From the iconic pillbox to the classic cap, this fall is delivering hats that go far beyond function.

While we save the traditional straw hats and mesh caps from the summer months, let's embrace the materials of wool, felt, velvet, and corduroy through the fall iterations of the beloved accessory. Seen on the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/fall-winter-trends-runway-shopping-influencers-prada-alaia-chloe">Fall/Winter 2025 runways</a>, we are shown how hats are having a return in fashion as the must-have accessory this season.&nbsp;
As <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/fall-winter-2025-fashion-hat-trends-pillbox-hats">hats</a> tend to be associated with protection,&nbsp;whether from the sun with a wide-brimmed raffia hat or a soft knitted&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/beanie-hat-trend-style-guide-inspiration" target="_blank" rel="noopener">beanie</a>, your head and ears stay warm from the cold. Aside from being useful, they can also make quite a fashion statement. From a vintage-inspired pillbox hat to the French beret, wearing hats has become more than a necessity, and they are now a true trend.&nbsp;
Whether it's to add a finishing touch to a minimalist look or fill a gap in the multiple layers you have on, a hat will always complement an outfit. Being a glamorous component to your wardrobe this season, here is a L'OFFICIEL-approved guide to all things hats.&nbsp;

Designers like <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/loro-piana-womens-fall-winter-2025-collection">Loro Piana</a> and Gigi Burris brought this vintage gem back into the spotlight, drawing attention to the art of hats.&nbsp;
