Autumn is hat season: Popular hat models for her & him

Autumn is hat season – When it comes to hats, opinions often differ: For some, it’s an irrelevant accessory that is rarely seen outside of Western clubs or carnival events in this country. For others, however, it’s a fashion highlight that completes a stylish wardrobe. This target group is sure to look forward to autumn with particular joy, as there is hardly another season that offers more pleasure in combining different outfits with the right hat. In addition, the hat has a practical use in autumn. It protects against light cold when a winter hat would be too warm, but also keeps a few raindrops at bay and can even offer a bit of protection from falling chestnuts or acorns.

Women’s models: A wide range of hats

Women’s hats for the autumn season are mainly made from traditional hat materials such as felt or wool, but there are now also a number of models made from innovative and sustainable textile materials that are, for example, water-repellent yet breathable at the same time.

Elegant fedoras, round caps and bucket hats

For a longer, tailored wool coat, combined with boots, half boots or classic pumps, classic-elegant hat models such as Fedora or Trilby are primarily recommended. Nostalgic-playful bell hats or round, brimless caps, on the other hand, are the perfect complements if a straight-cut, shorter cocktail dress in the style of the 1920s is hidden underneath the coat, ideally styled in a stilettish manner with Mary Janes.

For casual and sporty outfits, Bucket Hats, lightly lined baseball caps or also Pork Pies are a good choice in the autumn, provided you don’t have the opportunity to escape the cold and grey season by fleeing to warmer regions.

These hat models are available to you in the autumn:

  • Classically elegant: Fedora and Tilby
  • Nostalgically playful: bell hats and brimless caps
  • Casually sporty: Bucket Hats, baseball caps and Pork Pies

As for gray: When the sky predominantly appears in this color, a woman’s hat in warm or perhaps even bright colors naturally suits particularly well to brighten the mood a bit.

Fascinator: Hats in England as part of formal attire

When it comes to the range of hats, many hat enthusiasts have probably longed for Great Britain more than once. Because in hardly any other country in the world have hats become as firmly established as part of formal attire as across the English Channel. If a “real” hat is not to be worn by the women, then the outfit is at least completed by a suitable and often very imaginatively designed Fascinator.

Men’s models remain rather conservative

Although classic models dominate in men’s hats, the British also benefit from a more diverse range in this segment compared to many other countries. Those looking for a similarly large selection of women’s or men’s hats here will find it in only a few department stores or specialty shops. However, you can also find great ideas for hats for all seasons online.

Hats as a Fashion Statement and Expression of Individuality

The times when rejecting hat-wearing was associated with a commitment to modernity are long gone. Men who wear hats today do so mainly as a fashion statement and expression of individual style. Similar to shoes, business clothing, or evening wear, men’s hat fashion tends to be more conservative than women’s.

Classic Borsalino, durable leather hats, and baseball caps

For an autumn or winter outfit, classic styles such as a Borsalino, a Fedora, or a Bogart hat are particularly suitable, all of which have a brim of at least moderate width. Preferred materials are also felt or wool, almost exclusively in muted, darker colors. For outdoor activities, many men also like to wear sturdy leather hats, which have traditionally been very popular in the USA, Canada, and Australia. They pair perfectly with jeans, parkas, or leather jackets and sturdy boots. However, these hat models should not be combined with a formal business outfit, although this does occasionally happen in America and Australia. The same applies to baseball caps and other more sporty headwear.

The most popular men’s models summarized:

  • In autumn and winter: Borsalino, Fedora & Bogart
  • For outdoor activities: leather hats
  • Casual-sporty: baseball caps
