For a woman, a headdress is not only protection of the head and hair in the cold or windy season, but also an important accessory that sometimes “makes” the whole image. The hat should be aesthetic, certainly go to its owner, decorate it, as well as be fashionable and stylish.
In the spring-autumn season 2016, designers offer young ladies many options for hats. A variety of shapes, models, styles and shades will allow each woman to find her hat.
Fashion models and news
This season, at the peak of fashion, hats with pom-poms, which migrated into an adult wardrobe from a children's one. Yes, they still look somewhat naive and frivolous, but this is what the designers are striving for. Hats of soft knitting, pastel colors adorn both young ladies and older ladies.
A hat with a fluffy pompom is not necessarily an element of a sporty style. Such a hat fits well with the image of a city fashionista and combines with a jacket and a coat, coat or lightweight sheepskin coat. If the hat has a plain, calm color, you can pin a brooch on the lapel, which will add an image of femininity and elegance.
Another fashionable headdress in the off-season 2016 is the snood hat. Millions of fashionistas all over the world have appreciated that Snood goes to absolutely everyone, does not spoil the hairstyle and fits into any look. In addition, in the room such a scarf hat does not need to be carried in hands, it is enough to lower the snood on the shoulders.
A popular modification of the headgear is warmed headphones. This accessory is appreciated by girls worrying about styling or simply not loving tight-fitting hats. Headphones protect ears well from wind and cold, look super-feminine and romantic.
The advantage of the headphones is that they immediately act as decorations - the headbands on such products are decorated with rhinestones, ribbons, beautiful embroidery, beads, sparkling stones and other decor. The "ears" themselves can be made of fur, be knitted or knitted.
This year, the retro style returned to the trend, which is unthinkable without berets. Voluminous and compact, from different types of fabric, they go to almost all the young ladies. Beret is, in principle, one of the most elegant and elegant women's hats.
The beret can be coquettishly moved to the side or lowered below the bangs, purchased a voluminous version that will go down to the very neck or choose a tiny beret that nominally protects from the cold, but creates a stylish look.
A fashionable option for strong and energetic ladies is a hat-cap. There are several options too: both leather caps that clearly hold their shape, and soft-top caps similar to a beret with a visor, and men's-style caps with a straight visor and special lapels to warm your ears.
Another model of hats that are at the cutting edge of fashion is a sock hat. These models are created specifically to complement the casual look. Stylists offer several options for wearing such hats - either by moving them to the back of the head so that the voluminous part looks almost like a hood, or vice versa, lowering the hat to the very eyebrows. In this case, the back of the cap will stick out like a cap. The sock hat can also be twisted one or two times, turning it into a regular hat, which sits quite tightly on the head.
A modification of such a headdress is a beanie hat, which also has a voluminous back, but unlike a sock hat, it is folded. Some models have a button fastener or a strap with which you can adjust the volume.
For women from 40 years old
Often women over this age are lost when choosing a headgear. It seems to them that fashionable models are no longer for them, but those that seem to be suitable for age are too old. Let’s figure out which option will be the best.
First of all, it is worth taking a closer look at such a model as a turban hat. This is a very original headdress that draws attention to the eyes and makes the whole image sophisticated and oriental feminine.
Another option is a hat-cap or “pie”, similar to a headdress for royal hunting. As a rule, such models are sewn of dense wool, natural or artificial fur, trimmed to a minimum length. Such a hat will emphasize a beautiful neck and will look great both with a “floor” coat and a short jacket.
If you are looking at a simpler option, you should pay attention to the usual knitted hats without lapels.
A good choice would be and takes - an adult lady he will present sophistication and French charm.
An ideal headdress for ladies after forty is a cloche hat. This model has the shape of a bell and is very popular thanks to Coco Chanel, who was very fond of such hats.
An equally sophisticated version is a miniature “cap” hat, which, although it does not protect from the wind, will create the image of a real English lady.
Material
Despite the fact that the cap is more related to such an accessory that is changed after one or two seasons, you should not deny yourself the purchase of a warm and high-quality product.
When choosing a knitted hat, it is worth giving preference to models of high-quality yarn: wool, alpaca, mohair, cashmere. Angora hats show themselves perfectly - they are delicate, very cozy and wonderful to warm.
Combinations of fur, leather or suede are permissible in the off-season, in such cold months as March or November. Fur hats always look very feminine and luxurious, plus you can look at models with short fur, appropriate even in the absence of snow.
Caps made of fine smooth knitwear look beautiful.These hats lie gently on the hair and, as it were, “hug” the head, not squeezing it, but also not giving extra volume. If the volume is needed, you can choose a large knit hat, especially since now they are very fashionable. "Braids", "lines", "loops" and "ladders" - the main thing in such caps is texture, and designers are happy to offer many options to choose from.
Color
Neutral shades are fashionable this season, complex in their own right. Champagne, beige, coffee with milk, pale pink or ash gray - shades of “nude” at the peak of popularity. More traditional colors that are out of fashion trends do not give up their positions: snow white, dark blue, charcoal black.
Young ladies who prefer richer options, stylists offer hats of such colors as wine, orange, green, shades of juicy berries, royal blue, khaki, ocher, rich purple, sunny yellow.
A hat, by the way, is that element of the wardrobe that can and should be matched to eye color. So, gray-eyed ladies are suitable lemon shades, the color of a tea rose, lilac, silver shade of crushed ice, graphite. Blue-eyed women will look great in golden hats, honey or bronze, in shades of cobalt, caramel, copper or cinnamon.
The owners of green eyes will emphasize their beauty by wearing a hat of raspberry color, plum, bright orange or brick. All shades of green are good: asparagus, emerald, olive, swamp. For young ladies with brown eyes, blue shades are suitable: topaz, sapphire, forget-me-not, as well as chocolate and coffee shades.
What to wear?
Headgear, first of all, should be combined with your basic outerwear. Neutral hats from knitwear or wool of fine knitting will suit the coat, berets and snoods will look good. With a shortened leather jacket, you can put on a beanie or sock hat, as well as a cap.
If the clothes have fur elements, you can choose a hat with fur or a hat made of suede. Sports jackets will look great paired with a hat with a pompom or fur headphones.
Important additions are a scarf and gloves. If there was no scarf in the kit, you should choose a variant of a similar color or, on the contrary, a contrast one. It is important that the products fit each other in volume as well - a too lush scarf will eclipse a thin hat, and a voluminous cap will not benefit too much from the neighborhood with a thin scarf. With regards to gloves - models from black thin leather that are suitable for everything will be a win-win option. But you can pick up gloves to match the headdress, then you get a whole and harmonious ensemble.
The images

The gray turban is in perfect harmony with the loose t-shirt of the asphalt color, and the black leather jacket turns the image from pretentious into a charmingly hooligan.
