Abstract

Abstract Recently, hats have been used more frequently as an accessory, contributing to the general image of clothes in men’s collections. This study compared and analyzed the frequency and styles of hat usage in men’s brand collections according to the collections’ images. Types of hats and their frequency of usage in men’s clothes were analyzed among 857 collections from 74 brands between S/S 2006 and F/W 2012. This study also examined the relationship between clothes image and type of hats used. Hats were used in 622 out of 857 collections, and 24 different types of hats were used. In 67 collections, hats were used in at least 71% of clothes. The most frequently used hat was the fedora, followed in frequency by the beanie, cap, bowler, and high hat. The styles of hats in collections varied depending on seasons. In S/S season collections, fedoras were often used, while beanies were more common during the F/W season. This study analyzed styles of hats used in formal, casual, uniformed, and deformed images. Beanies and fedoras were frequently used for the formal image; fedoras, beanies, and plat caps were often used for the casual image; more than 3 types of hats were used together for the uniformed image; and design hats and hats in various styles were used for the deformed image. The results show that hats of various styles were used in collections to express the image of clothes. Keywords: men's hat style(남자 모자 스타일), men's fashion collection(남성 패션 컬렉션), hat image(모자 이미지)
