Hat with a veil

Fashion trends

Each woman of fashion, having decided to choose for himself a hat with a veil, asks the question: “Is it relevant today? Perhaps the time of the veils has passed? ”

A few years ago, this question could be answered with confidence: “Yes!”. Today we say: “No! It has come! ” But first things first.

The word "veil" comes from the French Voile - veil, curtain. The manner of covering the face with a mesh cloth came to Europe from the east. The once long and almost opaque cape, changing in centuries, only in the 40s of the twentieth century, acquires the appearance of a headdress with a rare flirty mesh that barely covers half of the face. Having reached its apogee in the 50s, already in the 60s, the popularity of this ornament is gradually disappearing. And in the 70s, the veil is firmly established in wedding salons as a romantic attribute of a rare celebration. And so she would have stayed there if at the beginning of the XXI century the couturier of the whole world did not embrace the craze of 60s aesthetics, on the wave of which a model of a knitted hat with a veil appears.

This fashion accessory, first introduced by Jill Sander in the Spring-Summer 2012 collection, is original and far from ordinary as far as the talent of its creator, Briton Stephen Jones, one of the best modern hats, is refined and non-trivial.

The unique combination of a sports cap and a thin flying veil left no one indifferent. The fashion bloggers' controversy about the relevance, wearability, extravagance of the new headdress did not have time to calm down, as the Jones idea was taken up and reinterpreted by Chanel. In 2015, at a show in Paris, knitted hats of pastel colors with a scattering of floral decorations and a large veil from Karl Lagerfeld again draw the attention of the public.

So, with the light hand of Stephen Jones, a hat with a veil wins the podium, finding new style touches.

What to wear?

A cap with a veil is quite a shocking piece of clothing. And, like any outrageous thing, it requires work on the image. It is organic in spaces of styles casual and grunge, the eclecticism of which allows you to create different in character images: from business urban and romantic and refined to deliberately negligent.

  • A dark veil in combination with a blue or black beanie is good both with pieces of outerwear and with everyday sets;
  • A voluminous overcoat jacket, straight trousers, or navy, almost black jeans, chelsea boots, a voluminous rectangular silhouette leather bag is one of the options for a fashionable look.
  • The combination of an extravagant cap with a business jacket and classic or slim jeans, shirt and shorts are great.
  • An interesting set will consist of a hat with a veil, a jacket, a pencil skirt, boots with low heels or stilettos;
  • The combination of such a hat, leggings and a large knit sweater is perfect. Laconic color bulk bag or backpack complement the image;
  • The hat with a skirt, a vest with a stylish print and a jacket made of leather or denim looks modern with a veil. Here, as an accessory, you can use a clutch of matte leather. Slip-ons, sneakers, or loafers will come to the site.
  • Knitted from bulk yarn hats with flowers, sequins and rhinestones a la Lagerfeld, require a more delicate approach to the formation of a stylish image. It is unlikely that anyone would risk trying on such a hat with a tweed suit in the style of Chanel, but it may be quite appropriate, complete with a light coat of straight cut and flat-soled shoes.
  • One of the variants of an evening dress can be a combination of a fitting green midi-length dress with a cap and a burgundy veil.

When making various combinations of clothes, it is important to remember that style is not blindly following fashion trends, but a well-calculated and built combination of things in one ensemble, taking into account the features of the figure, such as the person, age, social status. Neglecting the fact that it is you who are in favor of the philistine “now everyone is like that”, it is easy to lose individuality and become a fashion victim - “fashion victim” is a ridiculous and funny character.

How to choose?

It is no secret to anyone that the choice of cap depends primarily on the shape of the face.

  • The square face is characterized by a low forehead and wide cheekbones. Shifted closer to the back of the head, a magnificently decorated cap-cap visually balances the heavy lower part. A hat with a veil is not suitable for such a person;
  • Owners of a triangular face, with a broad forehead, high cheekbones and chin-length, need to combine a cap from Jill Sander with a properly chosen hairstyle. The massive top will balance the strands of hair of medium length. Chanel volume cap is possible only in the environment of soft, lush curls, creating a harmony of top and bottom;
  • The peculiarity of the round face is smooth lines. Any headgear extended upwards visually lengthen the line of the forehead. Round and volume caps are disharmonious. A cap with a veil is unfavorable to expand the line of the cheekbones;
  • But the ladies with a rectangular face cap with a veil will be most welcome! The veil line will create an additional horizontal, will balance the elongated shape of the forehead and chin;
  • Oval faces are universal: any headdress will look great on them.

A little bit about makeup

In creating an extravagant image, it is unacceptable to neglect the details. One wrong touch can ruin your work hours. Therefore, it is important to remember that the veil draws attention to the person on whom it is necessary to correctly place accents. Painted red lipstick lips will make the image more sexy, and active eye makeup - more romantic.

Fashion makeup 2016 is based on a combination of natural shades. Help to create a natural image of pastel colors. Classic black arrows are still relevant.

Make-up artists call the year 2017 the year of bright makeup, in which, like the make-up of the 80s, the combination of brightly colored eyes and red lipstick is not considered vulgar.

Experiment!

Decorations

How individual is the image of each woman, so different are the decorations. With a cap from Jill Sander, a massive silver or gold jewelery is appropriate. Large earrings, rings, pendants will add an element of celebration to the image.

Modest jewelery in casual style is not bad either. Small studs, thin rings, bracelets will fill the look with the charm of everyday life.

The hat decorated with a veil and flowers does not require additional accessories. Provided that the rest of the set of clothes will be restrained and concise on the silhouette and color scale, at the shoulder level you can pin a brooch to match the decor on the cap, or put on a flower ring.

Features and benefits

Paraphrasing the classics, we can say that veils of all ages are submissive. And this will not be an exaggeration. The democratic shape and wide color range of caps with a veil made of thin cashmere or wool make it a versatile wardrobe item that can be worn at any age. She will look cute on a girl, stylish on a girl, and bold on a woman.

A cap with a veil and flowers carries the idea of ​​youth and spring. A large, somewhere even careless mating will harmoniously complement the appearance of a young girl, but will unprofitably emphasize the age of a woman who is a little over thirty.

Selection of stars

Perhaps, one of the most ardent and bright fans of the cap with a veil can be called Anna Dello Russo - the advising fashion editor of Japanese Vogue.Having tried on a novelty one of the first, she made her an indispensable attribute of any outfit: from evening dress to a men's tuxedo with a bow tie.

Review Analysis

Despite the proud march of various models of hats with a veil on the catwalk, netizens are still not unequivocal in their statements about the fashion trend. Someone falls in love with this unusually elegant thing at once, not accepting any “but”, someone conservatively denies it (mind you, me, mind), someone frankly slanders a designer find.

So what is a hat with a veil: a shocking trick, or refined chic?

Of course, the one and the other!

Any epatage over time can become a classic and it will certainly be called a sample of refined chic.

In any case, the choice is yours! It is important to remember that ready-made recipes for beauty and style do not exist, and it depends only on you how harmoniously the fashionable novelty will sound in the ensemble you have created!
