Use A Cotton Hat For Different Occasions

A cotton hat is very comfortable, flexible and versatile. You can use it at any occasion or setting. Be it a formal gathering or a casual get-together with family and friends, cotton hats never gets out of style. If worn and carried really well, the wearer could come off as somebody who is trendy, fashionable, stylish and chic. A wearer of a cotton hat is not exclusive to one gender only. Both men and women, young and old can enjoy this wonderful head accessory.

There are a lot of varieties to choose from. So, to help you choose which hat that will be appropriate for the occasion you are attending, you must first be familiar with the different types of hats and caps out there. This will make hat shopping easier for you. Below are some of the different types of hats and caps that can be used by both gender of any age.

ASCOT CAP. Also known as the Cuffley cap, Ascot caps were originally a hard men’s cap similar to the flat cap but identified by its hardness and rounded shape. But, with the changes in time, different materials have been used to improve the look of a typical ascot cap. It is mostly of single color, making it easier to match with an ensemble that could be as formal as a corporate suit.

BASEBALL CAP. The classic cap, originally used as part of the uniform of baseball players, baseball caps are probably the widely used caps in the world. Men, women, young and old people alike wear baseball caps in almost all situations. Some used it as part of their daily hair accessory. People go to school wearing baseball caps. Then there are those who wear just for a casual weekend stroll in the mall.

BERET. Normally associated with France, the beret is also the traditional head gear of Netherlands and Italy. It is also used in the military. Berets are soft round cap, usually of wool felt, with a flat crown, worn by both men and women. Originally, of plain color, the reinvention of beret offered us a variety of designs or prints. It is very stylish when you complement it with the preppy look.

BUCKET HAT. Also known as the fisherman’s hat, it is a soft cotton hat with a wide, downwards sloping brim. The bucket hat can be paired with any classic casual ensemble. The printed, plain or neutral colored hats would look good with a classic tee shirt and khaki pants. Spring and summer are the best times to don this hat.

FEDORA. A classic style of hat originally made to be worn by women. But, in 1919, the hat was used as part of men’s middle-class clothing accessory. Like with any fashion, the fedora evolved from solid colors to printed hats. Different materials, like felt, leather and cotton were used to reinvent this classic design, too.

GATSBY. Also known as the newsboy cap, the Gatsby style is very similar to both beret and flat cap. It was originally associated with newspaper boys in Europe and United States around 19th and 20th century. Now, the newsboy cap can be seen all around the golf clubs because wealthy golfers like to wear them as well.
