Hat Sizing Chart

Hats offer both style and function. From adding the perfect finishing touch to your outfit to offering sun protection, hats provide endless benefits. However, no matter your favorite style, it's important to make sure a hat fits you correctly before purchasing it.

 *IMPORTANT* It is important to note that these size correspondents are not always exactly matching between brands and styles and every hat is a little bit different.  We are always happy to measure the inside of a hat you see on our site to your head size to ensure a good fit before shipping your order.

Hat Sizing:

Hat sizing comes in three general  sizes. 

• The most commonly used sizing you will see here are SM, MD, LG, XL and occasionally 2 & 3X sizes .
• The second most common sizing that we have on our site is that of half-sizes. Meaning there are usually only two sizes: SM/MD, and LG/XL. Occasionally there are 2X sizes as well.
• The more traditional sizing is that of the exact size in inches and/or in centimeters. You will commonly see these sizes on more expensive hats.

Men's and Women's Hat Sizes 

Some men's hats come in a one-size-fits-all style, but you'll more commonly find specific size ranges such as S to XL or 6 to 8. This wide range of measurements offers men the ability to choose their favorite style then create a comfortable, custom fit.

Women's hats, which usually come in a one-size-fits-all size, typically fit a head circumference of around 21 1/2 to 22 1/4 inches. Most of the time, women's hats will come with either an interior drawstring or adjustable band to help create more of a tailored fit. 

Even though there aren't as many size options, women can — and often do — wear any men's hat style.

How to Measure Your Head 

To  measure your head and figure out your hat size , you'll want to first grab a measuring tape or a 25-inch string and ruler. Once you've gathered your supplies, follow these three quick and easy steps: 

• Measure your head:  Using your measuring tape or piece of string, evenly wrap it all the way around your head until it overlaps. Be sure to keep it about 1 inch above your ears for the most accurate measurement.
• Find your size:  Once you've obtained your head circumference measurement, take your measuring tape or string and measure the length on your ruler. 
• Use the hat size chart:  To find your hat size, take your ruler measurement and find the corresponding size on the chart. Usually, these charts will list the measurements in centimeters and inches. The average adult hat size is between 53 and 58 centimeters. 
• If your measurement falls between two different sizes, we recommend sizing up to the nearest 1/8-inch. You can then use the hat's sizing tape to size your hat down if necessary. 

It is important to keep in mind that even though there is an industry standard, each hat manufacturer is different. There can be variations and inconsistencies in sizing depending on what company created the hat. That's why it's important to measure your head and look at the hat's specific sizing chart to ensure you find the perfect fit.

What Is UPF?

Whether you're out in the sun all day or only on occasion, protection from harmful UV rays is paramount. People are increasingly turning to ultraviolet protection factor clothing, as it helps prevent sunburns and the long-term effects of prolonged sun exposure, including sunspots, premature wrinkles and skin cancer.

In this guide, we'll discuss the definition of UPF and UPF clothing and examine how it compares to the better-known SPF standard. We'll also talk about the benefits of wearing one of the most popular UPF clothing items — hats.

Benefits of UPF

UPF is to clothing what sun protection factor is to sunscreen — it indicates the fraction of UV light that can penetrate a fabric. For instance, a 25 UPF rating means the fabric lets in 1/25, or 4%, of the UV radiation, and a garment with a UPF rating of 50 lets in 1/50, or 2%, of the UV radiation. 

The UPF clothing industry has seen remarkable growth in recent years, expanding from mainly practical items to a wider variety of attractive, everyday clothing styles. UPF clothing is now available in thousands of designs by dozens of companies, all of which use treated fabrics, tighter weaves or both to block UV rays more effectively. Some clothing manufacturers specialize in UPF apparel, including Coolibar, UV Skinz and Mott50. Other well-known brands, like Athleta and Uniqlo, also offer UPF items now.  This surge in popularity is partly due to frustrations with sunscreen, which include its uncomfortable greasy feeling, the need to apply it frequently and the risk it may pose to aquatic life. Over recent decades, consumers have become more aware of the dangers of extended exposure to sunlight, which has also contributed to the growing popularity of SPF clothing. 

UPF protective clothing, like sunscreen, undergoes testing at independent laboratories, but UPF testing is currently not a requirement. Generally, companies that manufacture and sell UPF items in the United States follow complementary standards established by the  American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists  and  ASTM International , formerly known as the American Society for Testing and Materials. Clothing tags will often say the items have a UPF rating, but will not mention whether they have met those standards specifically.  

