Fashionable and stylish wardrobe can not do without hats. The ability to choose the right cap for one or another image is a great art.
Headgear - a delicate matter
There is a known case in the life of the famous artist Alexander Vertinsky when he ordered a very good German tailor coat. It turned out excellent. He sat like a glove, successfully emphasizing the stately figure of the customer. The impeccable taste and sense of style of the talented artist told him that the headgear should correspond to the nature of the sewn thing, but no matter how tormented Alexander Nikolaevich, he could not be picked up. They even tried to remake the coat. Anyway, in the kit something did not match. In the end, for fun, they tried on an officer cap. And, lo and behold, a perfectly harmonious ensemble turned out. It turned out that the tailor specialized in uniform for the army, and military overcoats are good only with caps.
In fact, to the situation, to the existing wardrobe, while not forgetting to take into account personal external data, it is not easy to pick up a hat. In this article we will talk about different types of caps and, hopefully, we will assist in mastering the science of compiling literate and complete images.
Universal hats
Listing the popular types of caps is not so difficult. Unlike hats, they can be counted on the fingers. There are a lot of synonyms for the same headgear. Let's see what the types of hats and their names are relevant to today.
We often hear or meet on the pages of fashion magazines such words: bean, beret, bale, Cossack hat, cap, cap, ambassador, balaclava, trumpet, clamp, hat, ear flaps, malachai, kubanka, skullcap, fez, boyark, cap, bonnet, cloche , Budennovka, Slouch, Gogol, Three, Bomber, Trapper, Kubanka, Three, Yermolka, cap, Panama, grandmother (accent "Y"), headscarf, cap, etc. All these are the names of the hats . And all of them are just variations of four to five models of hats, invented a very long time ago.
Modern fashion designers constantly turn to historical costumes to create new collections. Classic hats undergo various, sometimes cardinal changes. Visors, lapels, bands appear and disappear from them, the shape and methods of drapery of the tulle change. There are ongoing experiments with materials.
Beret
Beret is the modern name of the Russian cap, and in Scotland it is called a tem-o-shenter, or tem. Both the cap and the tem are hats with a high band tightly adjacent to the head and a free tulle, which is a whole circle or wedges sewn into a circle. The classic tem-o-tent is made of fine woolen checkered fabric. An indispensable detail is the pompom on the top of the head. A cartouche is often a plain hat of coarse fabric. In former times, dandies decorated it with flowers, buttons, decorative pins, etc.
Beret has long been a part of both men's and women's wardrobe. Berets are the headdress of the military. In our country in 2005, they completely replaced caps.
At one time, berets began to be made from natural fur, giving the product rigidity and static. This was achieved through a dense inner cover of drap. Now the fur berets have again become soft and plastic. Recently, the types of knitted hats replenished with berets, knitted from twisted strips of natural fur.
Variety of hoods
Some people give up hats completely, saying they don’t like hats. Behind these words most often lies the inability to choose and wear them correctly. This is sad, because the head is what we look at first. In winter, in cold weather, with your head uncovered, it’s dangerous to walk - you can get sick, and your hair is very spoiled by dry air and a sharp temperature drop.
With active reluctance to buy a hat, a hat in the form of a hood can be secured by a coat or jacket sewn or sewn to the neck of a hat.
Cossacks of the Russian army as a mandatory element of the uniform had a cap - this is a very convenient and practical removable hood. Modern designers offer this attribute of a military uniform to be used as a fashionable head accessory. Initially, a hood with long ends a la pea jacket entered the wardrobe of civilians only as a replacement for a hat for women. Now it is also worn by young men willingly.
Hoods are sewn from fabric, knitted from woolen threads, as well as from twisted strips of fur. The choice of materials is great. The main requirement for such a product is that it must be made of plastic, well drapable material. The headband is allowed in a wide variety of shapes - round, of two, or more, parts, like almost all jackets, and also with a long triangular end, like the hoods of capuchin monks. The hood can fit your head tight, or it can be loose, resembling a cloak or blanket. It is trimmed with fur, decorated with ornaments, knitted using a fantasy weave of threads. However, do not get involved in excessive decoration. It is possible that made of a plain material with a smooth texture, this element will most organically fit into the ensemble. Several options for stylish bows can be seen in the photographs presented in the article.
