It is often called the trickiest item in a man's wardrobe and for good reason too. The hat is a tough fashion piece that can make or break an outfi t. American President John F. Kennedy, a.k.a. “Hatless Jack”, is said to have killed off the accessory in the 1960s – he was the fi rst president to attend his inauguration without wearing one. But hats are back and with summer fast approaching, you'll need something that's both stylish and good for keeping those harmful UV rays off your face.

一帽遮天

帽子是男人衣柜中最難搭配的單品，而整套服裝搭配的成敗可能就在于它。在1960年代，美國總統(tǒng)肯尼迪成為第一個不戴帽子參加就職典禮的總統(tǒng)，曾經(jīng)因此掀起熱評?？夏岬弦苍S沒想到，戴帽風(fēng)潮會在當(dāng)今世界再度“遇熱”，成為炎炎夏日里“人首一頂”的必需。

THE FEDORA軟呢帽

The fedora was a favourite of such American icons as Frank Sinatra, Humphrey Bogart and Gene Kelly. The suited up dandies of the silver screen created a classic style that's been tough to shake. These days it's been liberated as a casual accessory, something for which hip hop artist Pharrell Williams is primarily responsible for. In warmer climates stay away from a wool fedora, so you don't overheat and instead consider a felt or straw one. The fedora's tall, dented crown means it suits shorter guys or those with a bigger build, as it adds height, draws the eye upwards and elongates the frame.

軟呢帽是弗蘭克·辛納屈、亨弗萊·鮑嘉、吉恩·凱利等美國偶像的最愛。大銀幕上西裝革履的花花公子形象深入人心。最近，軟呢帽變身成一個休閑配飾，而這全是嘻哈藝術(shù)家法瑞爾·威廉姆斯的功勞。在炎熱的天氣里，為了不中暑就別戴羊毛軟呢帽了，你可以換一頂氈的或草編的。軟呢帽高而中凹的帽型意味著它更適合個子較矮或體格壯的男士，因?yàn)樗軓囊曈X上增加高度，拉長線條。

THE PANAMA HAT 馬帽巴拿

The misleadingly named Panama hat is actually from Ecuador. Traditionally, they were made from the plaited leaves of the Carludovica Palmata plant, known locally as the Toquilla Palm. They are the go-to item for the wannabe travel writer and a functional, easy way to stand out from the crowd. With a black band, the Panama screams casual sophistication especially when coupled with a pair of Clubmaster Classic Ray-Bans and a white linen shirt. You'll be happy to know they have a strong ability to keep the sun off your face. Good for when you're writing your novel outside a caf? in Milan.

巴拿馬帽其實(shí)來源于厄瓜多爾。傳統(tǒng)上，它是由巴拿馬草的樹葉編成的。它是想要成為旅行作家的人的必選單品，能讓你立刻從人群中脫穎而出。帶一條黑色細(xì)帶的巴拿馬帽給人一種休閑而優(yōu)雅的感覺，尤其是搭配雷朋經(jīng)典俱樂部系列和一件白色亞麻襯衫時。它能有效阻止太陽直射面部。非常適合在米蘭的室外咖啡寫小說的你。

THE CAP FLAT低頂圓帽

The fl at cap, also known as the newsboy cap, the cabbie or gatsby cap, has experienced a surge in popularity in recent years due to the popular BBC gangster series Peaky Blinders set in 1919. But, how does a man wear a fl at cap in summer 2017 without looking like a pensioner? Try dressing like an artist or if that's too vague try French actor and Gallic fashion icon Alain Delon. In terms of fi t, think along similar lines to the baseball cap, which shouldn't be too tight or have too much excess fabric that could cause unsightly bunching at the top of your head.

低頂圓帽也被稱為報(bào)童帽、車夫帽或蓋茨比帽，最近因BBC熱播劇《浴血黑幫》而變得很受歡迎。但是，如何能在2017年夏天戴著低頂圓帽而又不像個囚犯呢？試著像藝術(shù)家那樣穿衣服吧，如果這還不夠清楚，那試試法國演員、高盧時尚達(dá)人阿蘭·德龍的造型吧。在搭配時，和棒球帽類似，帽子不要太緊，也不要過度裝飾，以防你頭頂有太多難看的累贅。