If the tag includes a  Seal of Recommendation from the Skin Cancer Foundation , that shows compliance, but not all companies apply for the distinction. 

Laboratories use AATCC and ASTM protocols to gauge the percentage of UV radiation that penetrates a specific fabric. Some UV rays pass through to the skin directly via micro-spaces located between fibers, and the fibers will absorb or deflect other rays. Moisture can also affect a garment's UPF rating, with a dry fabric usually providing more protection than the same piece when it's wet.  

Recommended Ratings

Garments with UPF ratings below 15 are not sun-protective. To get the voluntary Seal of Recommendation from the Skin Cancer Foundation, the item must earn a 30 or higher rating from either the ASTM or AATCC. Any rating above 30 provides sufficient protection, though 50 is the best. While a UPF rating can technically be higher than 50, it won't offer significantly better protection, so garments with ratings above 50 will report it as "50+." 

UPF vs. SPF — What's the Difference?

UPF and SPF are both standards for measuring UV protection. Most everyone is familiar with SPF, which has measured sunscreen effectiveness for decades. In contrast, the UPF standard is relatively new and created specifically for rating UV protection offered by fabrics. Originally, sun-protective materials in the United States used SPF ratings, and the UPF standard didn't come into existence until later. Since applying for a UPF rating is not mandatory, many sun-protective clothing manufacturers continue to use the SPF standard.    

SPF Rating System 

Companies perform SPF testing on humans. SPF measures how long someone can stay under the sun before their skin starts to burn. For instance, if someone starts to get a sunburn after only 10 minutes, if they apply adequate sunscreen with an SPF 15 rating, the sunscreen should give them 150 minutes of sun protection. 

It's essential to note that, while sunblocks with the same SPF ratings will provide identical protection from UVB rays, no sunscreen protects you from all UVA rays. Even if a sunscreen claims to protect against UVA rays, the SPF standard currently doesn't measure protection from UVA rays. 

While researchers still believe UVB rays primarily cause sunlight-induced skin damage, particularly sunburn, many experts hypothesize UVA rays may be involved in other sun damage types, including wrinkles, aging and skin cancers. 

UPF Rating System 

Manufacturers of UPF fabrics don't test their effectiveness on human subjects. Instead, they usually use spectrophotometer tools. The UPF rating shows what percentage of UV radiation the clothing's fabric absorbs. 

For instance, a garment with a 50 UPF rating lets only 1/50th UV radiation from the sun go through it, meaning the garment will reduce your exposure to radiation by 98% in places the fabric protects. 

One advantage the UPF standard has over the SPF standard is that it measures protection against UVB and UVA rays.

Why Get a Hat With UPF Protection?

If you're only going to invest in one clothing item with UPF protection, a hat is perhaps the best choice. Benefits of UPF hats include the following.

• You can still be stylish :  If you're new to UPF, you may not realize UPF hats come in a wide variety of styles, meaning you won't have trouble finding a hat design that suits your tastes. 
• It provides better protection :  UPF hats aren't only an alternative to sunscreen on your face — they offer better protection than sunscreen, as they shield you from UVA and UVB rays. 
• There is no need to reapply :  Put on your UPF hat and you're good to go — no need to reapply every few hours. 
• You won't have to apply sunscreen on your children :  If you're the parent of young children, you know how much of a struggle it can be to put sunscreen on them. Having them wear UPF hats will protect their face, ears and neck from harmful sun rays. 
• There are no annoyances :  By using a UPF hat instead of sunscreen, you don't have to deal with all the irritations associated with sunscreen — your skin won't feel greasy, you'll never have to experience the sting of getting sunscreen in your eyes and you won't have to worry about your protection washing off when you go in the water.   
• They're a great choice if you suffer from photosensitivity :  Sun sensitivity can result from skin care products, medical conditions and some medications. If you struggle with this condition, consider getting a hat with UPF protection next time you go out in the sun.     
• They're more environmentally friendly :  As we mentioned earlier, some  chemicals used in sunscreens threaten marine life . By choosing SPF hats for your sun protection, you're not only benefiting yourself — you're helping Mother Nature.

How to Measure Your Head Size

Finding the perfect hat is about more than style and function. It's also about fit. When they fit right, hats can complement an outfit and enhance your face. When hats don't fit right, they may end up hidden in a box in the back of your closet. The most stylish hat in the world won't be much use if it's always sliding down over your eyes or tucked out of sight.

