Hats Are Definitely Back
Hats have been in the market for many years now. Designed to protect the head from elements, for safety and religious purposes, hats now become an accessory. Though hats are regarded as a social symbol during earlier centuries, hats today can now be worn practically by everyone to suit their needs and style. Tired of your usual self and style? Do you want to reinvent and experiment on fashion and make a fashion statement? Then, don on a hat and see that transformation – from plain to fashionable.
Hats’ getting back in the fashion arena can be attributed to popular TV programs like MasterChef, Australian Idol and So You Think You Can Dance. Races also have a big impact on the now-booming hat industry. Robert Carroll, the milliner and manager of Strand Hatters, shares that in his 20 years in business, this is the time when men wore hats more than ever. He also said that he has customers from the younger generations coming to the store, looking for hats, cufflinks, braces and ties fitted for the race. Another customer shares his view on donning a hat. After choosing a sharp trilby-brown hat made by Akubra, he expresses that wearing a hat makes him more edgy and smarter, plus it highlights his suit.
One very good indicator that hats are indeed making waves in the fashion scene is by seeing it worn by international celebrities. Superb performer Robbie Williams and good artist Kanye West have both been spotted wearing Jive Masters belonging to the Club Collection of Akubra. The hat is stylishly designed as a straw pork pie hat trimmed with retro-inspired band.
There is a variety of hat styles and among these are balaclava, the popular baseball cap, boater, cowboy hat, Deerstalker (popularized by Sherlock Homes), fedora and Panama, the popular straw hat made in Ecuador. There are also some hats used by military men and are regarded very important as it signifies rank and regiment. Samples of this type of hat are beret, boonie hat, busby, and the peaked cap which is worn by militaries across the globe.
Wearing a hat means many different things. Whether its part of your uniform or a fashion statement, wearing it well is what is important. One good observation pointed out by Carroll is hat etiquette. He said that gentlemen should never wear their hats indoors and should always dip their hat when greeting a lady. Complete your gallant looks by wearing a brand name necktie. Men’s necktie never fails to add a complete look to your suit and hat combo.
