Margot Robbie Wearing Baker Boy Hat

last updated 12 March 2018

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again. Accessories are back in a major way for autumn. Moving away from the minimalism of bygone days, autumn 2018 is all about bold looks. And we’re loving it. After all, fashion is meant to be fun, right? As the cooler weather approaches, we’ve begun to see more hats on influencers and celebrities alike. Among the usual suspects (baseball caps and beanies), there seems to be a cool new look in the mix… and it’s not the beret.

We’re talking about the baker boy hat, which we first noticed popping up on our Instagram feeds. While we were initially sceptical whether this style would take off, it’s proven to be popular outside of just Instagram. Most recently, Margot Robbie stepped out wearing one at JFK airport in New York. With the brim pulled down over her eyes, presumably to conceal her identity in public (we can’t blame her for wanting to avoid the paps), one could say that the hat topped off her look perfectly.

We love Robbie for so many reasons: Her support for females in the film industry, the fact that she loves Australian designers, and her ability to pull off even the most “out there” dresses are just a few examples. So, needless to say, when she gets behind a trend, we instantly become more inclined to try it.

By wearing the cap with a sleek ensemble, Robbie kept the look fashion-forward rather than costume-y, giving us a good idea how to style the trend ourselves. The next time you put on your go-to all black outfit, consider adding this statement hat. It will transform your classic look into something very trendy and of-the-moment.
