From New York to London, the trilby hat has been a staple of sophisticated wardrobes for both men and women for decades. A stylized heir to the fedora born in the late 19th century, it today embodies understated luxury and effortless refinement. From red carpets to music stages, to the most contemporary street style, the trilby transcends trends. But how can you wear it with confidence and style? Here's our exclusive guide to elevating this symbol of timeless elegance.
The art of wearing the Trilby
It's all in the attitude. The Trilby reveals its versatility depending on how it's worn. Classically, it's tilted slightly forward to emphasize the gaze and assert a controlled look.
But contemporary fashion plays with codes: worn further back to reveal the forehead, it evokes chic casualness. Conversely, worn straight, it embodies structured minimalism. And if you tilt it subtly to one side, you achieve a strikingly modern retro charm.
Every face has its own Trilby
Oval or heart-shaped faces naturally complement the Trilby silhouette—high crown, narrow brim—for perfect harmony. Round faces can also adopt it with elegance: simply play with the angle to refine the features. Looking for personalized advice? Explore our Hat Guide.
The Trilby for Men
An icon of the contemporary gentleman, the Trilby enhances the silhouette without ever overdoing it. Crafted in understated felt, it pairs remarkably well with suits. For a more urban look, wear it with a crisp t-shirt, an open shirt, or even sneakers: the hat then becomes a signature, blending casualness and sophistication.
When the good weather arrives, opt for a Trilby in fine straw or linen – light, airy, irresistibly summery.
A signature piece in your image
The trilby isn't just an accessory—it's a statement. It adapts to every wardrobe and every mood. With its range of luxurious materials, subtle or bold hues, and impeccable cuts, it reflects your style like no other.
Material : For summer, choose breathable linen or cotton. In fall and winter, felt adds warmth and texture.
Color : Black or brown for timeless elegance; brighter shades for bold radiance.
Size : Fit is key. Not too tight, not too loose: a well-tailored trilby naturally accentuates your look.
