I never cease to be amazed by modern fashion. What was previously considered the domain of athletes or tourists suddenly becomes the next trend. After tractor-soled sandals and boxing shorts, the catwalks went to conquer... fishing hats! I’ll tell you about them today.
The essence of the trend
For the first time, such accessories appeared on shows back in February, but then they were not particularly to the taste of the public. But the designers clearly were not going to despair! They tried again, but for the summer-autumn 2020 season. And they were right!
A fisherman's hat is not only a beautiful, but also a very practical accessory. High fashion trendsetters made it look like a regular Panama hat, but provided it with a thick nylon lining.
As a result, it protects the wearer's head, face and neck from the bright sun. In addition, such a hat is indispensable in the rain. This versatile accessory can be worn on vacation, in the forest, on the beach or on a city walk.
The choice of fishing hats on the catwalk is simply huge. There, with equal frequency, flashed both miniature panama hats, similar to children's ones, and canonical headdresses with wide brims, long lining and an awning.
The collections also include hats similar to the headdresses of medieval nuns, warlike Amazons and romantic French women. Some bucket hats are decorated with a bright summer print. Others are offered to wear total black or total white in their bows.
Designer Christophe Lemaire, for example, focuses on stylish monochrome looks. His models look quite romantic. The collection from Maison Margiela features authentic wide-brimmed hats decorated with a wide satin ribbon. Well, Nehera focuses on closed models - panama hats completely cover the face.
What to wear with
There are no restrictions on trends in the world of high fashion. In summer, it is recommended to wear a hat with a light cotton dress and moccasins. It can be complemented with a daring safari look. The accessory also fits well into street fashion. A fisherman's hat looks great with jeans or a denim jacket.
In the fall, such hats are unlikely to go out of fashion, so don’t rush to get rid of the accessory. It will go well with a leather jacket or raincoat, trouser suit or stylish shirt.
Image options
There can be dozens of options for different outfits. In cool weather, you can pair a long-brimmed hat with an oversized suit. A small handbag and good leather boots will complement the look.
However, the options don't end there! At high fashion week, models combined the accessory with a jacket, matching shorts and a crop top. You can wear the same favorite sneakers or sandals with low heels.
A wide-brimmed Panama hat with a leather jacket and jeans is another universal look for city walks. It’s enough to wear a black T-shirt or T-shirt underneath, and then complement everything with sneakers or high boots - depending on the time of year and weather.
In the summer, you can wear a fisherman's hat with a loose tank top and classic straight cut banana jeans. The main thing is not to overload the image with heavy accessories. It is enough to take a small handbag to match and a thin chain or bracelet.
Finally, a Panama hat will look great with a long colored raincoat. In this case, the hat can either differ in shade or match the outerwear. Such a stylish outfit will protect you from bad weather even in the heaviest rain.
