The cloche hat, a popular accessory from the 1920s, is making a comeback thanks to icons like Jennifer Lawrence. The actress was spotted in New York City wearing a cloche hat, styled with a leopard-print coat, a bright sweater, silk pants, and flats. Her combination showed how the vintage-inspired winter accessory has been transformed into a modern statement of sophistication.

For those unfamiliar with the term, “cloche” is derived from the French word for “bell” and describes the bell-shaped design of the hat that hugs the head with a narrow brim that extends down to almost shield the eyes.

The “cloche,” often made of wool, symbolized the liberated, forward-thinking woman, embodying elegance and modernity. It’s an illustration that still rings true.

Today, the cloche hat has become a staple in street style looks across major fashion capitals. Beyond Lawrence's New York City look, women in Paris have also embraced its comeback, wearing it with wool coats and trousers and layered with long jackets and sweatpants.

They have shown that this practical yet fashionable accessory offers warmth and a touch of sophistication and is a great way to take a winter outfit to the next level.
