Heads Up, Hats On: The Perfect Headgear for Sartorial Emergencies

At some point in time, the fashion gods looked down on us amid our worst hair days and said, “give us your tired hair and rough morning and we’ll give you a hat to fix the worst of your sartorial problems.”

From classic cloches to securing fedoras, get familiar with the hats that will save your style emergencies.

Sound Sleeper

The alarm that keeps your mornings in check has betrayed you again. Whether you forgot to set it or you slept right through it, you woke up late and are now on an abbreviated beauty regime.  For the days when there’s no time to tame your mane, conceal your curls with a cloche or wide-brimmed fedora. Perfect for enclosing and directing frizzy locks, the cloche’s belled shape conceals the worst case of bedhead with a stylish finish. For voluminous tendrils, stick to a hat with wider coverage, like a fedora, to mask the mess.

Problematic Pimples

When your smooth complexion is interrupted by problematic pimples, reach for a cap that will keep you covered. Be it sporty or utilitarian, look for a bill that fits your needs. Play up textiles like denim, leather and suede for a variation of looks that stray from sporty. Wanting additional coverage? Opt for a curved bill that will distract from insecure areas on your face. For added flair, look for details like quilted stitching and embellishments.

Style Saver

Have an outfit that’s falling flat? Elevate your basics with a statement hat that brings a spark to your ensemble. Go luxe with a leather hat that will take your look to an edgier side, or stay soft and sweet with a sweeping straw hat that will keep you looking and feeling cool. Whatever your choice, be mindful of breathability and color. While a porous hat will keep you chilled during scorching temps, it’s not optimal in wet weather.
Wear it to: Brunch with your family.
