Roxie’s Guide to Hats
The Slouchy Beret
The history of the beret goes way back into history, so there is no way to be certain where or when it was invented. It was originally worn by men, but somewhere along the way fashion forward women took over the beret and have been putting their own spin on this hat ever since. Most recently the beret has been seen worn with the brim hanging on the back of the head, coined the slouchy beret.
This beret I’ve got on here was crocheted by my Nanny, and doesn’t have too much of a brim or slouch. The beautiful thing about the slouchy beret is that anyone can pull them off, and they are perfect for bad hair days. Another bonus of this hat is what is instantly makes any outfit seem more casual and cool.
I hope y’all have a good weekend.
much love.

The Spirit Hood
This is the most controversial hat on my guide. This hat/hood/scarf has been on so many do not wear lists I’ve lost count; but it is also so loved by teeny boppers and hipsters in their late twenties. These hoods come in a variety of animals including wolf, husky, night owl, fox and plenty more colors and ear shapes.
Personally, I love my spirit hood. It is so warm, especially since the scarf part of the hood has hand pockets. I think it’s really endearing and sweet. If you choose to rock the spirit hood, you need to wear it with confidence and a toned down casual outfit.

The Trapper Hat
These are the warmest hats going in my opinion. These were first created to keep (as you may as guessed) fur trappers and hunters warm in the extremes of winter. That is why they sit low on the forehead and have long ear flaps, it’s an attempt to cover as much of your head as possible from the elements. They were typically made using rabbit or fox fur as the lining with a leather exterior. However, in the past couple of years they have re-surged in popularity; being worn as winter accessories and made out of many man made materials.
Personally my trapper hat is like a best friend to me. It is super warm and stays on my head with the ties on the bottom, which is what I need considering in it minus 35 degrees Celsius today where I live. But it is not only useful in the cold, but looks great untied with a scarf, casual sweater, jeans and booties. Also, in my opinion can be worn by any face but fit is very important so make sure it is the right size.

p.s. my luggage was returned to me this morning, I am overjoyed.
