Best Hats for Women

Plush Life

We have the likes of Rihanna, Dua Lipa, and Miley Cyrus to thank for the furry hat phenomenon. From colorful Emma Brewin buckets to plush muffler-style hats, meant to be as functional when the weather drops as they are chic. Brands of all sizes, including the likes of popular outerwear brand, Stand Studio and luxury house Fendi have put their own spin on the trend, which means ample choices when shopping for a style tailored to your personal aesthetic. The key to pulling off the look is keeping the rest of the look pared-back to let the statement-making piece speak for itself.

Smooth Criminal

Gone are the days where wide brims are reserved for straw hats and warm-weather occasions. Consider bringing a wool or felt variations into your arsenal. The posh silhouette has been made modern by the likes of Janessa Leone and Binata Millinery, an NYC-based shop paying homage to old-world craftsmanship with its handmade hats. In terms of wearability, the smooth-criminal design works just as well with tailored separates and collared shirt as it does with a classic jeans and T-shirt combination.

From wide-brimmed lampshade styles to compact pillbox hats designed to sit ever so slightly on the top of your head, the dramatic silhouettes reminiscent of old world couture were plentiful this season.

Return Of the Baker Boy Cap

A more structured version of the newspaper boy cap that Bella Hadid made popular years ago, baker boy caps in all forms are slated to be big, yet again, for spring 2022. Though luxury hat brand, Rulsan Baginskiy has pretty much dominated the market with the countless iterations of the design in its core collections, names like Dior and Isabel Marant have created their own iterations, which are perfect for minimalists who are looking for something a bit more subtle.
