Women’s Hat Styles

Gone are the days when hats were merely functional accessories to shield women’s faces from the scorching sun or biting winter winds. Nowadays, women’s hat styles have expanded beyond their utilitarian purpose, becoming visionary symbols of personal style and self-expression. From the glamorous and extravagant to the understated and elegant, there is a vast array of hat styles that cater to every woman’s taste. Whether you’re a fashion-forward trendsetter or a classic enthusiast, this article will take you on a sartorial journey through the fascinating world of women’s hat styles, unveiling a plethora of options that are as diverse as the women who wear them. Get ready to explore the incredible range of headwear and discover how these enigmatic pieces can transform any outfit, making a statement that is entirely your own.

Womens Western Hat Styles

These are the two main hat shapes that women in western countries tend to wear, and some notes on how they wear them.

Women’s Cowboy Hats

A cowboy hat has a high crown and a wide, upturned brim on either side. Cowboy hats are unisex, but bright colors with decorative hatbands, bows and ribbons are typically more popular among females. The front brim of a lady’s cowboy hat is narrower than the back, and they are made of leather, straw, and felt.

Women’s Fedora Hat

The fedora is an incredibly versatile lady’s hat style. You can wear one over unwashed hair with jeans to the farmer’s market. Alternatively, you can wear it with a pinstripe pantsuit on date night, or walking the red carpet into a benefit or ball. Here are the different factors to consider when styling a fedora.

• Brim – Some versions can have a floppy brim, while others are stiffer. A stiff brim works well worn halo style, while you can snap down a flexible brim over your eye line. Fedora brims are typically at least three inches wide.
• Hairstyle – Fedoras work well with loose hair handing, or in a low bun just below the brim line. Fedoras have at least a 4.5-inch crown, so they make you look taller, especially in heels.
• Color – Traditional fedoras are black, gray, brown, or white. You can add some flair by choosing a unique color like purple or red. Lately, fedoras with bright-colored edge trim and red under brims have become quite popular. More on this later.
• Tilt – The classic look is with the fedora centered on the head. However, you can go for more of a “Casablanca” style and tilt the tip to one side.

Women’s Straw Hats

Straw Panama Hats for Women

When considering the Panama hat vs fedoras, they are actually very similar, except that Panama hats are made of straw from the Jipijapa plant. Most Panama hats are natural straw color, but you can find them in white, brown, black options, too.

The trilby hat is like a smaller version of a fedora with a narrower, fixed brim. Trilby brims are less than two inches wide. So a trilby is more of a fashion accessory because it doesn’t protect you from the sun or rain. Women’s trilby hats often have bows and decorative hatbands. Trilbies may be made of straw and felt, but we make a leather trilby as well.

Floppy Hats for Women

Floppy Sun Hats for the Beach

Another term for this hat is the harvest hat or lifeguard hat, which is designed to protect your face from the sun. Typically, a floppy sun hat will cover the entire head and some of the shoulders. Brim widths are often wider than four inches, and these hats are made from straw with beaded hatbands.

Floppy Fedora Hat Made Out of Felt

Traditional fedoras have a two to three-inch brim. A floppy fedora hat will be on the wider end of the spectrum, but the brim won’t be as stiff.

Floppy Winter Hats

Winter hats are often made of felt or wool to help keep the head warm. Floppy winter hats may also have an adjustable brim so that they curve up or down in the front and back.

Bucket Hats for Women

Designer Bucket Hats

The grandchild of the cloche, bucket hats fit snug on the head with a down-turned flexible brim. Buckets are the rage these days. Gucci, Fendi, Kate Spade, Prada, Dior, and Burberry all make bucket hats. Sometimes, the hat will simply have the designer’s logo on it. Other times, the hat will have a unique print like the Coach signature handbags. These bags are easily identified by the traditional “C” logo pattern, or the popular Gucci print pattern with interlocking “Gs.”

Crochet Bucket Hats

Bucket hats are relatively easy to crochet, thanks to their simplistic design. The weave can be tight or loose, and hatmakers may incorporate different colors of yarn. Crochet is informal and works well for a garden party or a walk in Central Park.

Fur Bucket Hats

These hats use real or fake fur, and work well in winter because they keep you warm. These hats are often black or brown, but you can find other colors or designs, such as a leopard print version.

Red Brim Hats

Hats With Red Under Brim

Fedoras with red under the brim are quite popular these days. The crown and top of the brim is black, brown, white, and the bottom of the brim is bright red.

Hat With Red Brim

Just because a hat has a red brim doesn’t mean the rest of the hat has to be red. Our red-brimmed hat styles come with leather crows, which have become quite popular.

Hats with Bright-Colored Edge Trim Ribbon Sewn around the Brim

One of the easiest ways to add color to a hat is to add a bright ribbon edge trim around the brim. And this hat style has become quite popular as well. Hats with bright edge trim are available in the following shapes:

• Fedora
• Boater
• Trilby

Cute Baseball Hats

Bling Baseball Hats

A bling baseball hat is decorated with flashy custom jewelry and rhinestones. These are often made from metallic surface fabric as well.

Pink Baseball Hats

These baseball hats can either be plain pink, or they might represent a specific sports team. Many teams offer pink versions of their hats for women.

Trendy Baseball Hats

“Trendy” can mean different things to different people. In some cases, trendy might mean a designer logo on a hat. In other instances, baseball hats can be made of unique materials, like denim, straw, or felt. We even make a leather bucket hat that’s one of our best-sellers.