If you're eyeing the perfect headwear, it's important to figure out what size you need before you commit to the purchase. Even hats labeled as "one size fits most" aren't always for everyone.  The first step to finding the right fit for you is to measure your head accurately and consult the sizing chart above.

You'll want to first grab a measuring tape or a 25-inch string and ruler. Once you've gathered your supplies, follow these three quick and easy steps: 

• Measure your head: Using your measuring tape or piece of string, evenly wrap it all the way around your head until it overlaps. Be sure to keep it about 1 inch above your ears for the most accurate measurement.
• Find your size: Once you've obtained your head circumference measurement, take your measuring tape or string and measure the length on your ruler. 
• Use the hat size chart: To find your hat size, take your ruler measurement and find the corresponding size on the chart. Usually, these charts will list the measurements in centimeters and inches. The average adult hat size is between 53 and 58 centimeters. 

It is important to keep in mind that even though there is an industry standard, each hat manufacturer is different. There can be variations and inconsistencies in sizing depending on what company created the hat.  That's why it's important to measure your head and look at the hat's specific sizing chart to ensure you find the perfect fit. 

How to Measure Your Hat Size

To determine your correct size, you first need to understand that hats come in three general sizes:

• The more traditional sizing is that of the exact size in inches and/or in centimeters. You will commonly see these sizes on more expensive hat

Measuring your head and using the hat sizing chart above will give you a general idea of what size hat you should wear. However, it is important to note that these size correspondents are not always exactly matching between brands and styles and every hat is a little bit different. We are always happy to measure the inside of a hat you see on our site to your head size to ensure a good fit before shipping your order.

At Hats Unlimited, we also have a  comprehensive return policy . If you don't get the size quite right or don't like the fit, it's easy to return your hat for a refund or exchange. Our goal is to get you in the right hat for you.

Women's Sizing

When you're choosing a size, you'll also want to consider the differences between a men's hat and a woman's hat.  Women's hats are most commonly designed with a one size fits most approach. In general, a women's hat can comfortably fit a woman with a head circumference between 21 1/2 inches and 22 1/4 inches. The variation in sizing is more commonly addressed by manufacturers today, who increasingly include an adjustable band or interior drawstring into their design.

However, there isn't an industry standard for one size fits most, which means that women's hat sizes can vary between manufacturers. What fits comfortably from one brand may be uncomfortable from another. The best way to avoid this problem is to measure your head's circumference and compare that with the measurements the manufacturer provides for each hat you're considering. 

Luckily, women can also choose any men's style, and often do, and look very fashionable with the right hat.  Since men's hats come in specific sizes, women can measure their heads and use the sizing chart to find a more precise fit.

Men's Sizing 

Men's hats often come in very specific sizes. Men's hat sizes can be measured S-XL or with numerical values ranging between 6 and 8. Men's hats may also come in a one size fits most option, and the range of measurements this can accommodate is typically higher than women's sizing. 

Once you've measured your head, consult the manufacturer's sizing chart to determine what size you'll want to order. If you're considering a hat that claims to be one size fits most, compare the hat's measurements to your own. It's also a good idea to check to see if the hat comes with features that allow you to adjust the sizing, such as an adjustable band.

While it's difficult to get an exact measurement of every hat we have on Hats Unlimited because there are so many, we try to include measurements we've taken of our most popular hats on the product page.

Tips and Tricks for Measuring Your Hat Size 

Measuring for a new hat isn't complicated, but taking an accurate measurement can be crucial to the enjoyment of your new hat. To avoid buying a hat you won't be able to wear, follow these five tips for success. 

1. Measure Twice, Buy Once

The old carpenter's adage rings equally true for measuring hats. It can be risky to use the first measurement you take, especially if this is the first time you've measured your head. If you order a hat based on an incorrect measurement, you may be stuck with a hat that isn't comfortable. Avoid this problem by making a point to measure at least twice before you order.

After the first measurement, write down the circumference in both centimeters and inches. Then measure again. If you get the same measurement a second time, you're probably on track. If the numbers come out differently than the first time, measure a third time. The goal is to get the same numbers every time so you can be confident you're buying the right hat.

2. Size up, Not Down

If you measure your head and the measurement comes out in between numbers, it's a good idea to round up to the next 1/8 inch. It might not seem like a lot of variation, but every fraction of an inch can make a big difference when it comes to a comfortable hat. 

