Cloche Hat Styles
Fur, Felt, Linen, Crochet, Straw, and more!
The modest simplicity of the cloche hat is stylish without being overstated. However, if you want a bolder look for your hat, just add a peacock feather and lace! You can accessorize your hat with flowers, feathers, ribbons, or bows to give it a personal flair. Back in the heyday of the cloche hat, certain adornments were used to make statements about the girl wearing the hat. Things such as special knots, bow styles, and ribbon arrangements were used to indicate the relationship status of the wearer.

Black Felt Cloche Hat
A black cloche hat with a feather!
I own several cloche hats of varying colors and materials so that I always have a hat to accessorize my outfit and suit my mood. This black felt cloche hat is warm and stylish. The feather adornments dress it up and bit and add a little fun to a boring winter day. Grey Felt Cloche Hat
A cloche hat for any season!
This gray felt cloche hat is less formal than the black one with feathers. I like to wear this hat in the fall and spring - I feel its lighter color gives it a less heavy, wintery feel. Also, I think the grey goes really well with warm autumn tones and fresh spring hues. Straw Cloche Hat
The perfect summer hat!
You can wear the cloche hat with the brim turned up or turned down. When turned down, the dipping brim of the cloche hat makes it an excellent summer sun hat. This straw cloche hat is perfect for a sunny summer day - the loose weave makes it cool enough to wear in any temperature. Cloche Hats on Flickr
