The main thing is to learn how to properly combine it with outerwear and choose exactly the option that will be combined with the shape of the face.

Headwear options, types and styles

The most popular types and styles of hats among women of elegant age are hats, caps, caps, caps and berets.

Hats

In the upcoming season, trendsetters have identified some colors that will rightfully be relevant today. It is black, brown, soft beige. And for the most courageous women of fashion, the designers offered hats in brighter colors, such as indigo, orange, purple, emerald! The highlight of the season will be polka-dot hats.

2. Boater - a low straw hat with a flat crown and straight brim.
3. Cowboy - a famous accessory from Texas with upward curved brim.
4. Cloche - bell hat.
5. Slouch - an accessory with omitted margins.
6. Trilby - popular hat with a ribbon, short brim and a dent in the middle.

But, nevertheless, choosing a hat and following the laws of fashion, you should not also forget that an accessory such as a hat should not only complement your style, but also be appropriate in the appropriate weather. A hat with a wide brim is unlikely to be the most comfortable during rain or snow, and the fact that it will not save you from severe cold weather and may be uncomfortable to wear.

Berets

French beret is also at its peak now. Unique textures are in trend. For example, models made of smooth natural fur, knitted. You should also choose a versatile powdery color. It is better to wear berets under a coat or sheepskin coat.

Kepi

The trendsetters have released one of the most original innovations of this season - the cap. The main styles of its implementation are recognized as the classics of white or black and the military style in leather, and as a kind of cap with snap-on visors.

A cap is a type of cap with a large hard bottom. This headpiece is combined with classic coats, furs and striped prints.

For winter - kepi with fur (for example, karakul), and for warmer months - decorative lightweight kepi. The fewer accessories on this headdress, the more expensive and laconic it looks. This season it is better to choose dark colors - black, navy blue.

Knitted hats

The most favorite headdress of women is still a knitted hat. It is comfortable to wear, warm and has a special variety.

Connoisseurs of sports style and free casual style should also focus on knitted hats. Various colors, styles and variants of knitting will be relevant.

Fashionistas who prefer femininity in clothes can try on soft hats knitted from fluffy yarn in a round shape. The main colors of pastel shades are pink-beige, beige, light blue. The long-forgotten soft beret made in a large knitted gray color, decorated with a brooch will be back in fashion.

In the 2020 season, scarves wrapped around the head will be fashionable, especially if you manage to build a turban. With regard to colors, there will be no particular restriction, these are either colorful with prints, or restrained classic colors.

The hood (in another way, the cap-hood) is a variant of the headdress. The hood is very practical and comfortable to wear due to its shape, which is especially suitable for women over 50. It can be made of yarn, fur, fleece and knitwear.The main trend of this season is caps-hoods made of natural or artificial fur.

A scarf is ideal for an active lifestyle - beautiful, yet comfortable and warm. Most often, scarf hats (snoods) are offered to choose from.

2. Feminine openwork. It is customary to combine them with knitted things.
3. Circular scarf.

This season, it is better to choose for yourself a scarf made of fleece in a natural shade or made of natural fur (especially mink).

Speaking about the topical clothing of the season, it is worth mentioning fur hats. Made of mink or arctic fox, they always look luxurious, so it's no surprise that fur is the main trend this season.

Hats for women over 50 should look expensive and sophisticated, and classic fur hats are appropriate for this role. They are made from different materials: from natural fur, artificial fur and eco-fur - an artificial material identical to natural.

Hats, in which several types of fur of different colors are harmoniously combined, will look very impressive on fashionistas. You can complement such fur garments with a brooch, buckles or flowers.

Berets and kubankas of natural colors are most suitable for women over 50, since they look especially feminine, expensive and status due to their brevity.

Caps with earflaps

For connoisseurs of ethnic style, hats with earflaps with an ethnic pattern will be a pleasant surprise. Knitted hats in green gray or burgundy will appeal to lovers of sports style. The main thing here, according to the designers, is that a muted and restrained style will be much better than a flashy bright one.

They are especially fond of women not only for their frost resistance, but also for her ability to look completely different thanks to her ears. They can be left hanging, tied at the front or back. Such accessories are made from different materials: artificial and natural fur, wool, acrylic threads, leather as a decoration.