Sizing down may result in a hat that's too tight. We recommend sizing up because you can always size your hat back down using our Hat Sizing Tape , which you can find on our website. It's important for a hat to fit securely, but there's a difference between a secure fit and a fit that leaves you uncomfortable. 

3. Don't Pull the String Tight

If you're using a piece of string or a flexible measuring tape to measure, avoid pulling it too tight once it's wrapped around your head. You don't want it so loose that it's hanging down, but pulling it too tight can also alter your measurements and lead to incorrect sizing. 

A good rule of thumb is to pull the string as tight as you'd want the hat to feel resting around your head. Remember that some hats should fit more loosely than others, so factor that into how tight you pull the string, too.

4. Expect Differences Between Manufacturers

Each hat is as unique as the manufacturer that creates it. Unfortunately, while there is an industry standard for hat sizing, manufacturing inconsistencies and supplier variations occur. This is why it's always important to measure and consult the retailer's sizing chart before you purchase a hat. 

Relying on the sizing chart for the company that made the hat is the best way to ensure a good fit every time. If you fall in between sizes, or you aren't sure how to read the retailer's chart, contact them for help. Hats Unlimited will also gladly double-check the size of a particular style for you. For help, simply reach out to us through email at [email protected] or by phone at 888-997-4287 .

5. Sizing Depends on the Style You Choose

Certain styles of hats are meant to be worn differently. Some hats should fit snugly against your head, while others should be a bit loose. Consider the fit and feel of the hat when you're looking at what size to order. In some cases, this could mean going with a size that's a little bit different than the measurements you took. If you aren't sure, it's a good idea to consult the retailer for advice on sizing.

Common Questions About Hat Sizes

As you measure your head, it's normal to have questions.  We've been in the hat business for a long time, so we're familiar with common questions people have when they're trying to size themselves for a hat. Consider some of the following:

1. What Does "One Size Fits Most" Mean?

Women's hats are often sized as a one size fits most hat. This means that there aren't individual sizes, such as S-XL or a numerical equivalent. Instead, these hats are designed to adapt to a range of head circumferences. Some designs may also come with features such as an adjustable band. 

To ensure a one size fits most hat will fit you, measure the circumference of your head, then compare it with the measurements of the hat you're considering. If the measurements aren't listed with the product information, you can ask us to measure the hat for you.

In some cases, men's hats may also be sized as a one size fits most. Similar to women's hats, this simply means the hat is designed to fit a range of head sizes and may come with features, such as an elasticized sweatband, to make it more flexible for a wider range of sizes.

2. What's the Average Hat Size for Men and Women?

The average head circumference for adults falls between 53 centimeters and 58 centimeters. On average, a man's hat size will be approximately 59 centimeters, while a woman's average hat size will be 57 centimeters. While it's helpful to know the average hat size, be wary of using this size to determine your own measurements.

Remember that an average is a number that is derived from small, medium and large measurements. It does not reflect the size of the entire population, nor does it account for the variations in fit and feel among different hats. 

The only way to ensure an accurate fit when you purchase a hat is to measure your head's circumference and compare it to the available sizes.

3. Can I Guess My Size if I Don't Have a Measuring Tape Handy? 

If you've purchased a hat from the same company before, you might be able to take a guess or rely on past measurements to determine what size to buy. However, if you're buying a hat from a different retailer or a different type of hat than what you've purchased previously, beware of making a sizing guess.

Hats are like clothing in that every brand has a slight variation in sizing, and a small miscalculation can make the difference between a perfect fit and a poor one. Even if you don't have access to a measuring tape, most people can find some string and a ruler lying around the house. 

Gather these items and use them to take accurate measurements prior to making a purchase. Or, if you're debating a purchase in the store, ask a member of the sales staff for help in sizing. 

4. What if I Can't Find My Hat Size?

Most men and women fall somewhere on the hat sizing chart. If you're getting a number that seems off, first make sure your tape measure is correct and isn't twisted. Try measuring again.

If your head is indeed significantly larger or smaller, you may wish to find a hat in the closest size and with an adjustable band or drawstring so you can make the hat fit better. You may also try different manufacturers and styles of hats. Some may fit better, even if you're an atypical size. 

Find the Right Hat for Your Face Shape

It's important to find the right fit, but don't stop there. You can also  find the right hat for your face shape . The perfect hat for you depends on whether you're rocking a round face, heart-shaped face or a long face. Have a diamond or square-shaped face? We've got hats for that too. 

