Are you looking for a new hat for the Summer? Depending on the season, and where you’re going, there’s a few key hat trends to look out or in 2013, whether you want to keep the sun out of your eyes, or avoid the chill. Notable hat trends this year include the ongoing revival of the fedora, as well as more recent nostalgia items like snap backs, and more unusual head wear like trapper hats and bowler hats. More on these, and other trends, can be found below.
Fedoras
This retro item has crept back into contention over the past few years as one of the most versatile statement hats you can wear. Classic fedoras with a sash can be paired with sunglasses and suits for a smart look, or can be worn in straw and coloured versions with blazers, t shirts, and sunglasses, to make for a good smart casual look during the Summer.
Snapbacks
These baseball caps with an adjustable rim were a major trend back in the late 1980s and 1990s, and have made a recent comeback – mostly associated with street style, snap back sare distinctive due to the experimentation you can carry out with different sizes and bold prints – look for brands like Twisted Soul, available online at Officers Club, for some good examples of current snap backs.
Paperboy Hats
Ideal for wearing with a more preppy look, paperboy hats are simple but effective if you want a hat without a prominent rim, and work well with scarves and blazers – also useful if you’re building an outfit around this year’s popular nautical theme.
Beanie Hats
In terms of current trends, beanie hats are the staple that can be mixed up with different colours and sizes; mens beanies can feature everything from neutral colours for everyday use, or smaller fisherman style hats that can be comfortably worn during the Summer.
Classic Baseball Caps
If you don’t fancy the idea of the snap back, then the classic baseball cap is still a good trend to focus on – go for designer style caps if possible, though, with discreet logos and high quality finishing – these are best if you want to keep cool during the Summer.
Bowlers
Okay, maybe this style of hat is a little difficult to pull off for most people, or anyone that’s not a banker, the bowler has been appearing on a few runway shows in the pastyear, and is being used by brands such as Hackett London as a heritage hat; best worn with a classic three piece suit.
Trapper Hats
If you need a hat that’s going to keep you warm when the weather changes, then trapper hats are hard to beat – fake fur and under chin straps mean that you can avoid freezing your ears and neck during a cold snap.
Cowboy Hats
Another hat style that can be a bit difficult to get right, cowboy hats need to be picked up in designer styles with breathable fabrics and well fitted sizes if you want to wear them without looking like you should be at a costume party.
