Hat Style History - From Early Ages to Contemporary
Human history is ever-changing, be it culture, mindset, or behaviour. Fashion evolves with these changes too. Talking specifically about hats, we can see a major difference between the 1920’s cloche hat and the cap that we wear today. But some hat styles have become classic staples such as the P-Caps.

Hats from the Past
Though its originality is questioned, hats were famously known to be an everyday accessory, as there are many paintings depicting people adorning beautiful hats, be it an army man with Tricorneor a woman enjoying her day in the country side with her beautiful Bergere. Functionality of these is not questioned because hats were used to protect the head from the scorching heat of the sun and protecting the face from rainy day.

Hats of the Present
Though some hats are still a representation of economic status nowadays, such as the Ascot hat that is worn during Ascot Horse Racing Event by the members of the royal families, they are accessible to anyone who wants to distinguish their look. With fashion becoming more inclusive, hat styles are also becoming more diverse.
