As for the choice, it all depends on personal preferences. Knitted hats are considered more youthful, they are also perfect for small children.

Fashion trends
There are several directions in which this fashion line is developing. First of all, I would like to highlight the practicality of hats. Most importantly, hats, despite their fashionability, remain good head protection during winter and off-season. There are no decorative elements on such hats, and due to this, the cap looks quite strict.

The most fashionable colors are white and light beige. Of the prints, preference is given to imitating the colors of the skins of wild animals, for example, a leopard or a zebra. Another characteristic feature of this season are models that imitate the beloved hand-made by many. This trend is especially popular in knitted products.

And the most important innovation that will allow many to breathe a sigh of relief - no need to match the color of the cap to the tone of the coat or jacket. Stylists suggest doing the opposite and giving preference to a contrasting shade.

What to wear with?
Cat hats look good with a down jacket or jacket. They can be combined with parkas, light jackets and denim jackets. The most ideal option is to use these hats with casual clothing. Then you can, for the whole image as a whole, pick up sneakers or high fur boots, depending on the season. In summer, lightweight cat hats will look good with shorts or sundresses. But with all these rules, stylists recommend wearing a hat with any outfits from among your favorites. Don't do this with evening dresses and suits. Taking into account the wide variety of forms of hats, you can choose the appropriate, no-frills, style for office wear. Best of all, if it is a hat. In this case, the headdress will become a softening element of the entire strictly image.

It is also worth noting that hats with cat ears may not suit everyone. They look good on round and triangular face shapes. For those with an oval face, this style of hat can only lengthen the face. However, given the variety of shapes, it is worth experimenting with, for example, fluffy hats that hide the shape of the face.
