When I think about Kangol Hats, I think of hip-hop legends like LL Cool J and the men of Run DMC. Remember when they use to wear those fuzzy hats while paring them with those Adidas track suits? Old school hip hop artists like these put Kangol hats on the map during the 80's and early 90's. However, as years went by, the famous kangaroo bearing head wear label slowly faded away from the fashion scene. But now in the 2000's, the brand has fully revive their hat line, incorporating modern and smart designs for the masses. Using sophisticated fabrics like tweed and wool, alongside implementing clean and classic designs, have made this brand extraordinary once again. Don't believe me? Well here are just a few examples of Kangol hats that are worth checking out.
Other than the fury bucket hat, another well known design that Kangol is famous for is the newsboy cap. One of their newest designs, the Wool Earlap hat for $50, is the perfect example of the classic newsboy cap with a twist. It has the classic shape of a newsboy hat, but what it makes it special is the soft overlap material that rests over the ears - creating comfort and warmth to your ears; perfect for those long cold winters. What's great about this particular hat is that it is such a classic design. You can literally wear it for years to come and it will never go out of style.

Another great hat that Kangol has up their sleeves is the Tweed Bulgatti Cap. This hat has a really cool Sherlock Holmes feel to it, with ear flaps attached to the top of the hat. But what really adds to the whole Sherlock Holmes motif is the classic plaid pattern tweed material. With its classic design and beautiful fabrics, this Bulgatti cap has a certain sophistication to it that I'm sure any girl and guy would appreciate.
A great trend out there, for both men and women, are those hot trilby caps. The trilby hat - along with its similar looking cousin, the fedora - are seen on ever body from as celebrities like Justin Timberlake, and many others. Personally, I have to jump on the bandwagon on this trend. I love the simplistic yet cool and laid back style of this particular hat style. Which is probably why I'm totally in love with Kangol's Wool Player hat for $50. This particular hat is beautifully constructed with quality wool fibers and detailed stitching. Girls and men alike would look hot strutting these sick hats.
For an everyday hat that's easy to slap on when you have those dreaded bad hair days, the Kangol Wool Colette Hat can do just the trick. This relatively inexpensive cap (retailing only at $20) is an awesome solution for those that strive the comfort of a baseball cap without the sporty look of it. The Colette Hat has a simple short half brim and is made of a durable wool material. Design wise, this hat comes across as a baseball cap and those cool sailor captain hats. With a great and no-fuss design, any girl would look simply fab with wearing the Colette.
Kangol hats may have had its hay day back in the 80's, but today it has proven that their designs are not stuck in the past. And we've only scratched the surface, there are many more fabulous hats where that came from. From trilby hats to bucket caps, Kangol still remains to be the king of fashionable hear wear.
