- The cap is created in the form of a headdress for flight attendants, as well as military ones. For the manufacture of the model, furs are used, as well as felt material. The casual cap is much larger than the one that is part of the uniform, so it allows you to cover your head and ears, protecting you from the cold.
- The style of the Mongolian hat resembles the Boyarka model, the difference is that the first is equipped with strings at the back.
- Berets are a favorite headdress for street artists as there is something romantic about their appearance. A flat headdress can be made from different kinds of materials.

- Caps also include hats, the variety of models of which is also striking. Eight-piece caps, benchmark straight caps, models with a mesh, baseball caps, flat caps and many others - everyone can choose a cap to their liking.
The toe cap looks like a long product, the tip of which hangs down due to the gathering of the cap at the back.
- The bandana hat is made in the form of a fur or woolen triangular shawl fastened at the back. The headscarf hat has a similar cut to the bandana model.
- The turban hat resembles a turban in its style. Often, such a product is decorated in front with a large stone or an oval brooch.
- Square hats look very unusual, because due to the peculiarities of the cut, the corners of the square stick out, creating the appearance of cute little ears.
- The style of a hat called a pie is a cross between a hat and a garrison cap. Such a product looks interesting, but not always appropriate.
- Another of the unusual models is the jockey hat, presented in the form of a helmet. This product is made of dense felt and has a certain style.
- Round hats are often equipped with a veil. For everyday use, such a product is not suitable - it is too pretentious and vulgar, but as an evening out it is quite useful.
- The hood is somewhat similar to a collar, since it is put on according to the same principle. But unlike the first one, the peculiarity of the cut is that the product has a hole for the face and is worn specifically on the head as a hat.
Thin hats are good for spring and autumn, when it is still hot in a thick garment, but weather conditions already require that the head be covered.
Warm models are very relevant in the winter cold. Made from fur, dense multi-layer yarn, or other material with an insulating lining - any of these options will do.
There is a third option for hats - demi-season, which are good for average weather conditions. When the wind is no longer so warm and light, and the air temperature is at the border of zero.
Some models of hats, even if they have nothing to do with caps, can be equipped with a small or large visor as a decorative element.
It is worth paying special attention to knitted hats, since knitting techniques differ from each other and can be a decor in themselves.
- Knitting with braids looks very nice, as well as with a jacquard pattern. It is worth mentioning that these two techniques can be combined in one product. The melange hat has a similar technique, which, when used in delicate shades, looks incredibly feminine.
- Hats made of mohair, plush yarn, and grass are also popular. The yarn got this name because of the small soft fibers sticking out on the product at the end of knitting.
- There are many more models, stand-up and cool hats with a print, as well as for different purposes - for skiing or swimming.
- Models are also popular in different styles, for example, retro, military, hippie. And also with various unusual cut elements - with a slit in the back or a hole at the crown that tightens on the drawstring.
For women over 40-50 years old
Grown women, like young girls, want to stay beautiful and dress stylishly and in line with fashion trends. But when chasing fashion, you can often get your finger in the sky and choose a product that is completely inappropriate and not age-appropriate.
Fur hats are perfect for women over 50. Such products, regardless of the model, look stately, solid and luxurious, so any woman will look great in this hat.
Some models of knitted hats, as well as various felt hats, giving the image a touch of lightness and romance and visually rejuvenating its owner for a couple of years, may well suit ladies in their 40s.
For the most fashionable and stylish women of this age, clamps of gentle and warm shades are suitable. The product will look especially beautiful if it is made using the ombre technique, made of thick yarn with the use of coarse knitting.
For fat girls
When choosing a hat, it is better for overweight girls to proceed from the type of face, but we will get acquainted with this a little later. Hats in deep as well as dark shades are well suited. Fur hats will look pretty good, as well as any other voluminous model. But tight hats should be avoided so as not to focus on the fullness of the face.
Fashion models 2021-2022
The modern world of fashion is rich in unusual ideas and the most reckless models that fashion designers present at their shows, so it can be difficult to discern something suitable for everyday life.
It is worth paying attention to a hat with a pom-pom, which has not left its leading position for several seasons. The pom-pom can be made either from woolen yarn (this option is called bubo) or from fur - artificial or natural.
Knitted hats, most often, have a lapel, which is not only a decorative element, but also performs a certain function - thanks to the lapel, the product sits better and holds on the head.
Models of chunky knitting made of thick yarn are popular, which look quite voluminous. The product can be equipped with a bubo or strings.
Felt hats, made in the form of stylish hats with small brim, have gained popularity. Unusual models such as a hat in the form of a jockey helmet, a model in a military style and a hat with an animal face and ears are also popular.
Material and insulation
The material from which the hat is made largely reflects its functional and thermal characteristics. Some are more popular, while others are purchased solely for decorative use.
For example, knitted hats. They do not have much functionality, but they look very interesting and are well suited for autumn coolness and a sporty look.
The downy hat is warmer and is made from angora rabbit wool. But with such a product, characteristic problems can arise - the fluff quickly disentangles and leaves many traces of white wool, which is especially noticeable on dark clothes.
Fur hats are also popular, since they are not blown by the wind at all, and, being equipped with insulation, they warm well even in the most severe frosts.
- One of the variants of fur, which is often used for the manufacture of both fur coats and hats, is muton. A hat made of this material has a special fur structure that looks like velvet.
