Types of caps and their names

Fashionable and stylish wardrobe can not do without headgear. The ability to correctly choose a hat for this or that image is a great art.

Headgear is a delicate matter

There is a well-known case from the life of the famous artist Alexander Vertinsky, when he ordered a very good German tailor's coat. It turned out excellent. Sidelo as poured, successfully emphasizing the stately figure of the customer. The irreproachable taste and sense of the style of the talented artist prompted him that the headpiece should match the nature of the sewn thing, but, no matter how tortured Alexander Nikolayevich, it could not be found. Tried to even change the coat. Still in the kit, something did not match. In the end, for the sake of a joke, they tried on an officer's cap. And, about a miracle, it turned out to be an ideally harmonious ensemble. It turned out that the tailor specialized in uniform for the army, and military overcoats are good only with caps.

In fact, to the situation, to the existing wardrobe, while not forgetting to take into account the personal external data, it is not easy to choose a headdress. In this article we will talk about different types of hats and, I hope, we will help in mastering the science of drawing literate and finished images.

Universal Headwear

List the popular types of hats is not so difficult. Unlike hats, they can be counted on the fingers. There are many synonyms for the same headgear. Let's figure out what the actual types of hats and their names are today.

We often hear or meet on the pages of fashion magazines such words: bini, beret, kip, Cossack hat, pilot's cap, ambassador, balaclava, trumpet, collar, cap, cap with earflaps, malachay, kubanka, skullcap, fez, boyarka, cap, cap, scab , Budyonnovka, sluach, gogol, truuh, bomber, trapper, kubanka, treuh, yarmulka, the cap, panama, grandmother (accent on the letter "y"), cap-scarf, cap, etc. All this - the names of the caps . And all of them are just variations of four or five models of hats, invented a long time ago.

Modern designers to create new collections are constantly turning to historical costumes. Classical caps undergo various, sometimes dramatic changes. They appear and disappear visors, lapels, bands, changing the form and ways of draping the crown. There are constant experiments with materials.

Beret

Beret - the modern name of the Russian cap, and in Scotland it is called a tem-o-shenter, or a tem. Both a cap and a tam are hats with a high band around the head and a loose crown that is a one-piece circle or wedges sewn into a circle. The classic tam-o-shenter is made of fine woolen checkered fabric. An indispensable detail is the pompon on the vertex. Kartuz - often a monophonic cap of coarse cloth. In former times the dandies decorated it with flowers, buttons, decorative pins, etc.

Beret has long become a part of both male and female wardrobe. Berets are the headpiece of servicemen. In our country in 2005 they completely replaced their caps.

At one time berets began to make from natural fur, giving to a product rigidity and static. This was achieved due to a tight inner cover of the drape. Now the fur berets are soft and plastic again. Recently, types of knitted hats have been replenished with berets, bound from twisted strips of natural fur.

Variety of hoods

Some people completely abandon hats, saying that they do not like hats. Behind these words is most often hidden inability to choose and correctly to wear them. It's sad, because the head is what we look at first. In winter, in the cold, with bare head to walk dangerously - you can get sick, and the hair is very spoiled by dry air and a sharp temperature drop.

With an active reluctance to buy a headdress, you can get a cap or a cap in the form of a hood fastened or sewn to the neck of a coat or jacket.

Cossacks of the Russian army as a mandatory form element had a hood - it's a very convenient and practical removable hood. Modern designers offer this attribute of the military form to use as a fashionable head accessory. Initially, the hood with long ends a la pea jackets entered the cloakroom of civilians only as a replacement for women's hats. Now it is willingly worn by young men.

Hoods are made from fabric, knit from woolen threads, and also from twisted strips of fur. The choice of materials is great. The main requirement for such a product is that it must be made of plastic, well draped material. The head is allowed in a variety of forms - a round one, of two or more, details, like almost all jackets, and also with a long triangular end, like the hoods of Capuchin monks. The hood can fit around the head, or it can be loose, resembling a cloak or a veil. It is trimmed with fur, decorated with ornaments, knit with the use of a fantasy weave of threads. However, do not get involved in excessive decorating. It is possible that, made of a plain material of smooth texture, this element will most organically fit into the ensemble. Several versions of stylish bows can be seen in the photographs presented in the article.

