Aviator/Trapper Hats
If you want a hat that’s tough and rugged, look no further than the trapper! This style was worn by frontiersmen and mountain climbers to protect against harsh winds.
Fedoras
Inspired by a French play named “Fédora.” where a princess of the same name wore a stylish, soft-brimmed hat. She became iconic for this look, and women all over France had to have a fedora of their own!
Trilby Hats
You need a keen eye not to confuse a trilby with a fedora. The main difference isn’t in the look, but in how the hats are worn. Trilby hats have a shorter brim, which is tilted down in the front. Fedoras, on the other hand, have a wider brim and are meant to be worn at a more level angle.
Newsboys/Flat Caps
It’s hard to imagine, but there was a time before the internet where you had to pick up a newspaper for the latest gossip. Newsboys handed these out on the streets, wearing puffy flat caps or hats with a small visor on the front. Today, these hats are a major part of the fashion world.