- The sable product has a rather fluffy pile and looks beautiful. Due to the special structure of the undercoat, the fur has some overflow.
- A hat made of astrakhan fur looks very unusual, the fur of which is like velvety curly hairs.
- Arctic fox and fox hats look very fluffy. Especially worth noting is the black fox, whose fur amazes with real luxury.
Hats are made not only from warm fur, but also from velor. Autumn models are especially good, but without an insulated lining, such a thing is not at all suitable for winter. Very similar to a velor suede and velvet hat.
The most popular and widespread are woolen hats, which are made from yarn using fine, most often mechanical, or larger, hand-knitted techniques.
The sheepskin hat has a tanned leather finish on the outside, and is very warm thanks to the inner fur layer. Cashmere hats are good for spring and fall. The product is rather delicate and delicate, therefore it requires especially careful handling.
The felt hat does not stretch, has a definite shape and should not undergo creases and any other mechanical deformations, since creases may remain on the product, which will spoil the appearance of the product.
The same advice applies to drape hats as the material has similar properties to felt. Leather hats also have a certain shape, but without insulation they do not have any valuable functionality.
Hat lining is made of fleece, synthetic winterizer, natural or artificial fur.
Color and print
The color palette of hats is quite rich, and products can also have a variety of prints that are a certain decoration.
Black hats, like white ones, are the most common because these colors belong to the standard set and are simple and understandable for most people.
Blue and gray hats look good, which emphasize light eyes of a similar shade especially beautifully.
Pink hats are especially popular with young girls and teenage girls. Depending on the shade, the product will have a certain character.
Orange and red hats, very often, can be too bright, therefore they are not very popular and are popular mainly among children's models.
But burgundy hats, on the contrary, look very impressive and go well with additions and decor of dark colors.
Products of brown and beige colors look very interesting, although they are rather restrained and even "cautious". Since the shades are classified as warm, in extreme cold they will evoke a warm sensation through visual perception.
When choosing a green hat, it's best to focus on the dark green shade. This hat is especially suitable for blue-eyed girls, since this tone will favorably set off the color of the eyes.
Hats can have a special knitted ornament in the form of a New Year's pattern or some other image.
The most common version of the winter and even New Year's image on knitted items is a print with deer. Classic and beloved by consumers, the deer print is an incredible success.
The stripe on the cap is the option that you can not be afraid of, since it does not make you look fat and does not distort the visual perception of the silhouette. The strip can be positioned vertically, horizontally or tilted.
Decor
Hats with a neat, restrained decor look like a real luxury item, but if there is too much of it, the product can become cheap and turn into consumer goods.
Hats decorated with stones are most often made of a single color material. The stones are placed on both light and black canvas, but the stones look really gorgeous on a dark background.
Many brands use logo labels on their hats as a decorative element. The inscriptions can be short phrases or some specific words.
The inscriptions are most often applied in the form of a pattern or by means of embroidery, but can be lined with rhinestones or embroidered with sequins.
Beads of different sizes are also a fairly common decor, making the product more delicate and feminine, which cannot be said about thorns, which will undoubtedly bring notes of rigidity and boldness to an outfit.
As a decoration, a small bow made of the same material as the hat, lace or satin ribbon can be attached to the cap in the temporal region.
Do not forget about such a decorative element as embroidery. Colored, silver and gilded threads are the key to the success of a beautiful ornament.
Brands
Famous couturiers in their collections present a variety of hats, suitable for different seasons. For example, Armani has a number of models of fur hats, as well as semi-woolen knits, which also have thin fur stripes.
Brands such as Tavitta, Reebok, Fin Flier are engaged in the development of sports-style hats, as well as products for outdoor recreation, hunting and fishing.
In the collection of the Zara brand there are several beautiful models of knitted hats, decorated with knitted braids, a fluffy fur pom-pom and a small lapel, giving the hat a light note of mystery.
Polish and Italian designers are renowned for the high quality of their products, while designers such as Eisbaer, Calvin Klein, Monkler and Kaliayev are developing new styles and sewing quality hats.
How to choose according to the shape of the face?
At first glance, the choice of a hat may seem like a trifle, but it was not. The headgear must be chosen in accordance with the type of face, since the shape of the hat greatly affects the visual outlines.
For girls with an elongated oval face hats that cover the forehead are perfect, as well as voluminous hats or models with a lapel, which will help to make the face wider, symmetrical and pretty.
Girls with an oval face shape they can be calm and without a shadow of a doubt choose absolutely any model of a hat. It is worth noting that a turban hat will look the most beautiful.
Girls with a round and slightly full face can afford hats with vertical knitted elements, be it braids or fur stripes. Hats with a brim five centimeters wide, as well as a jockey hat, are also well suited.
Square face type needs a predominance of soft, sophisticated lines, so round hats, berets, scarves and hats - socks will ideally correct the shape of the face.
What to wear with?
You can wear hats with absolutely any outerwear, the main thing is to choose the right combination. For example, sports models of hats do not go well with sophisticated sheepskin coats, fur coats and coats. It is better to choose sports down jackets or parkas for such products.
Feminine knits are suitable for any option, while classic fur hats require an exclusively fur top in the form of an elegant fur coat.
Scarves should also be chosen wisely and light thin scarves should be combined with bulky hats, and you can choose a fluffy knitted scarf for tight and flat hats.
