Hot Accessory Trend Alert: Trilby Hats

Posted by Alexandra | Friday March 18, 2011

Big floppy hats made a big bang during the late '60s, but the trilby has been around since the '20s! Initially mostly worn by men, it has since gained popularity with the ladies, though you may still have to contend with a boy wanting to borrow yours. The trilby resembles, and is often confused with, the fedora, but basically the trilby has a slightly smaller brim.

This season, we're loving the trilby to finish simple spring outfits. Pair your trilby with jeans and a Tee for boyish-charm or wear it with a light summer dress to add some playfulness to a feminine frock.

Target was my hat shopping irish charm last year. This year, I have found nothing! I saw a few in Forever21 this past weekend, but too flemsy for me.

The one I got looks a lot like #14, and after all my searching I actually spotted it at Sears. Never doubt department stores, sometimes they have exactly what you're looking for. And it was only $6!
