How To Accessorise Your Outfit Using Vintage Hats

By Stephen Patterson


If you love the idea of adding vintage elements to an outfit without looking dated you may want to consider using accessories instead of clothing pieces themselves. Adding touches such as vintage hats can be a great way to get an outfit that has the feel of a bygone era without going overboard. Here are some tips that you can use to ensure the hat you choose looks great and gives you the feel you are looking for.

Hats have been popular for hundreds of years. In the past, they were a way of making a social statement as well as being a fashion accessory. Today, in many societies, people still will not attend certain sporting or social events without covering their heads and often will pay hundreds of dollars for custom made versions that have been designed by milliners.

If you are just starting to collect headgear, you may not know where to look for truly vintage pieces. Often thrift shops will have some to choose from. There are also websites that will feature reproductions of more classic styles as well. Some estate sales or auctions may have some available as well. You may want to do some research before you attend these kinds of events so you know what you are looking for.

One thing to consider when choosing a hat is what season it is. These items can be made out of a variety of different materials and some of them are better suited to certain seasons. For example, a vintage straw boater will look beautiful during warmer months but may look out of place during the fall or winter.

Unless you are attending an event where people will be totally dressed in period attire, balance is ideal when wearing a hat. Consider wearing neutral, modern pieces along with your chosen piece. You may be able to add in other more classic or antique elements but be careful not to overload your outfit. You want the focus to be on your head gear and not on your outfit as a whole.

If you will be getting dressed up and attending an event you need to think about how formal it is. For example, a wedding would call for a different choice in headgear than a more casual event would. Men should also be aware that there are a range of styles that they can choose from that will look good with a suit. If you are unsure of whether a particular style will work, check out images of similar events to see what kind of headgear the attendees are wearing.

If you will be wearing your headgear on a regular basis and want to make sure that they continue to look good, it is important to know how to take care of them. For example, caring for a vintage straw piece would involve different steps than caring for one that is made out of felt or fabric. Researching different cleaning products and storage methods is a good idea.

Once you have found a few pieces to add to your collection you can begin wearing them. Hats tend to wax and wane in popularity but rest assured that the right topper can attract a lot of positive attention no matter where you go.
