How to Wear a 1920’s Cloche with Long Hair

Apologizes for the long absence! If you follow my Instagram you may already know this, but I injured my hand a while back and it’s taking ages to heal. It’s finally starting to mend enough that I was able to use my computer mouse to edit a quick video. I missed making videos so much!

Today’s tutorial is a brief overview about a few different ways to wear 1920’s style cloches when you have long hair. A lot of long hairstyles from that decade (especially from the earlier half of the 1920s) don’t mix well with cloches, so I thought it might be helpful to share a couple that do. Cloches were by no means the only hat women wore in that decade, despite the flapper stereotype, and were much more prominent in the latter half of the 1920s. Special cloches for girls with long hair were available, but so were other hat styles that may have better accommodated longer hair. There are also other styles one can wear with a cloche so let me know if you want a part 2! Maybe next time my hair won’t be so incredibly frizzy ;)

Both my hats in this video are modern wool-felt hats with a 1920’s style, rather than true antiques. It’s a more practical (and much less fragile) option for everyday wear. Actually, I don’t have a single 1920’s hat in my collection yet. I have a Victorian hat, a possibly late-Edwardian hat, and many hats from the 1930’s through the 1960’s, but no 1920’s ones… I may need to remedy that if I ever come across one in an antique store.
