Infinity Hat

Brimless hats are a general term for hats that fit the head with the brim as the target, and there are many types, including American-style brimless hats, uniform hats, and fabric ones.

Duckbill cap

The peak of the beanie is nearly level, like a fedora, and can be rolled up. Depending on the size of the beanie, it is also referred to as a fedora or a uniform cap.

Felt hat

Turkish felt hats, once a favorite of Moroccan Prince Hassan II in the 1960s. These soft, brimless felt caps were a must-have accessory in Turkey at the time, with Turks needing to wear them whenever they went out.

Top Hat

The top hat comes in two styles: winter and summer. The winter version is made of black wool felt, while the summer one features white silk crepe. It was a wide-brimmed, flat-topped, tall-crowned men's hat popular from late 19th to early 20th century. Typically crafted with a round crown and a broad brim, a top hat can often be spotted in many amusing magic performances.

Beret帽

The beret is a soft, rimless military cap, often used as a symbol by special forces, special operations units, and parachute troops in some countries' armies. Historically, the British Army was the first to wear berets, and during World War II, the United States formed a special unit whose members wore green berets, hence the nickname "Green Beret."

Baseball Cap

Baseball caps are the most commonly seen in everyday life and a versatile type of hat. You can find them in any season, whether in sports lines or fashion lines, they are everywhere. There are also many brands that produce baseball caps, and generally speaking, any company that makes hats will definitely have baseball caps.

Woolen beanie

Knitted woolen hats are primarily used for warmth during winter. These hats often feature a stylish knit design and are versatile enough to match any winter outfit.

Sun Hat

Sun hats are a broad category, as they encompass a variety of hat styles designed to shield from the sun. However, when we refer to sun hats, we typically mean those with a large brim around the edge, offering excellent sun protection. For instance, beach hats with wide brims are a classic example. Additionally, sun hats are also known as sun shade hats, as their primary function is primarily to provide sun protection.

Fisherman's hat, a soft cotton hat with a narrow brim that can cover deeply, available in unisex styles. Unlike baseball caps with a long, protruding front, the fisherman's hat features only a circular sunshade edge slightly in the shape of a trapezoid. Typically made of thicker material with some elasticity, these hats may have metal ring holes on the sides to prevent excessive heat and stuffiness during hot summer days.

Fishing Hat + Center-Parted Long Hair
A fisherman's hat paired with long hair is a perfect match; the flowing hair on both sides balances out the weight of the hat. Remember to keep your hair parted in the middle, maintaining an even balance of hair on both sides. The tips should be slightly curled and then tousled with your hands for that relaxed and understated texture that complements the fisherman's hat.

Jazz Hat

Now, the jazz hat has become a popular trend in various medium and large cities. Wearing jazz hats in different colors, matched with various clothing and hairstyles, has become an enchanting sight!

The Panama Hat, also known as a jazz hat, originates from Ecuador. By the mid-19th century, Panama had become a major route between the Americas' west coast and Europe. Ecuadorian merchants began exporting straw hats via this route to Europe. These hats were very popular among Europeans traveling to California in the Gold Rush era through Panama, hence, although the hat's origin is Ecuador, it is still referred to as the "Panama Hat."

Hollywood celebrities' must-have hats, not to mention hip-hop men. With the rise of medium and mix styles, jazz caps have almost become an indispensable fashion trick for everyone. Just one of these hats can transform even the most ordinary attire into the style of a celebrity caught by paparazzi on the streets!
