What is a 1920s Hat?
The most recognizable, emblematic headwear style of 1920s is called a cloche hat. Cloche hats are bell-shaped hats that fit close to the face. The cloche hat style emcompasses a wide variety of looks. They may be symmetrical or assymetrical, and they may or not have embellishments like bows, beading, or floral details.
