Is this hat style for men or women? At Lock & Co. we know that a hat is more than an accessory – it is a statement style that you wear with confidence.
In this article the Lock & Co. team share their favourite hat styles that can be worn by men and women.
“The classic baseball cap defies expectations of luxury, but this cashmere wool blend cap is undeniably beautiful. It feels exceptionally soft to the touch and incredibly comfortable. With the adjustable clasp, I get the perfect fit every time. The vibrant colour adds a bold pop to my outfit, and its warmth, paired with breathability, makes it an ideal choice for year-round wear.”

“Choosing a favourite hat from Lock & Co. is no easy task, as there are so many incredible options to choose from. However, I’ve settled on the Wetherby Trilby in green. Green has always been my favourite colour, and it happened to match perfectly with what I was wearing that day. The Wetherby is one of those hats that’s both casual and elegant, and it transitions seamlessly from day to night, which is exactly what I need. It’s soft, luxurious, lightweight, and durable - functional yet stylish. While the Wetherby is part of the men’s collection, I believe hats are inherently unisex, and in today’s world, there are no strict rules when it comes to style. It’s all about how you feel when you wear it - after all, you should wear the hat, not let the hat wear you."

“The French beret is a classic style for both men and women. The deep navy stands out well while complementing almost any colour I pair it with. The pure wool gives it an incredibly soft feel and a comfortable fit!”

“The Fairbanks is a perfect blend of timeless elegance and modern versatility. A touch of sophistication that complements any outfit. A statement piece that transcends trends, making it the ideal unisex hat for any occasion.”
Mik - Lock & Co. Hatters
"I choose the Meredith fedora in black, purely because the hat has a beautiful braided outer band detailing, when worn by men it looks more masculine and when worn by ladies it instantly looks very elegant. A hat suited to both men and women."
Jay - Lock & Co. Hatters
"I've always loved the classic aesthetic of a bakerboy cap—dare I say, they look pretty cool. The style feels just as timeless on women as it does on men. The Leather Tremelo won me over instantly—all this cap needs is a Breton stripe top by day and a patent coat by night. It’s so versatile, and no wonder it’s a bestseller."
Karen - Lock & Co. Hatters
“The bowler hat, with its versatile and utilitarian origins, has evolved from a functional hard hat for gamekeepers to an iconic fashion piece, popularised by figures like Charlie Chaplin, who was one of our customers. I like wearing hats that tell a story and/or are aesthetically pleasing. I appreciate hats that blend function and form, complementing both structured outfits like suits and more fluid evening wear. This hat for me is a timeless piece with a classic shape and a fascinating history. It is a great pleasure to continue wearing it in a way that feels right for me in this day and age.”

The right fit is essential for both comfort and style. A well-fitting flat cap should feel secure without being tight, sit correctly on your head, and complement your face shape.
A flat cap is a rounded, soft-crowned hat with a short, stiff brim at the front. First appearing in Northern England in the 14th century, flat caps became embedded in British and Irish life after a 1571 law encouraged their wear among men of the working classes. By the late 19th and early 20th century, they were worn by everyone from labourers and farmers to gentlemen at leisure. Today, the flat cap retains its heritage charm while being embraced as a versatile style in both town and country.
A flat cap is one of the most versatile hats you can own. Whether you are dressing for a weekend walk, a day in the city, or a smart country wedding, the flat cap adds effortless polish while remaining comfortable and practical. Here is everything you need to know about wearing one with confidence.
Flat caps are designed to last for years, but proper care is key to maintaining their shape, colour, and quality. Different materials -wool, tweed, linen, leather - require slightly different cleaning approaches.
Flat caps are travel-friendly by design, but a little care goes a long way in keeping them looking sharp - whether you are storing them at home or packing them for a trip.
Getting the right size is the key to a perfect fit. Here’s how to measure your head accurately and choose the right flat cap size.
