Hat Styles You Need in 2025 — and Beyond
You're no stranger to hat and headwear trends. But you're also a big supporter and lover of classic styles. The ones you can wear again and again without worry that you’ll stick out like a sore thumb.
You may be swayed to grab a straw cowboy hat because you saw Kendall Jenner wearing one. Or perhaps you saw all the great headwear at the Met Gala and decided you’ll add a fedora or a wide-brimmed straw hat to your style rotation.
That’s all good! But know that there are hat options that you can wear now and again… and again. Here are some of them.
Your Von Dutch trucker hat may be vintage now but we can’t really consider it a classic. Here are styles that transcend the test of time.
Warm-weather hat styles
Boater hats
A classic style to help ward off the sun’s harsh UV rays and add an oomph to your look, boater hats pair well with both casual and dressy outfits. Go for straw for spring and summer.
Bucket hat
Need something a bit more fun and casual but still elevated? A bucket hat is just what you’re looking for. These ‘60s- and ‘90s-inspired hats add an undated flair to your look.
Fedoras
Heading somewhere that’s a tad bit formal? A fedora will be your best friend. It’s dressy but not overly so. We think wool is great year-round; it’s cooling when needed. But you can definitely opt for fedoras made with a straw material for spring and summer.
Cool-weather hat styles
Berets
Level up your ensemble with something that’s easy to put on but delivers high-impact. It doesn’t get chicer than berets.
Felt hats
Felt and wool are the materials to look for when the weather gets colder. The best part? These come in a smorgasbord of styles. Our top pick: the cowboy (and its many iterations).
Beanies
Add a touch of flair to your everyday outfit — while keeping warm — with the help of a beanie. Plus points if it’s in a gorgeous colour. Because who says you can’t wear brights when it’s cold outside?
