The main name - eight-blade - the model received according to the number of triangular wedges forming it.

When purchasing such a thing, think over the options for creating an ensemble in advance. - the cap should be in harmony with other elements of your wardrobe.

If your cap has a bright print (check or strip), complement it with a thing with an identical pattern. But here it is important not to overdo it: if the jacket or shirt is with the same pattern, then they will look like a large lurid spot. The same print should be divided - it is better to match similar trousers to the cap.

The headpiece should be in harmony with the costume in terms of color. The ensemble looks whole and complete, in which the cap matches the color of the shoes. Wardrobe elements should overlap in texture: if you wear a leather cap with a tweed coat, take care of leather gloves. If your model is wool, choose a scarf with a similar texture.

Women can wear an eight-piece in the summer with a light long sundress, while not forgetting to leave long hair loose - you get a bold seductive image. Fans of urban style can combine the cap with bomber jackets, sweaters, jeans and sneakers. An excellent option is an eight-piece, turtleneck and an elongated vest.