In general, you will want to use these tips to get the right fit for your face shape:

• If your face is long, look for wide brims and brims that cut across the forehead.
• If your face is round, look for angled elements in your hats and hats that reveal more of your face.
• If you have a square-shaped face, floppy hats and wide, straight brims can look very flattering.
• If you have a heart-shaped face, look for hats that aren't too narrow at the crown.
• If you have a diamond face, look for hats that can sit at the back of the head.

While these are good guidelines, don't get too caught up in rules.  Ultimately, the key to finding and rocking the perfect hat is confidence. There's no greater feeling than wearing a beautiful hat that feels like it was made for you. That's exactly what you can achieve when you pick the right hat and fit.

What is a Dropship Item?

Many of our items on the website are "Dropship Items" and we understand this can be confusing to the customer. A Dropship item is something we do not keep a physical inventory of in any of our warehouses or stores; These items are handled, picked and shipped directly from the manufacturer. This does not allow us to process and ship the order based on our time standards and are, instead, up to the mercy of the Dropship company. With over 4,000 unique styles all of which feature different sizes and colors it would be close to impossible for Hats Unlimited to keep physical stock to allow for the most comprehensive catalog on the internet.  Dropship items are annotated with a "DS" in the SKU of the item to indicate to both us and the customer that the item is handled by the manufacturer. The availability of the item also indicates the typical turn around time based off the manufacturer, most manufacturers ship the item the same day it is ordered, however there are some that can take up two weeks to get the item to the customer. Please keep this in mind when placing your order and selecting your shipping options. If you need a dropship item expedited, a call will need to be placed to our customer service line at 888-997-4287 and we will do our best to accommodate your needs.

Size Chart & Size Guide

Please read the instructions below this size chart before ordering. We have indicated whether this size chart uses body or garment measurements in the notes below the size chart. Allow 1cm variance for all garment measurements (as an example a 56cm garment measurement has a variance of 55-57cm. Please factor that into deciding on the size to order.)

To select cm (cm) or inches (in") please see the top left corner of the size chart table.

How to order the correct size Rufiji™ or Mara&Meru™ hat: • To work out which hat will give you the most comfortable fit, simply measure your head at the fullest part where your hat will sit, which will be just above your ears. Please use this measurement to determine the size above. • Please note that only our leather hats will have a very small amount of stretch (approximately 1cm). • As children's heads grow faster than their bodies, this size chart also applies to boys and girls. • UK and US hat sizes given below are our approximates of the equivalent hat size in each country.

In full leather, the natural grain of this hat is right at home in African landscapes. This hat will accompany you on years of adventures. Steve's hat: Rain or shine this is the hat Steve, our founder, will be found in. He uses his for everything from keeping his head dry or out of the sun, to sweating it up on expeditions, to fanning the flames on the fire. He even uses his to pick up hot pot handles while cooking up a stew on the fire. Steve beats his Explorer leather hat up pretty much everyday and it takes all the knocks he throws at it to make sure he still gets to wear his every day. Steve call his hat "his honest, hardworking hat." The sun's rays can have a harmful effect on your skin - and the sun in Africa can be especially harsh, which is why we recommend a wide-brimmed hat as a safari essential. Keep your face and neck protected with this full-brimmed hat on game drives, walking safaris, and around the lodge - and look great at the same time. A full leather hat is a great choice for the serious outdoorsman and woman. Built to last, an adventurer and his or her hat are not soon parted and the beautiful, natural leather develops character as time goes by. Not only does leather look the part on safari and outdoors, it offers superior durability and comfort. Leather is breathable and soft, offering a comfortable fit time after time. The fit is further enhanced by the built-in adjustable drawstring on the inside of the hat, which offers premium comfort. The adjustable drawstring, together with the detachable neck cord with elephant toggle, help to secure your hat in windy conditions - great for the back of open game drive vehicles or on boat rides. A further benefit of this material is that it travels well. With metal wire built into the brim, this hat retains its shape for the purposes of packing. The adventure styling of this hat is elevated by the plaited leather hat band along the base of its full brim. Please note that it is best to either carry your hat when you travel, or to pack it flat. It should not be crushed when packing. You don't have to feel the heat of the sun for damage to be done. Make sun protection part of your daily routine - and integrate it into your travels - to take care of your skin by the pool, on the beach, and for all outdoor activities. On safari and your warm-weather and adventure holidays, this will ensure painful sunburns don't get in the way of making wonderful and exciting memories. Offering SPF50+, this hat is an investment in optimal protection. Pair your hat with our high quality sunscreens and technical fabrics with built-in SPF for an holistic approach to sun care.

