but in it most often the sides cover the ears, as if pulled over the ears, i.e. like a helmet.
