Not Baseball Caps—Kendall Jenner, Elsa Hosk, and The Row Adore This Spring Hat Trend
When it comes to the defining accessories of spring, it’s not what’s commonly found atop heads that stands out. Baseball caps—traditionally the go-to choice for casual wear—are gradually making way for a softer, more unconventional, and notably sculptural option: the ribbed wool hat, particularly popularized by The Row’s sought-after Falken style. Worn by Kendall Jenner and Elsa Hosk, this hat offers a minimalist approach to bold dressing: it appears understated at first but has a purposeful design in both shape and texture. With its snug, ribbed knit and subtly elongated form, wool bucket hats enhance the face in a manner that a cap does not.
The influence has expanded beyond just The Row's piece. In the realm of street style and up-and-coming brands, there is a noticeable trend emerging: the sloped wool bucket hat. This style evokes a sense of “soft sculpture” rather than a loose, floppy festival hat, reminiscent of vintage cloche hats from the 1920s. Among this style, black seems to be the favored choice among trendsetters and influencers, featuring a curved sloped edge that resembles a wearable art piece rather than merely a hat.
While last spring's go-to accessory was luxury satin scarves, this spring’s essential piece (in light of continued cool temperatures in New York and Paris) is the felted wool bucket hat. These hats require thoughtful consideration before wearing, and they elevate even the most basic white T-shirt and jeans combination.
