People watch their favorite television shows for a variety of reasons. Some like to unwind or escape from stress, while others find it comforting and as a way to connect with friends. While these are all rational explanations, some fashion enthusiasts actually tune in just to admire the trendy outfits. For those who like to indulge in a little Hollywood style, here are five TV shows with hats that you're sure to remember.
Although "Mad Men" depicts the lives of several ad agency executives, many TV watchers are equally interested in the cast's outfits. During the 1960's, hats were a common fashion accessory. The show's main character, Don Draper, is featured wearing a number of different felt men's fedoras paired with classic suits and white dress shirts.
When it comes to fashion, Don's younger wife, Megan, is the star of the show. In one of the later seasons, she arrives in New York City wearing a leopard-print fur coat and a glamorous, black fur hat.
Don's older business partner, Roger Sterling, is a womanizer, so it's no surprise that he takes pride in his appearance. While Roger can also be spotted wearing a fedora, his hat styles are more flamboyant. To dress like Roger, select a fedora with a teardrop crown and a bold, colorful band.
The Compass by Walrus Hats is a classic fedora style that would be right at home on the set of Mad Men.
"Dallas" was one of the most famous TV shows on the air throughout the 1980s. Featuring the wealthy Ewing clan, the first series spotlighted on Bobby Ewing and his wife, Pamela. Fans, however, soon became mesmerized by scheming oil tycoon J.R. Ewing, played by Larry Hagman. Throughout the show, which ran from 1978-1991, J.R. wore his signature men's cowboy hat.
It was a Stetson cowboy hat made from a suede leather material. Although the hat was a light gray color, it had a decorative brown alligator band adorned with a vibrant orange and yellow feather. In 2011, Hagman's cowboy hat and other show memorabilia were sold by a New York auction house.
The Shetland by Walrus Hats is a striking western style hat that will take your look from casual to cowboy!
Out of all the popular TV shows, "Downton Abbey" highlighted the widest collection of hats. Although the character's hats varied, practically everyone, from the Earl of Grantham to his staff, wore some type of stylish headgear.
The sisters, Lady Mary and Lady Edith, each liked to sport their own version of the cloche hat. While Mary wore more traditional, conservative pieces, Edith enjoyed flashy cloche hats with art deco flair. The Starling by Walrus Hats is a classy cloche with a cute embellishment!
Who can forget Walter White's career transformation from high school chemistry teacher to crystal meth dealer? When White adopts the drug-dealing alias of Heisenberg, he dons a black pork pie hat and sunglasses to transform his image. The hat is key to Heisenberg's persona and gives him the courage and confidence to accept his newfound occupation.
Although "Breaking Bad" ended in 2013, White's featured hat was still on the mind of viewers. A few years later, the famous pork pie hat was given to the Smithsonian Museum in Washington, D.C. for display. For those who wish to emulate Heisenberg's style, choose a dark pork pie made of wool felt with a black ribbon band.
The Stetson Cranston is an excellent choice if you're after the Walter White look!
It's no secret that Aria, Emily, Hanna, and Spencer are experts when it comes to high school fashion. While these teenage TV characters struggle to hide their dark sides through a web of lies, they still have time to concentrate on their style, especially Spencer.
Spencer Hastings' famous hats are the focal point of many of her outfits. From trendy Baker Boy hats to vintage cloche styles, her pretty little noggin is always adorned in style. She also rocks a variety of other designs that include newsboy hats, wide-brimmed sun hats and beanies.
Next time you're watching one of these shows, pay attention to the hats the characters are wearing. Chances are, you'll get a lot of fashion ideas for your wardrobe.