Balaclava
A kind of hood is a knitted hat called a balaclava. It is a canvas covering the head of a hood, elongated in the neck. A characteristic feature of the balaclava is a cut for the eyes. Since the thing is made of elastic knitwear, if necessary, the face can be fully opened by slightly stretching the slot and lowering it under the chin. Such a hat is indispensable if a person spends a lot of time outdoors under extreme weather conditions, such as severe frost with the wind or heat with the scorching sun and sand or dust flying in the face.
It is generally accepted that the balaclava is an attribute of commandos designed to hide their faces, but in ordinary civilian life this hat is absolutely indispensable for hiking in the woods, hunting or fishing. It will protect against midges, and ticks, and from adverse weather conditions.
Urban fashionistas will be right if they include a knitted hat with an opening for the eyes in their stylish sets, because even a funny hat in the shape of a cat, borrowed from a Hollywood movie, looks very organic to young ladies. Adorable cat ears look incredibly cute on female heads.
Ushanka and its variations
The cap with ear flaps has undergone such a large number of changes that it can be called a champion in this competition. On its basis, models such as malachai, treukh, bomber and trapper appeared. Initially, they were all different types of fur hats.
For soldiers of either the Russian Imperial Army or the Red Army (historical versions differ here), a group of artists led by such masters as V. M. Vasnetsov and B. M. Kustodiev developed a new form. The famous Budenovka hat, or, as it was also called, a Frunzevka and a warrior, with a pointed upper part very much resembled the helmets of warriors, and with a turning away part - treuh. A budenovka was made of cloth.
Currently, earflaps have moved into the category of hats, which are made of drap, leather, knit with threads and fur strips. But malachai invariably enters into the types of hats sewn from fur. A distinctive feature of this headgear is a magnificent tail sewn to the occipital part.
Ushanka-bomber is an accessory of polar pilots. But he firmly established himself in the wardrobes of purely earthly fashionistas. This hat is made of leather and fur. The outer parts are leather and the inside is made of textiles and fur or the same leather as the top.
Ushanka-trapper is named after the English term meaning “fur hunter”. If you list the common types of fur hats, then the trapper will be among the first. The top of this headgear, very fashionable in our time, is made of waterproof textiles, and the internal, turning away parts are made of fur.
Economy version of earflaps - a snag. This is an imitation of a classic hat. Outwardly, it looks like a cap with ear flaps, in which the ear lobes are raised to the top of the head and connected. The mink, ferret is very spectacular.
The most fashionable and modern earflaps are made with very long ears that can be wound around the neck like a scarf. Sometimes they end in the likeness of pockets in which it is convenient to warm your hands. Such hats can be either sewn from natural or artificial fur, or knitted from various types of yarn.
Pilot and its varieties
Gogol, Moscow, ambassador - all these are the names of the caps a la Russ, which repeats the shape of the cap. The Ambassador is an aristocratic headdress that was once highly revered by representatives of the communist elite of the Soviet Union. They were sewn from the best karakul, fawn or mink. Currently, this hat has been revived for snobs and hipsters. She is very elegant and requires impeccable additions in the form of coats, scarves, shoes, gloves and a briefcase. It’s not easy to choose an ambassador by size. This cap should not sit too loose, spontaneously rotating around the circumference of the head with careless movement. At the same time, it is very unpleasant to feel her squeezing her forehead, striving to slip to the top of her head. It is best to order such a hat in the workshop of an experienced tailor. With a small amount of fur, it is quite possible to make a blende, that is, to imitate the band with the help of a fold distributed around the perimeter of the tulle.
An elegant longitudinal hall at the top of the tulle is one of the hallmarks of this headgear. This crease looks very impressive. This gives status to the appearance of the wearer of this headgear.
Gogol is the same ambassador, only without a band. Both hats are very slim and visually increase growth, which is undoubtedly complementary for any man.
Cossack and boyar hats
In recent years, the so-called Cossack hats have gained great popularity in the West. What it is? These types of caps are directly related to the uniform of the Cossack troops. They are sewn from the skin of sheep. Such hats are made of long-pile white or black fur. Also, these caps look great even if they are made of silver or brown astrakhan, astrakhan, smushka, merlushka and pojarki.
The pattern of the Cossack cap is not difficult - it is a rectangle, the long side of which is equal to the length of the circumference of the head. Short - the height of the cap itself. The bottom, or upper, crown part is a circle. It can be from the same material as the main part, or it can be textile.
