Types of Modern Hats

First, let's take a look at some of the more classy type of modern hats. The bowler was extremely popular with the working class in the Victorian era. Later, the trend made its way to the UK and even the United States. During this transition of style, the bowler was mostly worn by the upper class. Luckily, for today's standard, anyone can wear a bowler and not be singled out in their class. As you can recall, Laurel and Hardy and even Charlie Chaplin wore a signature black bowler hat that is still recognized today. Often, the most common material for a bowler hat is made from wool and is black in color.

What about a fedora hat? We knew this question was coming. The fedora hat actually began from the homburg style of hat and was mostly worn by women when it was first introduced. However, in the 1920s, this trend shifted after Price Edward starting wearing this type of hat. Men noticed and followed suit to also begin wearing fedoras. Today, there are many famous actors that sport the fedora. Recently, in the National Geographic Explorer series, the Story of God, Morgan Freeman can be seen wearing a white Panama Fedora hat with a black ribbon in one or more of the episodes. Most notably, the Indiana Jones movies reintroduced the popularity of the fedora for a new generation.

Regardless of the price point, the Fedora is by all standards today, one of the most icon modern hats one can own.
