Hat models and names: all kinds of headgear you can’t help but love

Types of headgear: how to know and recognize the various hat models, among different brims, shapes and styles, from the cap to the stupid.

But how many types of headgear are there? The hat is an accessory that gives many joys but also some pain to women all over the world. Between wide or narrow brims, visors, beautiful but uncomfortable shapes, others that are very comfortable but not very appreciable: there are hundreds of hat models, and it is important to know them all to make the best choices depending on the occasion! If you can't distinguish a fedora from a straw hat, maybe it's time for a review. Here are the names of hats that you just can't not know!

Types of hats: models without a brim

Let's start with the cap most loved by kids who follow street style, the baseball cap . This is the typical hat with visor used by baseball players, but also by lovers of hip hop culture.

Often we know the names, but we can't connect them to the actual type of headdress. For who doesn't know what a Basque is? Having almost become a political symbol for the iconic image of Che Guevara, it's a hat that actually connects above all to the French imagination and to an elegant and artistic style suitable for the most beautiful walks in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower!

Directly from cold Russia, however, we have the fur hat, one of the most suitable hats to protect yourself from the cold. It is a headgear with large ear protections, a very warm and basically fur padding.

Then there is the beanie, also known as a headset (or in some areas as a zuccotto), a great classic that is difficult to identify in Italian. It is the typical winter hat, a pampering for the head thanks to the wool and cashmere with which it is made.

Then there is the bucket hat, known by most as a fisherman's hat. A model that comes back into fashion every few years, always finding new life. Now it seems to fit especially those looking for an urban look.

The cloche , a typical 1920s headgear, is similar in shape to the previous one. It is an elegant cap that resembles a bell, and fits perfectly with a certain outfit. Here is an irresistible model :

For those who feel noble at heart, and not only that, the most suitable headgear is the pillbox , a small rigid-shaped hat that rests on the head, giving a look that is not only vintage, but also chic. Or more. Seeing is believing:

And we close this first roundup with the stupida , a hat that looks like the typical flat cap of Sicily, but with a more structured shape and with a strictly visible visor . Its name comes from that of a military cap.

Models of women's hats with narrow or wide brims

If there are many models of hats without brims, there are even more with wide or narrow brims. Among these, let's start with the pamela . It is usually a straw hat, characterized by a flat and very wide brim, ideal for those who do not want to be hit by a ray of sunlight.

Similar, but rigorously made of straw (at least for the warm months), is the boater hat, another headgear with an averagely wide brim but softer than the previous one.

For more elegant occasions, and not necessarily for the beach, one of the most popular wide-brimmed hats is the fedora , capable of breaking up jeans or biker outfits. It should be emphasized that in this case the name changes if the brim is 6 centimeters. If it increases to 8, it is a fedora , while the name trilby is given to hats with a very narrow brim.
