Every print situation of Harper’s Bazaar options “Within the Market,” a column highlighting one of the best new objects of the season, shot behind the scenes within the Bazaar trend closet. For the start of fall, senior trend and equipment editor Jaclyn Alexandra Cohen provides us an up-close have a look at the season’s greatest designer hats.
For the autumn/winter 2024 season, the Bazaar trend crew is tipping our hats to the entire designers who confirmed headwear of their collections. As of late, hats have a tendency to suit into one in every of two classes: Both they are a practical accent worn as part of our outerwear uniforms, or they are a assertion piece worn to a proper occasion. This season, nonetheless, hats have been reimagined as the brand new “It” accent for day put on, meant to be styled in a means that expresses the wearer’s persona.
Not solely did hats make a runway comeback this season, however celebrities gave us a head rush over viral seems with out-of-the-box headpieces. From Beyoncé (who wore cowboy hat seems all through her Cowboy Carter promotion cycle, together with this unimaginable ensemble on the fall Luar present) to Greta Lee (who wore a white cap with an identical head-to-toe white swimsuit by The Row on the crimson carpet final fall at SCAD Savannah Movie Competition), hats are exhibiting up in every single place, and in each fashion.
The perfect half is that there is one thing for everybody. Do you lean extra polished and minimal? Strive Altuzarra’s tackle a Jackie O pillbox hat, worn with elegant monochromatic daywear that simply transitions to night. Wish to make a press release? Look to Chanel’s outsized pastel sunhats with brooches, worn with traditional day-wear separates and colourful ruffled clothes.
The entire season’s greatest hats—from main designers in addition to heritage specialty hat manufacturers—got here by way of the Bazaar trend closet for our current fall and winter print-issue picture shoots. Under I curated 25 of my favorites throughout six classes.
Assertion Hats
Steal the highlight with a shot-stopping topper. From Chanel’s outsized wide-brim straw hat in an ideal shade of pink to Jil Sander’s metallic mesh fringe headpiece, these convey precisely the fitting contact of drama. As we noticed in Louis Vuitton and Chanel, they give the impression of being coolest with tailor-made day-wear separates or flowy fall clothes.

Pillbox Hats
For the women who hat, pillboxes have resurged in a variety of choices that really feel extra trendy and enjoyable. Loro Piana and Gigi Burris put forth traditional types with new textured particulars, whereas Mains De Vapeur’s colourful vary comes with a refined built-in brim element. Whether or not you put on with a monochromatic pencil-skirt-and-blazer outfit or assertion long-sleeved knit costume, these are positive to provide your look a elegant end.

Equestrian Hats
Cowboy and equestrian hats are not only for Western settings—simply have a look at Beyoncé at Vogue Week. Designer Willy Chavaria has at all times made the case for cowboy hats, that are a staple accent in his collections season after season. The perfect methods to put on these are with elegant suiting or a midi assertion costume like at Prada, for an opposites-attract strategy.

New Bucket Hats
Bucket hats are sometimes seen as a daywear accent for the hotter spring/summer season months, however this season, designers pushed the boundaries, creating night choices with crystals and feathers together with cashmere and shearling fall/winter beanie options. I like the concept of sporting one in every of these as a press release for an evening out along with your favourite cocktail costume.

The perfect half is that they give the impression of being coolest along with your typical uniform. Whether or not you are a jeans-and-a-t-shirt woman or lean extra tailor-made, they only work!

Paperboy Hats and Berets
These streamlined, suave hats are classics, and designers are actually leaning into the small print that give them that rather more pizzazz. Really, what’s extra glamorous that Dior’s leather-based beret with gold studs, or Dolce & Gabbana’s added mesh veil? I like the concept of going full-out for a press release and sporting one in every of these with a leopard-print coat (the brand new impartial for the autumn!). However they’d be simply as stylish along with your favourite wool wrap or scarf coat.
