Fashion Evolution History of Hats

In the history of fashion, hats have always played a very important role. Hats are closely related to popular hairstyles and social customs in the big era. Baseball caps, berets, bowler hats, knitted wool hats... Different kinds of hats represent various styles of the head.

We can't accurately judge the time when human beings began to wear hats. But in primitive times, to resist the cold, people began to wear hats. The hat not only protects the head but also symbolizes many meanings. In ancient times, people could not make beautiful hats, so they wound their heads with cloth towels. In the Middle Ages, the church issued laws to require people to cover their hair, so many simple hats began to appear.

In the 17th century, hats had more obvious class significance: citizens wore dark hats, yellow hats represented bankrupt people, prisoners wore paper hats, kings wore gold crowns, and so on. At the same time, people began to have exaggerated worship of the height above their heads. In the 18th century, the royal family not only loved tall hats but also advocated hair weaving and wigs (Big Hair Style). Since 1840, the overhead scenery has declined dramatically, and the size and outline of the hat suddenly began to be modest and easier to wear in daily life. Until now, the shape of the hat has focused on function and mobility. Only the annual horse race between British nobles, such an extremely important hat occasion, occasionally appeared with some exaggerated hat shapes.

The existence of hats is closely related to the historical changes of the whole era. Throughout the world, different types of hats have always played a very important role.

Next, let's talk about the history of baseball caps.

One day in 1839, Mr. Doubleday of the United States held the first baseball game in Brooklyn. To be able to swing and hit the ball with accurate vision in the bright sun, players customized this kind of cap with a long brim. Because of this special occasion, the name baseball cap came into being. Maybe it's because of the hat that was born in Brooklyn, America. Later, the hip-hop world also went after this kind of hat with a little sense of movement and street style. At the same time, truck drivers will also be loyal to baseball caps, and people also affectionately call baseball caps "daddy caps".
