What Makes Trilby Hats such a Unique Fashion Statement

Out of all the different styles of hats available in the market today, what makes trilby hats so special? It may have something to do with the fact that trilby hats are so versatile. You can wear them during occasions which require a formal or casual getup, and the style of the hat transcends gender barriers. Here, we will take a quick look at the history of trilby hats and what makes them such a unique fashion statement whose sleek look and sophistication has lasted for decades.

 

A Quick Look at the History of Trilby Hats

 

First, let’s have a quick look at the history of trilby hats. The name was actually derived from a novel named “Trilby” whose main character was named such. In an 1894 play, the George duMaurier-written play was shown, and the actor portraying the lead role wore a hat which was similar to the original American fedora. However, the difference was that the trilby hat was made with a narrow brim and a deeply-pinched crown.

 

As the popularity of the play soared, so did the popularity of what is later known as the trilby hat. Although the style of trilbies is similar to that of the fedora, they can hardly be described as a knockoff of the American hat design.

 

The lasting impression made by trilbies probably stems from the fact that both men and women can wear it with ease. No matter what type of garment it is that you have on, you can dress up your look simply by wearing a stylish trilby hat.

 

A Variety of Looks Created from a Multitude of Designs to Choose From

Since its inception during the 1920s, a lot has changed when it comes to the variety of trilby hat designs that you can choose from. The original material that trilby hats were made of was rabbit hair felt.

 

Over the years, however, a variety of designs and materials for trilby hats were made available for both men and women. Back in the days, the only variation of trilby hats came in the form of a small feather or ribbon around the hatband for women. For men, trilby hats were available in plain designs and neutral colours like tan, black and grey.

 

If you’re trying to pull off a romantic look, you can go for trilby hats which are made from straw and lace, which has a slightly longer brim and is designed with ribbons that drape behind the back of the head. This is a variation of traditional trilby hats which are also known as sun hats.

Variations of trilby and sun hat designs for women are also usually seen on the runway.  For men, sun hats come in a variety of designs and colours which would remind you of the hats worn by men in the Australian outback.

 

As you can see, no matter what type of look it is that you are trying to pull off, you can easily do so with the help of trilby hats. This sleekly-styled head gear has been a fashion craze for ages, and it looks like the trend is not about to go away any time soon.
