This summer, the oversized hat known as Bomba, designed by Marseille designer Jacquemus, caused a huge buzz in the fashion industry. Its extravagant size and provocative aspect made it a rapid success among consumers who were looking for a timeless accessory to make a bold statement. As the big straw hat trend comes to an end with the approaching winter, fashion enthusiasts are wondering what will be the successor to this iconic hat.
Fortunately, Janessa Leone and Anine Bing have come together to create the perfect hat for the woman of tomorrow. Janessa Leone is a brand specializing in accessories, particularly hats, while Anine Bing is a renowned designer and founder of an eponymous fashion website. The two designers discovered their shared vision of fashion and desire to create for women from all walks of life, leading them to collaborate on a “cowboy” style hat. Made of 100% wool, this hat skillfully combines the codes of feminism and masculinity to create a stylish and comforting accessory perfect for facing the winter cold.
For those who prefer a more traditional and luxurious option, Hermès offers not one, but two hat models for this winter. The first, named Susan, features an unprecedented square shape. Made of rabbit felt and adorned with a glazed lamb leather trim, this hat pays homage to Hermès’ saddler past with the addition of a palladium gray gold saddle nail. The navy blue color contrasts beautifully with the amber leather edging, creating a graphic aspect that is sure to make this designer hat a must-have.
The second hat by Hermès, named Paris, was created in honor of the iconic city. Also made of rabbit felt, it stands out with its twill silk ribbon printed with the phrase “Manufacture de Boucleries” or “Brides.” Available in four colors ranging from light beige to black, this hat’s clean and classic line makes it adaptable to any look.
Adding a touch of madness to the winter season, Air Brigitte has collaborated with accessories designer D’Estrëe to create a whimsical hat. This Parisian brand has been making waves with its influential collaborations, and this light blue hat with white edges is no exception. The color represents the sky, reminiscent of the views from an airplane window, and perfectly captures the essence of Air Brigitte’s products. This airy headpiece adds a welcome touch of playfulness and could very well become the new go-to hat, taking over from the oversized straw hat of the summer.
As the winter season approaches, these hats offer a range of options for fashion-forward individuals to express their personal style and stay warm. Whether it’s the timeless elegance of Janessa Leone x Anine Bing, the luxurious craftsmanship of Hermès, or the playful madness of Air Brigitte x D’Estrëe, there is a hat for everyone to make a fashionable statement.
