The hat (or cap) belongs to those accessories that are often left without attention of most men. Unfortunately, these men simply don’t understand the importance of hats in their wardrobe. In fact, a good and correctly selected hat can change and emphasize the general look of a man. There’re hats for both informal and chic occasions.

Casual Hats (Ascot Caps, Cuffley, Kangol, and Bucket Hats)

The most popular brands of the ascot or flat caps include Kangol or Bailey's; unfortunately, other high-quality manufacturers that have no designer labels take an important place in the market and are chosen by millions of men all over the world due to their hats’ high-rate materials including felt, wool, or suede.

The ascot caps look especially great if added with more laid back outfit. The low profile of the cap perfectly matches somewhat understated, laid back style, generally, the ascot cap represents rather common styles of strong young and old men. The ascot cap is popular among writers, artists, and musicians.

As for the Bucket hats, they are often used for commercial purposes, aren’t used for decorative ...
... functions, but more for sun protection.

Traditional and Regional Hats (Cowboy Hat, Top Hat, and the Fedora)

A top hat was specially designed for such formal occasions as weddings, galas, balls, or proms. This kind of hat however is often disliked, that’s why it’s seldom used for everyday life. Nevertheless, you can find real fans of top hats who wear them on an everyday basis.

As for the cowboy hat it probably has the longest history and was born in the very heart of the American psyche. The cowboy hat was worn many years ago and it continues to be proud of its popularity nowadays. Today, it’s worn in some places casually, for instance, in the province of Alberta, Canada or in Texas. In other states of the USA as well as in other countries of the world, the cowboy isn’t considered to be a stylish choice except for in a poker room or country music bar.

But the fedora has attracted many men and is considered really fashionable today. It was first designed decades of years ago and has been loved by many generations (except for the 70's) and is still thought of to be extremely trendy in the contemporary life not only among old men but also young guys who prefer to add their informal or elegant outfits with such hats.

Earlier, the fedora was available only in monochrome shades, but today it can have plaids and pinstripes. Most of men prefer fedoras with grey or bright white stripes over a black base.

As you can see, there’re many kind of hats which can be used either just to cover a bald or balding head or just to add to the general person’s style. Any modern man should have a few fashionable hats to fit different outfits. This excellent accessory will not only enrich your wardrobe but make your life more diverse and interesting.
