Women’s Apparels & Accessories

A popular head gear in the 1920s, cloche hat is a fitting hat designed with a soft brim and to be worn low. A properly designed cloche hat would require a user to raise her chin, tilt her head, and even gaze down her nose for her to be aware of the road she is walking on – a posture usually relaying a haughty, proud, and arrogant look. Made popular in the 1920s, the cloche hat had been attempted to be resurrected in the late 90s through a series of paparazzi-avoiding stars.

“Cloche” is a French word for “bell” from which the hat takes close inspiration from. The bulk of materials in the production of a cloche hat are provided for to form the body and immensely highlight the height of the hat. Usually used to accentuate and adorn the floppy and even flamboyant brim are brooch, ribbons, and other types of accessories which could be further customized and be uniquely worn according to the preference of the wearer. The popularity of the cloche hat in the late 1920s had signaled an evolution in the clothing requirement of the women. From being closely conservative and traditional, women in the 1920s had started to wear casual and sporty garments. Usually light in materials, the fashion that had sprawled together with cloche hat had allowed women to be carefree and to enjoy summer and outdoor events.

To enjoy this type of carefree and relaxed ensemble, any local hat store could provide a customized cloche hat that would fit your head and not of others. To get the right size, the store should get your exact head measurement and assure that such process would produce a tight fit to your head.
