Kendall: The British Royal’s Favorite Accessory Gets a High-Fashion Upgrade!
When you have a style as enviable as Kendall Jenner’s, there are few fashion icons you look up to. However, on Monday afternoon, the supermodel and founder of 818 Tequila reminded us that even she draws inspiration from royalty—specifically, Princess Kate’s go-to accessory: The classic baker boy hat.
A Royal-Approved Fashion Statement
Spotted on the streets of New York City, Kendall put together a stylishly cozy ensemble. She paired a brown suede jacket with tailored black trousers, leather loafers, and a wool baker boy cap, finishing off the look with chic black sunglasses.
This vintage-inspired silhouette—once a staple among working-class men in the late 1800s and early 1900s—has been a longtime favorite of Princess Kate. The 43-year-old royal has been seen wearing variations of this hat for years, particularly during her countryside outings.
Most recently, she donned a wool version of the cap in a heartfelt Instagram post. Prior to that, she was frequently photographed sporting the style throughout the late 2000s, proving its lasting appeal.
The Baker Boy Hat’s Fashion Evolution
According to British hat and accessories brand Hicks & Brown, the origins of this headwear trace back to the Elizabethan era. In 1571, a law was even passed requiring working-class men to wear a wool hat on Sundays and holidays—or face a fine of three farthings.
Over the centuries, the style evolved. Fashion icons like Brigitte Bardot and Jane Birkin made it a must-have accessory in the 1960s, and by the 2000s, it had cemented itself as an It-Girl staple. The trend resurfaced in the 2010s when luxury brands such as John Galliano, Prada, and Miu Miu featured baker boy hats in their autumn/winter 2017 collections.
Kendall Jenner Sets The Trend
Though there’s no look Kendall Jenner can’t pull off, the Peaky Blinders-inspired cap has yet to become a major trend among today’s fashion elite—until now. If Kendall is championing it on the world stage, there’s no doubt it will soon be one of the season’s most in-demand accessories.
So, if you’re looking to stay ahead of the trend, now might be the perfect time to add a baker boy hat to your wardrobe.