Balaclava

A kind of hood - a knitted hat, called a balaclava. It is a canvas covering the head of the hood, elongated in the neck. A characteristic feature of the balaclava is the eye slit. Since the thing is made of elastic jersey, then if necessary, the face can be fully opened, slightly stretching the slot and lowering it under the chin. Such a cap is indispensable in the event that a person spends a lot of time outdoors in extreme weather conditions, such as a strong frost with wind or heat with scorching sun and flying in the face with sand or dust.

It is generally believed that balaklava is an attribute of special forces, designed to hide their faces, but in an ordinary peaceful life this cap is absolutely indispensable for hiking in the forest, hunting or fishing. It will protect against mosquitoes, and from ticks, and from adverse weather conditions.

Urban mods will be right if they include a knitted hat with an eye hole in their stylish sets, because even a funny cat-shaped hat, borrowed from a Hollywood movie, looks very organically on young young ladies. Charming cat's ears look incredibly cute on women's heads.

Ushanka and its variations

The hat-earflap has undergone so many changes that it can be called the record holder in this competition. On its basis there were such models as malachai, treuh, bomber and trapper. Initially, they all represented different types of fur caps.

For the soldiers, not only the Russian Imperial Army, or the Red Army (here the historical versions differ), a group of artists headed by such masters as VM Vasnetsov and BM Kustodiev developed a new form. The famous hat-Budyonovka, or, as it was still called, the Frunzevka and Bogatyrka, sharpened by the upper part very much resembled the helmets of the heroes, and the turning away detail - the three. She was walking out of cloth.

At present, the earflaps have become the headwear, which is made of drape, leather, knitted with threads and fur strips. But malachai invariably comes in the form of hats that are made of fur. A distinctive feature of this headgear is a lush tail sewn to the occipital part.

Ushanka-bomber - an accessory of polar pilots. But he firmly established himself in the wardrobes of earthly mods. This hat is made of leather and fur. External parts are leather, and the interior is made of textiles and fur or from the same leather as the top.

Ushanka-trapper is named from the Aglian term, meaning "hunter for a fur-bearing animal". If you list the common types of fur hats, then the trapper will be among the first. The top of this, very fashionable in our time, the headdress is made of waterproof textiles, and the inner, turning away parts are made of fur.

Economy version of the ear-flap is a snag. This is an imitation of a classic hat. Outwardly, she looks like a fur hat, whose ear lobes are raised to the crown and connected. Very effective is the snag from the mink, ferret.

The most fashionable and modern ear-flaps are made with very long ears, which can be wrapped around the neck like a scarf. Sometimes they end in the likeness of pockets, in which it is convenient to warm your hands. Such hats can be made from natural or artificial fur, as well as from various types of yarn.

Pilot and its varieties

Gogol, Moscow, Ambassador - all these are the names of hats a la la Russ, which repeats the form of the cap. The ambassador is an aristocratic headdress, once highly regarded as representatives of the communist elite of the Soviet Union. They were sewn them from the best scrawl, a tiger or mink. At present, this hat was revived for snobs and hipsters. It is very elegant and requires irreproachable additions in the form of a coat, a muffler, shoes, gloves and a briefcase. It is rather difficult to find an ambulancer by the size. This cap should not sit too loose, spontaneously rotating around the head with careless movement. At the same time, it is very unpleasant to feel how she squeezes her forehead, trying to slip onto the top of her head. Such a cap is most correctly ordered in the workshop of an experienced tailor. With a small number of fur it is quite possible to make a snag, that is, to simulate a band with the help of a fold, distributed around the perimeter of the crown.

An elegant longitudinal hall on top of the crown is one of the distinctive features of this headdress. This fold looks very impressive. This gives status to the appearance of the wearer of this headgear.

Gogol is the same ambassador, only without a word. Both headgear are very slender and visually increase the height, which, of course, is complementary to any man.

Cossack and boyar hats

In recent years, the so-called Cossack hats have become very popular in the West. What it is? These types of caps are directly related to the uniform of the Cossack troops. They are made from sheep skin. Very good are such headdresses from long-tailed white or black fur. Also, these hats look great even if they are made of silver or brown astrakhan, karakulchi, lumish, lambskin and girdle.

The pattern of the Cossack hat represents no difficulty - it is a rectangle, the long side of which is equal to the length of the circumference of the head. Short - the height of the cap itself. The bottom, or the upper, crown part is a circle. It can be of the same material as the main part, and maybe also textile.

