Men’s Hats

John B. Stetson designed the hat based on Mexican vaqueros hats. According to the National Cowboy Museum, the hat went through several designs before landing on the classic look we know today. It became popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries for its durability, but few people wore it during the Wild West era.

Fedora

Love it or hate it, the Fedora has stood the test of time. Going from the hat of choice for gangsters in the 1920s and 1950s to a hipster staple item in the 2000s, Fedoras is probably one of the most polarizing men’s accessories. Today the felt firm-brimmed hat is once again on-trend and a fantastic wardrobe addition. Although fedoras come in various sizes and colors, we’d suggest sticking to those with more neutral tones and medium widths.

Trilby

Despite often being confused with a fedora, a triby is a different type of hat. Made from tweed or straw, the Trilby features a smaller brim and taller crown than the fedora, meaning you can wear it from spring to autumn. Wear the trilby at the back of your head, instead of pulled forward to protect your face. It is a statement fashion piece rather than a functional hat.  They are the hats of choice for boy band members, such as Justin Timberlake, as well as members of the upper class, and are frequently spotted at horse racing events around the world.

Panama Hat

A Panama hat is perfect when paired with a beach backdrop and a white linen shirt. This traditional brimmed straw hat hails from Ecuador and will have you looking as hot as a Miami summer. Made from plaited leaves, the Panama hat has become a must-have accessory for seaside and tropical destinations. Panamas are made for sunshine and blue skies, so don’t try to rock this hat in winter. They are light in color and weight, breathable, easy to wear, and faultlessly fit with a laid-back beach style.

Bowler

The bowler hat is one of the most iconic items of British style, made famous by notable actors such as Charlie Chaplin, Curly Howard, and John Cleese. It is a hard, felt hat with a narrow brim and is also commonly known as a derby. This hat is a favorite of the upper, middle, and working-class alike, but we would steer clear of wearing it casually. Try out this trend with double-breasted suits, tailored pants, dress shoes, a vintage Corvette, or a British accent. That type of thing.

Cowboy

Need we say more? Everyone knows what a Cowboy hat is, if you watched any Western Movie. Just like John Wayne, Tom Selleck, Clint Eastwood wore. or Marshal Dillon in Gun Smoke.
