In search of interesting solutions for a new image, the fashion world often turns to long-known, but slightly forgotten styles. One of these is the boyarka hat. It consists of a strip around the forehead, called the band, and a crown covering the top of the head. Designers are gradually transforming models, playing with materials and colors, but the basic elements of the hat remain unchanged.
Boyarka - what is it?
The name itself comes from long-time owners of this headdress. Boyars wearing a hat made of natural, expensive materials emphasized their high status and wealth. Nowadays, this function has not disappeared, but it is important not only to show your worth in life, but also to be stylish and elegant.
Wealthy boyars wore their luxurious headdresses only on holidays, emphasizing their importance, but now the boyarka can be worn every day, because thanks to the special design, it can easily protect the head even in severe frosts.
Features of the boyarka hat
There are 3 main models of hats:
- A wide rim of natural lush fur encircles the crown, most often made of leather of the corresponding color.
- The entire hat can be fluffy, and only the base will be leather.
- The most economical option for edging is strips of fur, which are secured to a knitted base using loops.
Materials for headgear vary in appearance, quality and, of course, cost:
- sable - a symbol of prosperity in Ancient Rus' - to this day remains one of the most expensive and elite materials;
- a slightly rough sheepskin is suitable for combination with a sheepskin coat;
- the fluffy fur of foxes has a wide palette - snow-white, fiery and black with silver tips;
- The leather for the crown must necessarily match the color of the volumetric part of the headdress.
Important! Carefully inspect the boyarka before buying, because buying a fake is not only unpleasant and offensive, there is a risk of freezing and getting sick, because natural materials retain heat much more effectively.
Who is it suitable for?
For respectable women The best choice would be solid fur headwear made from mink or arctic fox. And here young fashionistas Airy versions made of fox with a crown made of suede or smooth leather are more suitable. Small girls need to be careful, because a bulky headdress will aggravate the situation, even if you resort to high heels. In this case, you need to choose a suede hat that will fit tightly to your head.
Attention! Boyarka is a very capricious style. When purchasing, consider whether you will have to change your entire wardrobe of outerwear, because not every fur coat or coat will fit a specific model.
What to wear with
There are several win-win options for combining clothes, shoes and attire:
- a natural fur coat and sheepskin coat, matching the color of the boyarka, will look simply luxurious;
- fitted short fur coats and feminine coats together with high-heeled boots will lengthen the silhouette; the highlight will be a fur hat;
- super-popular oversized coats can be boldly combined with a voluminous jacket, creating a unique look.
Boyarka is an eternal headdress, because it seems that a couple of models can always be seen on passers-by. On the other hand, high quality materials guarantee the durability of the hat. And the most important thing is the impression from the hat: if you really like the item, then there is no need to think about purchasing it for a long time.
