Although originally worn with the slim-fitting, scandalous dresses of the 1920s, the cloche is great for balancing the flare of big skirts with its graceful shape.
FIND IT: INDEPENDENT HAT SHOPS
While high-street shops are starting to adopt the cloche, independent hat shops have a real variety of colours and styles to help you find your unique hat.
PERFECT IT: THROW ON A CAPE
It might sound strange, but instead of putting on a coat in the winter try wearing a cape, letting it lend that extra element of dignity that the cloche completes. It’s also particularly fun to swoosh around in ...
STYLE GURU
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 HAT Any 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 ACCESSORIES A 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.

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.
