There’s been a revival in the wearing of all types of hats over the last few years, especially for males – a popularity that one imagines hasn’t been seen since the days of Bogart as a private detective, or Audrey Hepburn with oversized shades and extra-long cigarette holder…
But how do you go about choosing a kids hat this spring/summer?
Children’s hats are not just about being functional anymore, and with so many options to choose from you definitely want your child’s hat to work with the rest of his/her wardrobe! There are some very cool designs around, if you are prepared to look.
Just imagine putting your son in this plaid fedora
from Goorin teamed with a plain t-shirt or shirt, and some denims. Instant attitude!
Or if the fedora is too much, what about this cool seersucker or stylish gatsby, both also by Goorin!
Every girl needs a pretty sun hat! and there couldn’t be a better option, at least for values sake, than a reversible hat, like this fabulous design from miniBoden
. This style of hat is somewhat old fashioned and girly, but that’s the idea and I just love them!
Plus the extra wide brim keeps the sun off precious skin.
For high summer, I think every mum’s personal favorite is the bucket style, also known as the fisherman’s hat. The bucket style seems to suit everyone, boys and girls alike; ‘plonking’ one of these babies on your baby’s head is easy. These are bright and colourful – for him from miniBoden (left), and her from Debenhams (right).
If it’s a more standard type of cap that keeps your little lady happy, how about this military style from Roxy
(left), or for him this cadet cap, again from Goorin.
Personally, I think the “cap with fabric down the back to protect the neck from the sun” is not too cool, however extremely functional… but I’m struggling to find one that doesn’t look like it belongs around the beach or in the pool (that is, made of spandex or ’swimmers’ material).
I had some great fun looking around, now I have to cross my fingers and hope I can get my children to wear them!
