2. Structured Hats

Hats have always played a focal role in fashion throughout history, and while we no longer live in a world where leaving your house with your head uncovered is considered a social disgrace, headgear has made a comeback as a practical style statement.

This season’s appetite for traditional structured hats has seen the trilby, fedora and pork pie become the headwear of choice for the sartorially-minded.

Traditional milliners like Christys’, Olney, Borsalino and Lock & Co. have reignited interest in these vintage styles by adding fresh twists to the heritage silhouettes – incorporating features such as wider brims, bold colours and textured fabrics for a more contemporary feel.

It might not be the best look to pair a trilby with a suit and overcoat combination unless you’re bound for a 1940s party, but combined with a leather jacket, chunky knit and slim-cut denim, it can make a stylish urban statement.