It is worth paying attention to the following types of caps and their names. This is a Kubanka, a hat and, the most complex and interesting model, a murmur.
Murmolka has nothing to do with the Cossacks, but talking about the types of winter hats, it will be unfair to ignore this men's headdress. Murmolka is a man's hat. Her tulle repeats the kubanka, however, the murmolka has a lapel, which, unlike the famous boyars, which will be discussed below, has a cut above the forehead.
Both women and men wear the boyark. In the photographs presented in our article, you can see various types of winter hats, including boyars. A characteristic feature of this headgear is a two-stage formed by a tulle and a lap-edge. The most expensive models are sewn from sable, arctic fox and mink.
The current cap is the same boyar, but textile is used for its implementation - drap, velor, velveteen, velvet, genuine or artificial leather, etc. Many types of knitted hats are made with knitting needles or crochet exactly on the patterns of the classical current or small Jewish hats .
Jewish hats in modern reading
Very simple, comfortable and practical hats, tight-fitting head, originate in the Jewish fashion. These types of knitted hats, such as bean or cockerel, are enlarged yermolk and bale. I must say that knitted hats have excellent ductility. They can be worn by twisting the bottom edge with a thick short rudder or wrapping it with a wide bar, or it can be pulled up and shaped like a cockscomb.
Currently, the fashion suggests wearing similar hats, slightly pulling it up and back so that the main volume descends to the collar of the back. Fashionistas will be interested in how in the coming year it will be most profitable to drape such types of hats. The photos posted in our article clearly demonstrate the most successful options.
Cap
The main distinguishing feature of this headdress is its visor. This detail was borrowed from the cap by many models that were traditionally sewn without a visor. This detail is now successfully sewn to the balaclava, to the beanie, to the cape, to the earflaps, to the scarf, to the beret, to the officer cap, to the shaver, etc. It should be noted that the cap family itself has grown a lot over the past decades. There are baseball caps, and caps, and caps. They differ from each other in the cover of the body and the length of the visor. Tula can consist of one or two parts, or maybe eight wedges. Often a cap resembles a beret or a cap. It can have a band, and can safely do without it. As materials for the manufacture of caps using textiles, leather and short-haired fur.
Turban
From the Middle East to Europe came fashion for all kinds of turbans and turbans. Now they are even made of fur, imitating the assembly of the forehead. I must say that headgear of this style are very few. A hat in the form of a scarf wrapped around the head suggests an appropriate wardrobe, that is, a dress or coat in a special, finely tuned style. You need to have a very delicate taste in order to make a harmonious set and not look funny. To moderate the eastern character of the accessory, make-up in a moderate European style can. European turban should not be large. It is better if it is monophonic, in color to the main suit. Jewelry in the form of brooches, buttons with rhinestones, feathers and other things should be excluded.
How to choose the right hat?
Headgear should be selected not only for the occasion, but also for the type of appearance. When buying a hat, you need to try on it in front of the mirror. If the face has not become prettier, then it is better to immediately refuse such a hat, no matter how fashionable and beautiful it may be. You should pay attention to whether the face has become excessively round or elongated. If the knitted hat is pricked, it means that it is made of coarse yarn, and therefore it will be uncomfortable to wear. The headgear should not be cramped or too loose on your head. In the first case, it can provoke a headache, and in the second it will interfere with seeing, because when you turn or tilt your head, it will close the review. There are caps of universal styles that fit almost everyone, and there are those that fit only a few. A typical example is a very fashionable hat with cat ears. No matter how funny and cute she looked on the model, before buying her, one should ask: “What is the most common expression on my face?” If it is very serious, strict or concentrated, then it will be more correct to refuse such an accessory. Most knitted hats and some models of fur or felt, in particular with various ears, as well as with pompons, funny prints, etc., can be recommended only to sufficiently infantile personalities. In extreme cases, putting on a similar headdress, you should tune in a humorous, even frivolous mood. A serious face in a hat with a pompom looks intimidating and yet comical. In any case, such a character cannot be taken seriously.
Fantasy is most appropriate for the manufacture of hats for babies. Our photos show only some types of children's hats. The kids look very hilarious in headdresses decorated with animal faces or voluminous flowers. By and large, almost all types of caps are suitable for them. Crocheting or knitting such an accessory will not be difficult.
