Men's summer hats: types and tips for choosing

The headpiece is relevant at any time of the year. In winter and autumn it protects from the cold, in spring from bad weather, and in summer from the scorching sun and wind.

It should be admitted that most modern Russian males wear a headdress out of necessity, not at the behest of fashion or style... The main problem is that some men find it difficult to match a hat to their clothes. But the range of offers is wide enough. Let's analyze the main points and nuances that may arise when choosing a men's summer headdress.

Summer hats are the hardest part. Many representatives of the stronger sex rejected the need for this accessory until recently. Now the situation is slowly but surely changing in favor of the need for hats.

• Cap (or peakless cap) popular with most men. Made of thin fabric, the cap will perfectly protect your head from the sun, and the absence of a visor makes it a versatile option for most looks. Sometimes caps are supplemented with buttons or small metal emblems of the manufacturer. This option is convenient in that it is not necessary to wear it with a tracksuit, while it does not attract much attention, like, for example, a hat. Most modern Russians are quite satisfied with this, this fact makes the caps among middle-aged men to the rank of the most popular.

• Baseball cap is not an unconditional representative of sports style, but it still did not advance beyond the service uniform. The majority of fans of this type of headwear are young people and athletes.

• Hat is the most underrated headgear among Russian men. It is difficult to find it both in the off-season and in the summer. It is most often used only on the beach and on vacation, in an urban environment it is not so often seen. The more common a hat is used, the wider its brim. For a beach holiday, straw options are usually used. Fabric models, especially in combination with everyday clothes, are demonstrated only by the most daring representatives of our time.

• Fedora hat has a more presentable appearance. Wide brim, slightly curved forward and raised at the back, oblige to wear it with a suit and shirt. It has a fairly dense structure, most often it is made of felt.

• Panama has a lighter shape and narrow margins, usually curved downwards. Panama is most often perceived as an independent fabric or knitted type of headdress, and not as a hat itself. Panama is applicable in everyday use as an addition to youth style or summer vacation. The beach can also be a place to wear this headgear. The wider the fields of Panama, the less binding it is. Also, the fields provide excellent protection from wind and sun.

• Trilby formed from Fedora. Her margins are quite narrow compared to Fedora, and her image is more formal than Panama. The crown is slightly lower, with three valleys. Usually made of thick fabric.

• Cowboy hat was originally positioned as a headdress of a shepherd - an American cowboy. Wide fields and soft straw base perfectly protected the head from the scorching sun and wind in the open area. Nowadays, a cowboy hat is acceptable in combination with a business suit.In Russia, this type of hat is used with a formal casual suit.

• Bandana is a headdress for children, modern youth and ardent representatives of musical trends, periodically used by motor sports fans. The bandana is considered a very comfortable piece of clothing, as it sits quite tightly on the head. At the same time, the bandana does not contribute to the appearance of an even tan and provokes skin inflammation in the forehead area, therefore it is not recommended for constant use.

• Beanie hat may be quite appropriate in the summer, but it should be made of fine fabric and applied in a casual style, for example.

• Men's beret in Russia is strongly associated with old age and the profession of an artist.

• Light-colored fabric casing as a headdress is used even less often than a beret. This species has practically outlived its usefulness in an urban environment, mostly used in rural areas.

• Turbans are no longer a headdress of the inhabitants of the Arabian Peninsula or Africa, as well as a demonstration of religion. In Russia, this species is more popular among the female population. The male contingent is not particularly supportive of this headdress; the turban (a less voluminous version of the turban) has the same attitude towards itself.

Angular facial features are freely corrected by rounded hats. If the shape of the face is elongated, then it will be easier to correct it with a hat pulled over the forehead area; a hat with an asymmetrical arrangement of brims will also do this task perfectly.

For holders of a round face, it is better to choose a headdress with a higher crown, such as a baseball cap or fedora. Also, chubby ones can add vertical lines due to the lowered corners of the bandana or beanie in the raised version.

The hotter the climate, the thinner the fabric of the headdress should be. It should be understood that hats made of thin fabrics, such as a beanie, are more suitable for windy weather than for protection from the bright sun... Also, straw hats will do an excellent job with this task. Thick fabrics are ideal for windy and rainy weather. To avoid bright sun and skin burns, use wide-brimmed hats or models such as turbans and turbans.

When purchasing one or another option, you should think carefully about the general image so that the headdress is harmoniously combined with the clothes.

• Kepi - the perfect headdress for dudes and casual style lovers. And caps are perfect for military style. They look great with a sweater or T-shirt, velor trousers or skinny jeans. The versatility of the cap has no boundaries, since it can even complement the look with a jacket.

• Panama will look good with grunge and military style. Panama is also combined with a T-shirt, jeans and a denim shirt in a youth style. A Panama hat will complement the look for the beach and nature, casual style.

• Baseball cap - a type of headdress that is ideal for men of all ages, but only in combination with sportswear.

• Fedor Will look good in a casual style with a collarless shirt and a single-breasted jacket made of thick fabric. Fedora is most appropriate in a business image. Modern options with a single-breasted jacket with a silk lapel collar will be most relevant.

• Trilby hat combined with everyday urban style. A shirt with a stand-up collar and thin trousers without arrows will make a fashionable look, coupled with such a headdress.

• Cowboy hat, complemented by a denim set in combination with a T-shirt, completes the image of a man free from the bustle of the city.

• Cotton beanie and the T-shirt are in perfect harmony with the youth style.

• Beret will bring some lightness to the business image, give it freshness.

• Caps perfectly complement a jumper with trousers, create a casual style.

• Turban or turban in combination with a formal jacket, trousers with arrows and pointed boots, they are suitable for a business look. A light shirt with a loose fit, reminiscent of a tunic, and trousers made of light fabric in light colors, combined with a turban will create an oriental style.
