Fashionistas around the world appreciate the eight-piece for its versatility. Infrequently there are accessories that are equally suitable for men, women and children, which can be worn at any time of the year. A wide selection of colors and textures will satisfy the most demanding choice. That is why you can often find this headdress on eminent dudes.

The eight-blade got its modern name due to the peculiarities of the eight-panel cut. It wasn't always like that. It has been given many names in the past. After all, it is not only a sample of British elegance, but also an accessory with more than a century of history. There are suggestions that for the first time the eight-blade appeared at the beginning of the last century on the streets of different countries. In three countries at once, the future image of everyone's favorite cap was formed:

Eight-panel caps have been around for a very long time. In the last century, they were commonly seen on paperboys and street boys. It could never have occurred to anyone that over time the simplest cap would evolve into a fashionable wardrobe item.

The modern headdress also has British roots.At the beginning of the last century, it was chosen by both representatives of the working class and the intellectuals of England. The eight-blade could be found on a driver, a bully, as well as students of prestigious Universities and aristocrats. No wonder in Britain it was called "Gatsby". The detective hero Sherlock Holmes also appeared before readers in an eight-panel cap.

In the turbulent post-revolutionary times in Russia, they already knew about the existence of this cap. In our country, she had not the most pleasant associations associated with the fact that representatives of the proletariat and bandits fell in love with this style. That is why the name "hooligan" was coined for her.

At the end of the twentieth century, all prejudices associated with the history of the kepi dissipated. Fashionistas and women of fashion actively began to exploit it in their everyday looks.

Hooligan and now only strengthens its position from season to season, and its popularity is growing. It can be seen on street fashionistas in all corners of the world at different times of the year. The universally recognized style icons among the world's celebrities, happily flaunt a hooligan cap off the red carpet. What is the secret of such universal love and recognition?

The answer lies in the history of the dress itself. Out of the streets, a fashion accessory has forever remained in the hearts of representatives of different groups. Both simple hard workers and stylish dandies find use for it in their everyday outfits.

The hooligan came to the women's wardrobe in the middle of the twentieth century, during the surge of feminism. Women appreciate it for its simplicity and versatility.

Having caught the fashion trends, the designers hastened to offer the public variations of children's fashion caps with a hooligan cut.

There are a number of advantages of a hooligan cap over the rest:

• Versatility It is worn by women, men and even children. There are models for warm summer weather and for winter frosts.

• Appearance. Such a cap is able to add enthusiasm and English style to a strict suit, to bring elegance to relaxed bows, to add seriousness to children's looks.

In order for the image to turn out to be relevant, it is important to choose the right components. Accessories play an important role. Therefore, the cap must be chosen so that it is combined with the overall style of the set and is made in the same color scheme as it. The cap should perfectly fit the wearer in shape and color. Only if you follow these rules will you be able to get the decoration of your fashionable wardrobe.

First of all, it is important that the headdress is correctly selected for the season. From a wide range of eight-blade, you can easily choose the right one for any weather conditions. There are three types of caps:

Winter hooligans are more voluminous, they are thicker than summer and demi-season ones. Mostly made of thick dense fabrics. Warm models have an additional woolen or fur lining. The colors of winter models are calmer, although the palette is varied. Colors and fabrics are chosen according to the season.

Demi-season caps are perfect for autumn or spring. Such models are designed for fairly warm, but windy weather. Therefore, dense, non-blown fabrics are often used for their production.The lining of such models is thin or completely absent, this is done so that in warm weather they are comfortable.

The summer range of caps is made of lightweight breathable fabrics. Hats that are designed to protect us from the sun are usually light in color and light in texture.

The styles of women's, men's and children's caps differ from each other. For men and women, designers offer different models of caps. In addition, when choosing the perfect accessory, it is important not to ignore the recommendations of fashion experts regarding the current styles for the season.

There are some of the most popular styles.

The model, which is most reminiscent of the very first caps sewn from eight panels, is a classic that never goes out of style. In such caps, the upper part is almost completely pulled over the visor. Outwardly, they are similar to the flat caps that drivers loved so much at the beginning of the last century.

Vintage models most of all resemble the favorite caps of the Russian proletariat. These caps have a wider peak, and the upper part looks more voluminous, because it practically does not move forward. The hooligan cap style is a prime example of a vintage model.

Ears at caps serve for protection against wind and a rain. Ears can either be hidden, or they will always be in sight. This is determined by the design features. Usually caps with ears are made for winter or autumn weather, they are useless in summer. The presence of such an element is more typical for men's and children's models, in which practicality is valued more than beauty.

The most favorite style of women. Reminds me of the high caps of yesteryear. Gavroche is distinguished from other models by a high voluminous upper part, not pulled over the visor.Gavroche - the favorite caps of English boys of the last century and modern fashionistas.

Children's models are distinguished by the predominance of convenience and practicality over external beauty. Winter children's caps will definitely have large ears for protection from the elements. Children's caps must completely cover the head and part of the neck. The visor of such styles is small, because it should not block the view. Often, visors are made of soft and plastic materials in order to protect the child from injury in the event of a fall.

The colors of fashionable caps are limited only by the choice of fabric. For more traditional dense fabrics, designers offer soothing natural shades. Light summer models can be made in different colors, although most often the colors are closer to natural ones. At the height of fashion, the following colors:

• White. Both clothing and accessories in pure white look very noble. This color is suitable for summer eight-pieces, it refreshes the complexion and complements any look well.