It is worth paying attention to the following types of caps and their names. This kubanka, papaha and, the most complex and interesting model, is the hummock.

Murmolka has nothing to do with the Cossacks, but talking about the types of winter hats, it will be unfair to ignore this male headdress. Murmolka is a man's hat. Her trullium repeats the kubank, but the hummock has a lapel-blade, which, unlike the famous boyarka, which will be discussed below, has a cut with a forehead.

Boyarku is worn by both women and men. In the photos presented in our article, you can see different types of winter hats, including a boyar. A characteristic feature of this headdress is the two-stage formation formed by the crown and the edge of the lapel. The most expensive models are made of sable, polar fox and mink.

The cap-current is the same boyarka, but textiles are used for its execution - drape, velor, corduroy, velvet, natural or artificial leather, etc. Many kinds of knitted hats are made with knitting needles or crochets according to the pattern of classical current or small Jewish caps .

Jewish hats in modern reading

Very simple in execution, comfortable and practical caps, tight-fitting head, originate in the Jewish fashion. Such kinds of knitted hats, like a bini or a cockerel, are enlarged yarmulke and bale. I must say that knitted hats have excellent plasticity. They can be worn by twisting the bottom edge with a thick short roll or wrapped with a wide bar, or you can pull it up and form the shape of a cock's comb.

Currently, the fashion proposes to wear similar caps, slightly pulling up and back so that the main volume descends to the collar of the back. It will be interesting for the mods how in the coming year it will be most advantageous to drape such types of hats. The photos in this article clearly show the most successful options.

Cap

The main distinguishing feature of this headgear is the visor. This item was borrowed from the cap by many models, traditionally sewn without a visor. This detail is now successfully sewn to the balaclava, to the Bini, to the kubank, to the ear-flap, to the kerchief, to the beret, to the officer's cap, to the shako, etc. It should be noted that the family of caps has grown in the last decades. There are baseball caps, kepi, and caskets. They differ from each other in covering the crown and the length of the visor. Tuglia can consist of one or two parts, or maybe eight wedges. Often, the cap looks like a beret or a cap. She can have a band, and can safely do without it. Textiles, leather and short-necked fur are used as materials for making caps.

Turban

From the Middle East to Europe came the fashion for all kinds of turbans and turbans. Now they are made even from fur, imitating the assembly with a forehead. I must say that the headgear of this style goes very little. A cap in the form of a scarf wrapped around the head suggests an appropriate wardrobe, that is, a dress or coat in a special, precisely calibrated style. You need to have a very delicate taste, to make a harmonious set and not look ridiculous. To soften the eastern character of the accessory can make-up in a moderate European style. European turban should not have a large volume. It is better if it is monophonic, in the color of the main costume. Ornaments in the form of brooches, buttons with rhinestones, feathers and other should be excluded.

How to choose the right hat?

The headgear should be selected not only to the case, but also to the type of appearance. When buying a hat, you need to try it in front of the mirror. If the person does not become prettier, then from such a cap it is better to immediately refuse, no matter how fashionable and beautiful it may be. Attention should be paid to whether the face has become excessively round or elongated. If the knitted cap is pricked - this means that it is made of coarse yarn, and therefore wear it will be uncomfortable. The headgear should not be tight or too loose to hang around on the head. In the first case, it can provoke a headache, and in the second it will interfere with seeing, as when turning or tilting the head, it closes the view. There are caps of universal styles that go to almost everyone, and there are also those that are only for a few. A typical example is a very fashionable hat with cat ears. As funny and cute as it looks on the model, before buying it, you should ask yourself: "What is the most common face?" If it's very serious, strict or concentrated, then it will be more correct to refuse such an accessory. Most knitted hats and some models of fur or felt, in particular, with different ears, as well as pompoms, funny prints, etc., can be recommended only to sufficiently infantile personalities. In extreme cases, wearing such a headdress, you should tune in to a humorous, even frivolous fret. A serious face in a cap with a pompon looks intimidating and comical at the same time. In any case, such a character can not be taken seriously.

Fantasy is most appropriate to show when making caps for babies. In our photos only some types of children's hats are presented. The children are very hilarious looking in hats, decorated with muzzles of animals or voluminous flowers. By and large, they are suitable for almost all types of hats. A hook or knitting needles to tie such an accessory will not be difficult.
