If designers want you to take anything away from the fall/winter 2024 runways, it's that hats are going to be THE essential accessory as soon as the temps drop. Let me fill you in: There were newsboy caps on the Chanel, Anna Sui, Prada, and Celine runways. Then, pillbox hats were spotted at Altuzarra, Alberta Ferretti, and Emporio Armani. Cowboy hats and western touches were seen at Willy Chavarria, Edward Crutchley, and Moschino. Oh, and fuzzy trapper hats were pretty much everywhere. I'm talking Kim Shui, Moncler, Off-White, Sandy Liang, and Dsquared. Caps, a weekend wardrobe staple, were all over Coach, Tommy Hilfiger, Akris, and Blumarine. And the beret—a timeless classic—was a staple at Dior and Armani. So, please! I'm begging you...don't miss out on getting the most fabulous accessory to style with the best fall trends. Scroll through to find your new fave hat...and if you have no idea what some of these trends are, no worries, you'll get the visual in a quick scroll. :)
