Frequently Asked Questions about Cloches

What defines a cloche hat?

A cloche is a close-fitting, bell-shaped hat that sits low on the head, typically covering the forehead. The name comes from the French word for bell. It's one of the most feminine hat shapes, with roots in 1920s fashion.

What materials are cloches made from?

Wool felt, straw, cotton, cashmere, and crochet raffia are all common. Wool and cashmere for fall/winter, straw and cotton for spring/summer. The material choice changes the hat from cozy and warm to light and breezy.

How should a cloche fit?

Snugly a cloche should hug your head and sit low, just above or at your eyebrows. Unlike hats that perch on top of the head, the cloche's charm is its close-fitting silhouette. Most come in specific sizes, so measure your head.

What face shapes suit a cloche?

Cloches are particularly flattering on oval and heart-shaped faces. The low brim frames the eyes and cheekbones beautifully. Round faces can also wear cloches well, especially styles with asymmetric brims or decorative details that create visual angles.

What occasions work for a cloche?

Cloches suit anything from a weekend farmers market to a dressy brunch to a fall day out. They're inherently stylish without being loud the kind of hat that elevates a simple outfit effortlessly.
