The Materials of Hats

In daily life, there are many materials to make a hat, such as felt, fabric, leather, straw, woolen, resin, etc. There is a wide range of materials and different materials have different effects in production and design. With time gone by, people are picky about the different needs of hats to show their personalities. Therefore, there is an enhancement for materials. Designers have aimed this need as the goal to push out the old and bring in the new properly.

When the styles of hats are stable, the creative design of color and material creates a more direct visual impact. On one hand, designers can through new techniques to take the best advantage of materials when processing. On the other hand, different materials can obtain different visual effects. (like the picture below)

The Color Designs of Hats

The color design of a hat is more important than others in a sense because people have a more straight feeling in sensory stimulation of color than the style of a hat. No matter in a long distance or a short distance, color is the first thing that people get at first sight. Therefore, we need to get the right color proportions for a hat, an outfit, and skin complexion in the design process.

1. Utilitarian Color Design

Pay more attention to consumers’ feelings in the color design, combining practicality and comfort. It’s more important to think about the whole and consider the environmental color and the whole atmosphere when doing the color design of a hat.

2. Surrealistic Color Design

This kind of idea often borrows from stage performances. Therefore, this kind of hat is with a sense of drama and exaggeration. Hats, dotted with bright-color feathers, are revealing of a little sense of allure when dancing, which is incomparably beautiful.

3. Rebellious Color Design

This kind of design abandons the common understanding of the color design of a hat, and merges rebellious thoughts, which can make the design more extending and exaggerated. It’s usually showing a unique effect of color designs, or with a funny, pretty, or punk visual effect. The aim is to emphasize the hat on the head as a highlighting spot for the whole outfit.
