Hats and caps that were popular in men’s wardrobes for centuries have recently seen a resurgence in popularity and have become an excellent choice for women as well, enabling you to add some character or a hint of sophistication to an outfit. Hats and caps for women can be worn to keep you warm and dry when you’re outdoors in cold weather, or can be a simple way to finish off a more formal outfit in style.
The Newsboy cap is a classic design that was made popular by the newspaper sellers of New York in the 1920s and 1930s. This cap is a panel design, made from panels of woven tweed fabric which are stitched together and finished with a small peak, creating a very flattering style for women. Our Newsboy caps are available in a wide range of stunning colours and feature a small leather rosette to add a feminine touch. This is a versatile style that can be worn with many different outfits and the shape makes it one of our most popular choices for women.
There are many types of cap that are similar in shape and style to the Newsboy cap, such as the Wool Peaky Blinders Hat and the Flapper Cap, as well as more traditional women’s styles such as the Wool County Hat by Branigan Weavers. This hat is handwoven with the finest sheep and alpaca wool, and is available in a gorgeous range of colours inspired by the Irish countryside. We love the Donegal Blue weave, which takes its colours from the greens and blues in nature, and there are many ways to style this hat to suit your outfit.
If you’re embracing the elements and taking a walk or attending an outdoor event, you’ll need a hat you can rely on. Wool is a great choice because it naturally repels water and insulates against the cold, and you may also love the Kate Waxed Hat, which is waterproof and made from 100% waxed cotton.
The Ladies Boston Wool Felt Hat is a stylish choice that adds a little glamour to your look, practical enough to protect you from the rain and featuring a classic wide brim that looks great on both men and women. Alternatively, you can really embrace the opportunity to dress up with a Wool Felt Fedora from Dubarry of Ireland, or make the most of contemporary style with the Ladies Erin Bucket Hat, which will bring a touch of character to your look.
