The Hats Are Hatting—8 Ways to Wear 2025's Most Elegant Accessory "Certain trends are easy to adopt—hats aren't one of them.

Fortunately, the chic outfit creators we look to on repeat for inspiration have already figured them out, posting their favorite ways to style every variety of chapeau on Instagram for us to copy and tweak to fit our style. There are cloche hats and berets, pillbox hats and driver caps—essentially, every hat you could possibly want to wear is covered in the mix of outfits with hats below.