There are several different models:

1. Pilot hat (aviator's) - a popular earflap with sheepskin trim and leather top.
2. Knitted - a headdress made of thick or thin yarn. It is inferior to the rest of the models in warmth, but is presented with different patterns, decorative elements and knitting techniques.
3. Mohair or "grass" - a hat with a very interesting knitting technique. It consists in the formation of grass-like villi on the surface of the headdress.
4. Trapper - Ushanka made of beaver fur and tanned leather.

Women in their 50s should choose discreet, modest models without pretentious decorations such as rhinestones, feathers and large patterns.

Material

Hats for women over 50 should be primarily warm, comfortable and durable. This directly depends on the material from which the headdress is made.

That is why you should give preference to materials such as:

1. Wool - the most common material, which has a number of advantages: good thermal insulation, in which the scalp "breathes", it practically does not wrinkle and has good wear resistance. But sometimes it can prick and electrify the hair. The warmest types of wool are camel and alpaca.
   If you want to choose a woolen hat that will not prick, then it is better to choose a merino.
2. Acrylic - a material that is not inferior in quality to wool, but models with a dense knit do not allow air to pass through, which will cause the head to sweat.
3. Leather - most often combined with fur trim (natural or artificial). The best, but expensive material.
4. Imitation leather - a more budget option for those who would like a leather headdress. When choosing a headdress made of this material, you should check that it is of high quality (does not exude a fetid aroma and does not crack) and remember that it, like acrylic, does not allow air to pass through.
5. Fur Is a warm but short-lived material. The more expensive it is, the more its durability will be. For example, raccoon fur can be worn the longest, and rabbit fur the least.

You should not choose cotton and viscose - they wear out rather quickly and at the same time do not protect against frost.

Decor

Women of elegant age should pay special attention to the decor of the product, because an extra feather can ruin the whole image. You should choose classic models with no frills. You can use a miniature elegant metal brooch as an additional accessory. A contrasting tape is suitable for the hat.

It is strictly forbidden to choose models with large logos, tassels and pom-poms. All these are attributes of a youth style rather than a style for women over 50. And various rhinestones, sequins and feathers are considered an indicator of the bad taste of the owner of such a headdress with these attributes.

Patterns for knitted hats

There are a large number of different patterns for knitted hats, consisting of different knitting techniques:

1. Hosiery and garter knitting - the simplest patterns. They look like a thin, smooth canvas that is combined with various decorative elements.
2. Rubber - one of the most popular techniques that suits absolutely everyone: both young people and women over 50, and can be combined with any outerwear.
3. Embossed patterns - the most ideal option for women of elegant age. They represent both chess patterns and braids for every taste.
4. Openwork patterns - an option for light autumn and spring hats for warm weather. They look beautiful, elegant and unusual.

Color and print

Hats for women over 50 should also have a number of characteristics that relate to colors and prints.The most ideal colors are natural, discreet, muted shades: especially dark green and brown.

Avoid:

1. Pink - on women of elegant age, it looks extremely childish.
2. Dark purple - highlights any age-related imperfections, such as blue under the eyes.
3. Bright orange - too bright and "theatrical" color. It can be used, but in very limited quantities. For example, a small brooch-type accessory.
4. White - Perfectly white color will accentuate age spots that have appeared with age. This color is very impractical to wear. It is best to choose other shades - closer to beige or gray.
5. Lemon yellow - visually, it will age the skin and give it a painful look. Warm shades of yellow are a better option.

1. Solid colors - a classic that should not be neglected, because such things can look interesting and unusual.
2. Animal prints - the trend of this season.
3. Strip - slightly inferior in popularity to other prints, but still remains a classic. Visually narrows the face and corrects its shape.
4. Geometric prints Is another trend that has returned from the past. Smaller patterns work best for women over 50.

1. Hats for an oval face: almost all hats, except for tall hats, so as not to lengthen the forehead.

3. For a triangular face: asymmetrical models that cover the forehead.
4. For a rectangular face: rounded models to help visually smooth facial features.
5. For a square face: rounded, minimalist hats. Shawls should not be used.
