What are some popular types of hats?

Popular types of hats for women are panama, fedoras, boater and the cloche hats. Some popular hats for men include the trilby, porkpie and the newsboy hat. Men also wear the fedora and boater hats. These hats differ in design and are often worn as fashion items.

A fedora hat is a lightweight felt hat with pinched sides. It has a wide flexible brim that makes it versatile and popular.

Sun hats are particularly popular during summers. They are not only worn as fashion items but also as shields against the sun's glare. Their wide brims are meant to shade the face, neck and shoulders. The bell-shaped cloche hat that is worn by women low on the forehead was invented in 1908 by Caroline Reboux.
