Helena Sheffield - The Art of Wearing Hats - What to choose. Where to find. How to style.

Check out Angelina Jolie in The Changeling for hats that will change your world for the better.

For setting the world on fire with fierce cropped hair and unapologetic lifestyles, women of the 1920s are still idolised today. Draped in beads or furs, their look is not now a practical one, but it can be tweaked to help you achieve that dazzling aura.

THE HATAny cloche hat will work for this look, but pay attention to detail so you find one that will match one other element of your outfit – be that colour, design or fabric.

THE OUTFITTo achieve the full style, aim for a loose-fitting, drop-waisted dress. This doesn’t need to be smart or formal – the beauty of this look is that it’s meant to seem like it’s simply been thrown on in a slapdash manner.

THE ACCESSORIESA string of pearls and dark red lipstick are all you really need to complete the outfit, but incorporating fur into it will finish it off to perfection. This could be in the form of a coat or cape with fur attached, or a simple fur collar. The latter in particular can be found in various vintage shops.

The boater’s first foray into fashion was as an informal hat, heralding a new age of wearing hats for leisure. It was worn by men during the summer months in the early 20th century, having previously served as an item of uniform for Victorian schoolchildren (how delightful if that could still be enforced!). It’s now most often seen during the famed Henley Royal Regatta every summer, as well as remaining popular in many European countries.

WEAR IT:SUMMERTIME

As an exclusively straw hat, stick to wearing this during the summer. Don’t worry about getting caught in the rain, though – the thick straw can easily withstand the wet.