This hat is awesome! Being in the USA I was nervous about how long shipping would take, but I received my hat a week after placing the order with the standard speed. I got the L/XL with a 59cm measurement and it fits (and looks) great. There is an internal drawstring to adjust the head fit for fine tuning. The wire in the rim is also nice for helping the hat keep its shape. Overall very happy as this hat looks far better than anything I could find in the states and I am excited to take it on safari in a few weeks.

I just today received my Rufiji leather safari hat and I am very happy. It fits great and looks great and I am very pleased. I live on a tropical island (Yap, Micronesia) and we get a lot of rain. Do I need to waterproof my hat and if so, what product do you recommend? Thank you. Stay safe The Safari Store : Thank you Bill for your kind words. You are able to use this product on the hat for added waterproofing: Barmah Waterproofing and Conditioning Spray

I wore this hat the entire time on my 2week safari to Tanzania. It was warm in the cold early mornings and cool during the hot afternoons. It was very comfortable! The hat didn't loose shape in my soft duffle that was checked on a 15 hour flight. I posted my pictures every day of our safari adventures. So many comments everyone loved the animals or my Hat!!

The Accessory Trends That Are Totally Outdated In 2024

W hile you're never under any obligation to follow fashion trends, there's still a decent chance that you'd like to avoid the outdated trends of the moment. Granted, one's style shouldn't be dictated by the industry, but if you're a sucker for what's hot right now, then it's hard to ignore what your wardrobe needs to stay up to date — even down to accessory choices.

As many trends that 2024 has brought with it, we're still seeing a lot of last year lingering — which can be a great thing for your wallet. "I think if prices for luxury goods continue to remain as high as they currently are, we'll see the 'quiet luxury' trend stick around for a bit longer," fashion writer Emilia Petrarca told  Glamour . "It's just too expensive to take risks on pieces that you might not like five, 10 years down the line. Timeless pieces are perhaps a better investment."

But just because quiet luxury is still here doesn't mean you can't have fun with your wardrobe. To make sure your accessories are still in style, then here are the outdated pieces you need to avoid.

Box Up Your Big Logo Bags

Bags with big logos have always appealed to people who want to show off that they can afford a certain designer. While that's all well and good, and a tactic that some people — those who need to prove something — will continue to do, it's a totally outdated trend. In fact, it's never really been an "in" trend, but as long as quiet luxury and old-money aesthetics are en vogue, bags that advertise a designer's name are out.

Break Up With Your Stilettos

Because 2024 is still riding that quiet luxury wave and placing its bets on simplicity, similar to bags with logos, super high heels are completely over in 2024 too. Instead, low heels, like court shoes, and even sneakers are what you should be turning to if you want to avoid the most outdated shoe trends this year.

Ditch The Wide-Brimmed Hats

As timeless sophistication is having a resurgence, mostly in part due to Ryan Murphy's latest installment of "Feud," entitled " Capote Vs. The Swans ," it's time for small hats to have their moment again — notably the pillbox hat. While wide-brimmed hats will always have their place, for example, on a hot summer's day at the beach or if you're on safari in the Serengeti, when it comes to sticking to the fashionable trends of 2024, it doesn't belong. So ditch those for now. 

Lose The Chain Belts

As the fashionistas of the world descended upon Fall 2024 Fashion Week earlier this year, one thing was very clear: we're in the season of the leather belt. Thin or wide, wrapped once around the waist or a few times, it simply doesn't matter because, according to Vogue the belt is the "it" accessory for 2024. In other words, chain belts are over but that doesn't mean you can't find another way to wear them — perhaps as a necklace.

Skip The Busy Patterns

If you haven't noticed a theme in these outdated trends, then let's just point it out for you: busy, bold, and loud is out; neutral, quiet, and sophisticated is in. Although there will always be a situation that calls for a busy pattern (a carnival maybe?), for the most part, if you want to be in style, you should skip them as much as possible.

Forget The Subtle Sunglasses

Once the Jackie O. trend of sunglasses ran its course, small, narrow, and oval became all the rage. But, true to form, the latter is no longer in style and must be forgotten. Instead, big sunglasses with mirrored lenses that make you feel like you, too, have the paparazzi to hide from is the way to go. Sunglasses are actually the only accessory in this list that breaks away from the quiet luxury trend but, hey, you need to make some noise somehow.
