Newsboy Cap – This casual headgear is similar in style to a flat cap, but rounder in shape and typically with a button on top. As its name indicates, this style started out as a hat for men and, in the 19th and early 20th centuries, it was especially associated with newspaper boys. However, recently it has become a top choice for women, often in tweed. The Duchess of Cambridge has given a Royal seal of approval to this look, while singers Rihanna, Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears have all been seen wearing these caps too.
Cloche Hats – The word “cloche” is the French for bell, and that describes the shape of these hats, which were popular in the 1920s. This type of chic cap started out as evening wear but was later adapted as a straw or cotton summer hat too. In the 21st century, cloches have made a comeback after being worn by Angelina Jolie in the film 'The Changeling', set in the 1920s, with Victoria Beckham among the stars who have adopted this look.
Floppy Hat/Wide Brimmed Hat – The perfect choice for summer wear is a sun hat with a wide, floppy brim, giving great protection from the sun's rays. Film star Anne Hathaway and actress Keri Russell, currently appearing as a glamorous spy in the retro TV drama 'The Americans', are among the celebrities who favour this ever-popular summer staple, which is also great for sheltering their faces from the cameras.
Western Style Hat – If you've ever seen a Western, you know this type of hat, with its wide turned-up cowboy brim. However, modern-day cowgirls and country music stars often tend to favour a lighter straw version, sometimes trimmed with beads. Actress Catherine Zeta Jones is one famous fan of cowboy hats, along with American singer Jessica Simpson and country star Carrie Underwood.
Girls' Fedora – Back in the Prohibition era of the 1920s, the Fedora was very much a men's hat, associated with gangsters. Male celebrities still wear this style of hat, but if anything it is even more popular with female stars, including actress Cameron Diaz who has been spotted wearing a white fedora.
Military style Cap – Lady Gaga, a superstar who has in the past spoken out about her own problems with hair loss, is one of the celebrities wearing soldier-style headgear, while Madonna has also often been seen in military caps.
Baseball Cap or Snapback Hat – Originally made popular in America, these casual hats are now worn in summer in the UK too by men and women alike, and were one of the fashion trends featured on the catwalk last year. 'Twilight' actress Kristen Stewart is among the celebs seen wearing a baseball cap.
Women’s Bowler Hat –If you thought bowler hats were just for male civil servants in bygone ages, think again. This style of hat has been making a comeback as chic women's wear, and Keira Knightley gave the bowler a boost by wearing one in a perfume ad, while Sienna Miller and Fearne Cotton have also been seen sporting the hats.
Faux Fur Cap – For warm and stylish winter hats, you can't beat Russian-style false fur. Singer Kate Bush wore a hat in this style as the crowning touch to a whole outfit for snowy weather while promoting her album '50 Words for Snow'.
Beanies/Knitted Hats – These warm caps are also thought of as winter wear, but now increasingly worn all the year round in different fabrics. Singer-songwriter Ellie Goulding gave the look a slight twist by wearing a multi-coloured beanie with a pom-pom attached.
