How To Choose The Right Vintage Hats For Any Outfit

By Stephen Patterson


Fashion styles change over time but certain accessories remain popular. If you love the idea of adding in vintage elements, hats can be a fun way to do so. Vintage hats can vary greatly in terms of style and size so choosing the right one for your outfit is important. Here are some things to consider when picking which topper you will wear.

Once you start delving into the history of headgear you may be amazed at how many different styles there are to choose from. This is because people have been wearing these items for a very long time. As clothing styles changed so did what they wore on their heads. A vintage piece can instantly connect your outfit to a bygone era. It is also not uncommon for people to wear new styles to sporting and social events such as weddings, races and festivals.

If you are just starting to collect headgear, you may not know where to look for truly vintage pieces. Often thrift shops will have some to choose from. There are also websites that will feature reproductions of more classic styles as well. Some estate sales or auctions may have some available as well. You may want to do some research before you attend these kinds of events so you know what you are looking for.

When you do decide to wear a piece it is important to think about what the weather will be like. There are different options that are better suited to specific seasons. Classic straw pieces will usually look best when the weather is warmer. This is because they were designed to keep sun off of the wearer's face while allowing heat to escape.

Everyone has seen someone who has overloaded their ensemble with vintage or unusual pieces. It can be difficult to figure out where to focus on and, as a result, people do not get the same kind of attention on a particular part of their outfit. If you want people to focus on your hat, try balancing a vintage piece with well-tailored, neutral, more modern clothing items. You can often coordinate using colors or patterns that match your headgear in order to make your outfit look even more closely tied together.

You may also want to consider what kind of an event you are attending. For example, if you are attending a wedding or other event where you may be more dressed up, a fancier hat may be a better choice than one that is more casual. Women often have a wider range of options to choose from but men do have some variety here as well.

Caring for your piece is important. For example, you need to know how to store a particular piece properly so that it is not damaged by heat, light or humidity. You also need to know how to clean it properly if it becomes soiled. Over time, hats can become brittle and damaged unless they are looked after in the right way.

When you wear your vintage piece, do not be surprised if people stop you to comment on your choice. Often, classic or antique pieces are not seen on a regular basis and people may be curious where you purchased it and what the story behind it is. No matter what, wear your chosen piece with pride and hold your head up high.
