Filed under: Accessories, Celebrities with Style

From Brad Pitt to Rachel Bilson, certain celebrities never shy away from giving their outfit that little something extra -- a hat! Headgear is in, it doesn't matter whether your head is cold or not.

Hats outlawed in British pubs

Filed under: Accessories, Style in the News


As Kyle recently pointed out, Brits somehow rule when it comes to pulling off the ol' headgear. Perhaps it's centuries of tradition, or the fact that they don't limit their choices to ball caps -- probably a combination of both. Still, whatever the reason, it seems that citizens in Yorkshire might soon have to fight for their right to wear hats (in bars).

Yes, as stupid as it sounds, Yorkshire police are asking barkeeps to make their customers remove their hats in order to make sure that security cameras can get a good look at them. Apparently, the local cops just want to make sure that they can identify the perpetrators if any funny business goes down. To us here at Styledash, that sounds like a hard pill to swallow. You give up your hats and then what's next? Jackets? Boots? We believe the right to wear a hat, however tasteful or hideous, shall not be infringed.

Biggest earmuffs in human history?

Filed under: Runway Trends, Accessories, Men

While the world prepares for New York Fashion Week, Berlin has quietly been hosting a fashion week of its own. The event doesn't get nearly as much attention (with most of the major designers unveiling their collections in either Paris or New York) -- but, nevertheless, there's certainly been some interesting looks coming down the runway.

Like this guy. I don't know what kind of arctic freeze he's preparing for, but rest assured, when the blizzard of the millennium hits, he'll be ready. These gigantic earmuffs -- possibly designed for men with disturbingly large ears -- make the poor guy's head look like the meat on a really, really unappealing sandwich.

To be fair, the muffs were designed by a student at the School of Art and Design -- so, presumably, whoever created them is still learning. Or maybe they're just crazy.

Flying saucer fashion: The latest in haute headgear?

Filed under: Runway Trends

Next time you're heading out in the rain, or just want a little shade on an especially sunny day, why not consider this, er, unique hat from Valentino? It'd definitely keep you dry, and, best of all, it looks like a flying saucer -- what more could you want? OK, maybe the fact that you can't see while you're wearing it is a small problem (speaking of that, how did this model make it down the runway without crashing to her death?).

The odd piece of enormous headgear was part of Valentino's Haute Couture runway show in Paris last week. Couture, if you're not familiar with it, is to fashion what modern art is to painting (sometimes it's good for inspiration, other times it's just weird) -- so rest assured, gargantuan, alien-spaceship style hats won't be showing up on store shelves anytime soon.

But you know, cut out some holes for the eyes, and maybe this would work -- albeit in a Scientology kinda way. What do you think?

Would you wear the flying saucer hat?
