Cap, beret, capeline, panama, … the hat, we dare it and we assume it on a daily basis. If you wear it more easily in summer, there is no question of forgetting it when the first clouds appear. Quite the contrary.

Autumn is here and winter is already making itself felt, so we give way to winter hats thicker and warmer. To those who will protect us from the cold or the rain, while finishing our style with brilliance.

The cloche hat, for a touch of vintage

Coco Chanel adored it in the 1920s:the cloche hat . Somewhat forgotten in French fashion over the last few decades, it is however coming back to the fore to bring women a retro and vintage style .

Usually made of felt , the cloche hat goes with everything. A classic outfit, or a little more elaborate. Without having to take out the black dress with fringe.

The wide-brimmed hat, for a chic look

It too is mainly found in felt when it has been chosen in the autumn-winter collection, otherwise in wool. The capeline is distinguished by its very wide and floating edges. With long, slightly disheveled hair, or with tapered bangs, the capeline will be perfect for an ultra-feminine look.

The beret, for a Parisian style

This winter, the beret is dusting itself off . We choose it black or beige for a classic and timeless look. Mustard yellow or burgundy for a more autumnal look. Although it will never be as warm as a beanie, the wool beret is ideal for tackling the winter breeze in style.

Tips for wearing it correctly while avoiding clichés:Choose your beret loose enough, to wear it slightly bent over the back of the head. And above all, leave your hair loose, whether short or long.

The bowler hat, for the British side

And yes, who would have thought? The bowler hat is also making a comeback on the French fashion scene . A little more complicated to wear than other models, the bowler hat is reserved for those who have a strong style. We wear it with a slip dress and leather boots. Or with a very feminine tuxedo.

The Irish cap, à la Peaky Blinders

Flat and wide, the Irish cap gained its pedigree in the 14th century . At the time, it was very quickly worn by upper-class men in Great Britain. Since then, it has often been noticed taped to the heads of farmers, but not only. Today, we borrow the Irish woolen cap to forge an elegant, English style . We pair it with a chunky knit sweater or with a long coat. And if it's a chic look you're looking for, then, for men, pair it with a three-piece suit in corduroy or wool.

Choose your hat correctly

Knowing the different types of hat at your fingertips is good. Knowing how to choose the right one according to your face is even better.

  • For square and angular faces, we prefer a round hat with wide brims . The capeline, the cloche hat or the bowler hat are those to be preferred.
  • The elongated faces , they must favor a hat that will bring volume , like the capeline or the Fedora hat. On the other hand, if in addition to being elongated the face is very thin, then we avoid wide-brimmed hats at the risk of refining the face even more.
  • For heart-shaped faces, we turn to the bowler hat or the cloche hat .
  • The round faces , for their part, must reduce the curves by opting for a hat with raised edges. We play with the width of the edges and we dare to go big! Forget the bowler hat when you have a round face.

Final tips? If you have a wide forehead or a large nose, tilt your hat slightly forward so as not to highlight these elements. And if you have protruding ears, then you prefer a wide-brimmed hat to hide them, or at least divert attention.
