View full detailsCloche hats rose to fashion fame in the 1920s, becoming a defining symbol of modern femininity and streamlined style. The cloche’s close-to-the-head fit perfectly complemented the era’s popular short bob hairstyles, while changing social norms and wartime practicality helped shift fashion toward cleaner, simpler silhouettes. Traditionally made from wool felt and finished with minimal trim—often a simple ribbon or leather band—women wore cloche hats pulled low, nearly to the eyes, creating an unmistakably chic, face-framing look.
Today’s women’s cloche hats keep that timeless bell-shaped charm (the name comes from the French word for “bell”) while embracing modern needs for comfort and versatility. Modern cloches are offered in a variety of materials for year-round wear: natural straw and lightweight poly-straw for breathable summer styling, plus felted or boiled wool cloches for cooler fall and winter days. Many updated designs also feature slightly wider brims for better sun coverage and adjustable sizing for a more secure, customized fit. Whether you’re dressing for a garden party, travel, weddings, or everyday sophistication, a cloche hat adds polished vintage character with modern wearability.
