Spring, autumn, winter - at these times of the year, in order to feel comfortable outside, you need some kind of hat. However, the benefits of a good hat don't stop at keeping your ears warm in cold weather. It is also a wonderful artistic means with which you can create a bright, expressive, unique image.
General rules for choosing a hat for a coat
A coat is a popular outerwear worn by both men and women. It can be stylish and effective, but it definitely requires a headdress as an addition. What to follow to get a harmonious combination?
There are a few basic rules to keep in mind:
- Color matching. Some colors work well together, others clash, any fashionista can tell you a lot about this.The image will turn out successful only if the colors of the coat and headdress are a matching pair of shades;
- Matching styles. The style of all elements of clothing you are wearing must match. True, there are things that allow you to freely interpret your style, but you should proceed with them carefully;
- Matching styles. Coats have a whole range of possible styles, and the range of hats is even wider. And some models always look good together, while others don’t. Make sure that the cut of your autumn attire is in harmony with the shape of your headdress.
Color, style and cut are the three main components you should pay attention to when looking for the right hat to go with your coat.
Important! When choosing a harmonious pair of these wardrobe items, do not forget that they should match not only each other, but also your type of appearance. Match the shade of the eyes and hair, emphasizing the shape of the chin.
If you know how to use this artistic tool, then you can, with one coat, create completely different images, changing them depending on your mood and goals. A hat, scarf, gloves - these are wardrobe elements that should not be underestimated.
Choosing a hat for a coat by color and material
In the field of clothing, the concepts of color, material and texture are inextricably linked. These are the characteristics of the fabric from which the clothing is made. They are the ones who determine the first visual impression of a thing.
Coats are made from a limited number of types of materials. And a number of these basic fabrics have pronounced specifics:
- Leather coat. It is almost always black, and burgundy models are occasionally found.From the point of view of choosing a headdress, such things are very capricious. Leather products, narrow, tight-fitting smooth hats, and hats with brims look appropriate with them. Almost always black. For those who want to attract attention in a good way - red;
- Things from drape. This is such a traditional dense material for sewing outerwear. In most cases, items made from it have a restrained color scheme: gray, beige, muted blue. By choosing the same discreet hat, you will enhance the seriousness of the image, making it more adult and businesslike. By playing in contrast, wearing a bright headdress, scarf and accessories, you will reveal yourself as a creative and interesting person. Both paths have their advantages;
- Jacquard. This tapestry-like look usually becomes the basis for eye-catching and eye-catching pieces. Only dull, monochromatic hats that do not have a very pronounced texture are suitable for such a coat.
However, there are also materials that have an infinitely wide range of color solutions. And sometimes coats are made from some of the fabrics on this list. For example, from raincoat fabric, cashmere, corduroy, crepe. In these cases, the search for successful color solutions is carried out individually.
Important! Most often, the principle of attraction of opposites works here. Smooth things look interesting with textured ones; bright with a pattern - with restrained and plain ones.
Combination of cut and style
What styles and styles of hats are there, and what coat models do they go well with, and which ones - not so much? There are a lot of options:
Fur hat with earflaps. Ushanka is now trending again. It is recommended to wear it with formal attire of classic shape, mostly black or dark gray, with a formal collar.Or with clothes of a provocative militaristic style - and this will be a completely different image;
Baths are a knitted or knitted fitted model of an elongated shape. Such products go well with a loose silhouette, voluminous collars, and scarves. They focus attention on the face, so they should not be worn by those who do not have very healthy skin;
Hat-sock. That is, a thing made of wool or knitwear that fits tightly around the head. It is indispensable for coats with hoods. In addition, it looks great with loose, flared clothes, especially if they have a voluminous collar;
Knitted hat with pompom. This playful solution belongs to a dynamic and free sports style. For example, it looks impressive together with a coat of the “Daflokt” style, which has a simple straight cut and large expressive fasteners;

Headdress under a man's coat
Modern women's fashion leaves its followers more freedom. A man's suit requires some care. Here are a few simple guidelines to keep in mind when creating it:

However, this is not a strict rule, but only a trend - maybe in your case a large knitted hat in a deep blue color will set off your eyes and will be very useful;
Not all styles of hats are appropriate. Baths, caps, earflaps, hats with brims, and sock caps are suitable for both women and men. But the beret, the frivolous knitted ears, and the big cheerful pom-pom are best left for the fair half of humanity.
Important! The general aesthetic principles that should be followed when searching for successful combinations are the same for men and women. You should always select items based on their color, style and style. And this applies not only to hats.
