He invaded the looks of the 2000s to the point that we thought we had finished with him. But surprise, this cult accessory two decades ago returns in force this summer, in a version twice as stylish.
There is like a bohemian air that sings in the changing rooms of Fashion Sphere. While the Boho Chic trend has been on clothing since last year; A typical fashion piece of this imagination seems to have passed between the meshes of the net. If the moders on the street have cheerfully seized, haute couture has been much more reluctant to adopt it.
First popularized in the 1970s, this accessory returns to the front of the stage three decades later. In the 2000’s, a number of celebrities proudly sport it on the top of their heads, placed on detached hair. Sometimes with rhinestones, sometimes with pearls, sometimes in hook; He decorates more than he covers, sublime more than he protects UV. You will understand, this is the net hat. If its origins remain mysterious, the said hat seems to be inspired by the KUFI, a headgear that is attributed to the inhabitants of West Africa, the Maghreb and certain parts of Asia.
At the time, he was so successful that all the stars seized it. In France, it is especially on the singer Cécilia Cara that we see him: she sports it for the needs of “Romeo and Juliet”, the musical. Whether on stage, on glossy paper, on the single as on TV set, she puts it on all go. One day, he adorns himself with pearls; The next one, it is in immaculate hook; Another, he gets purple in a television program. Fashionistas soon followed suit.
They associate it with these famous tulle tulle tulle tulle, adorned with sequins and pearls on the top, less than three francs six sous. Capri pants, a dress brought as a top and a eyelet belt then completed the look. Happy (or painful) memories for millennials! Today, no more question of making it such a literal interpretation.
Those who want to bet on a festival look can wear it in a sublimated version of pearls – associated with a ruffle skirt, santiags, a high bare back and jewelry of golden bodies. If it is perfect for trendy festival -goers, the net hat also fits perfectly in the daily locker room: with a Bermuda, sneakers or taps type Birkenstock, a white tank top for simplicity. For a sharper outfit, we can associate it with heeled flip -flops, Wide Leg jeans and an oversized or curved blazer jacket. Due to its pace, the hat has the advantage of not keeping hot and therefore being perfect for summer.
Most of the followers hooks their own net hat. But for the least manual, several ready-to-wear labels as sometimes offer equally stylish models. What are we waiting for to succumb to it?
