What types of hats and caps are good for everyday wear?

From ultra-formal to breezy and casual, hats and caps have been popular and stylish accessories for an array of outfits for centuries. Whether you’re looking for a fitted hat to match your custom-tailored suit for a wedding or gala, something fun and festive for your collection of big hats for summertime, or something simple such as a baseball cap for women or men to wear to your kid’s games, shops on Etsy have you—and your head—covered. The independent designers on Etsy offer modern custom hats, carefully restored vintage caps, and everything in between. An American tradition, baseball caps are one of the most common hats worn worldwide. These simple grab-and-go hats are great for casual events or everyday errands. A standard baseball cap for men or women has a curved brim attached to six quarter panels ending in a button at the top. There are various other styles of baseball caps, including trucker hats, which have a seamless front panel with a pinched crown and plastic mesh side and rear panels. Original and vintage trucker caps are popular additions to casual outfits. Typically made from wool or cotton, beanie hats or slouchy hats , are knitted and close-fitting caps intended to provide warmth for your head in cold weather. There are various types of this winter hat style, including stocking caps, which are longer, and watch caps, which typically are made from dark wool and rolled above the ears. The ultimate symbol of the 1990s, bucket hats are trendy, casual hats for everyday wear. Typically made from cotton, twill, polyester, or canvas, these soft, wide-brimmed hats are easy to roll up and take with you on any adventure. They feature a flat crown and floppy brim, and occasionally include a chin strap or loops around the base of the crown to stow small gear. Boaters or Panama hats have been a popular summer-hat style for poolsides, beaches, or summer outings for decades. The brims on these sun hats typically fall between 2 and 3 inches. They come in a variety of colors and patterns, and are often made from paper braids or straw. The crowns of Panama hats are usually uniform and rounded. Iconic cowboy hats are made from felt, leather, or straw and have wide brims. The brim is often turned up at the sides and the crown features a pinch in a “C” or teardrop shape with a center dent. You can dress a cowboy hat up or down, depending on the style, embellishments, and material. The ivy cap, or flat cap , is a trendy, youthful hat style. It features a low profile, similar to a newsboy cap , with a slightly rounded top that extends to the front of the hat and is sewn in place to the bill. They’re generally made from wool or cotton. Flat caps got their name because when placed on a table with the crown folded underneath, they sit flat against the surface. Used while showering or bathing to protect hair from getting wet, shower caps work to prevent frizz, style destruction, and breakage. You also can use shower caps to keep moisture in, allow for deep penetration of moisturizer or conditioner, or protect your hair while sleeping. They feature a large, loose crown and an elastic band that holds the cap to your head.

What styles of hats and caps are best for special occasions?

Special occasions are the perfect times to pull out all the stops when it comes to accessorizing with hats and caps. Whether you’re headed to a formal murder-mystery party set in a bygone era, an adorable garden tea party to celebrate your friend’s engagement, or a highly-formal wedding requiring a perfect ensemble from head to toe, shops on Etsy have the styles you need for that amazing finishing touch. Here are some ideas for formal hats and caps to wear on special occasions: Bowler: A callback to silent films and centuries past, a bowler hat is a fun and eye-catching addition to a three-piece suit, chic fall outfit, or a steampunk outfit for your next convention. They’re typically constructed from felt and have a rounded crown with a slightly upturned brim. Cloche: A close-fitting bell-shaped hat, cloches have become increasingly popular. The brim extends down at an angle with a slight flare at the bottom, often with an embellishment around the crown, such as a ribbon or leather strap. They have a vintage feel, especially when paired with a skirt suit, flapper-style dress, or layered pearls. Fascinator: A headband-style hat with an elaborate bow on the top, fascinators were popularized at English royal weddings and special occasions. Occasionally referred to as cocktail hats, fascinators add flair, extravagance, and a touch of timelessness to any cocktail dress. Fedora: Classic and classy, fedora hats cover a range of crown styles and brim shapes. They’re typically characterized by a short to mid-sized brim that turns up in the back. You can turn the front up or down, depending on the design. Some fedoras, known as snap brims, allow you to flip the brim up or down. A casual version of the fedora is a straw hat made from loose woven straw or straw-like material, perfect for relaxed special occasions in the summer. Graduation cap: A traditional accessory associated with the completion of an educational degree, graduation caps are a symbol of freedom from school and celebration of the next phase of life. They’re almost always paired with graduation gowns in matching colors and feature a flat, square crown piece, tassel, and soft sides that encircle the head. Custom caps for graduation add a personal touch to your monumental moment of achievement. Top hat: Iconic and bold, the top hat traditionally pairs with formal suits featuring coattails. Today, you can wear them at formal events or for novelty occasions as the last piece of an epic costume at your next cosplay convention or your first horse-racing event or party. The design features a large, sometimes convex crown and a short to medium brim. Traditional vintage top hats are made using silk.
