Are you looking for a Womens Western Hat for any occasion?
Avenel’s women’s range blends classic shapes with practical materials, giving you hats that work for the yard, the races, or a weekend away. The focus stays the same as the rest of the Avenel line - comfort, durability, and timeless style made for Australian weather.
At Allingtons, you’ll find a wide range of women’s Avenel hats across the summer and winter seasons. The summer collection includes wide brimmed hats crafted in breathable paper braid, raffia, and lightweight cotton - all designed to keep the sun off without feeling heavy or stuffy. Fedoras with wide brims are favourites for summer, as are safari hats, all offering strong sun protection and a casual elegance that fits both work and leisure. These hats are made to be practical - they travel well, breathe well, and look good without fuss.
In winter, you’ll see wool felt fedoras, cloches, and knit beanies built for warmth and structure. Popular choices include the Avenel Billabong Western Hat and The Overflow Western Hat, both of which have a soft felt finish and come in a range of colours.
Avenel’s women’s hats are designed with Australian conditions in mind. You’ll also see thoughtful details like braided hatbands, leather trim, or subtle colour accents. The overall design keeps things simple but polished, so the hat works just as well in jeans and boots as it does with a sundress.
Avenel Womens Hats - Made to last
Avenel uses the same top-tier materials across the women’s line as the rest of the brand - adjusted for comfort, weight, and wearability.
Paper Braid and Raffia
These lightweight weaves are perfect for summer. They’re airy, flexible, and block the sun without trapping heat.
Wool and Rabbit Fur Felt
Used in fedoras, cloches, and dress hats. It holds its shape beautifully and adds warmth and structure for winter wear.
Cotton and Canvas
Common in safari or outdoor hats. They’re soft, breathable, and tough enough for everyday use.
Knitted Wool Blends
Found in beanies and cold-weather styles. Warm, durable, and comfortable for all-day wear.
Leather and Fabric Trims
A western hat band is an essential decorative accent that adds a classic touch to every genuine western hat.
Every material choice reflects Avenel’s focus on practicality. Felt keeps you warm and styled in cooler weather. Raffia and paper braid suit the sun and travel. Cotton and canvas bridge the gap for transitional seasons.
Avenel Hat styling tips for Women
Choose the right brim width.
Wider brims offer more sun protection and pair well with summer outfits. Medium brims give balance and structure, working well for everyday wear.
Match the hat to your outfit.
A raffia or paper braid hat pairs beautifully with linen, denim, or cotton. Wool felt fedoras work with winter coats and boots.
Stick to neutral colours.
Natural tones like bran, tan, charcoal, and silverbelly are easy to match and timeless.
Use crushable options for travel.
Avenel’s packable felt and braided hats are perfect for packing without damage.
Add small accents.
A scarf or pin on a plain hat band personalises your look without overdoing it.
Rotate seasonally.
Keep one breathable summer hat and one structured winter hat to cover most outfits and climates.
FAQs About Womens Avenel Hats
Are Avenel women’s hats crushable?
Many are. Some felt and braid styles in particular are built to pack and reshape easily - great for travel or day trips. Crushable and packable hats will have this feature listed in their product description under 'key features'.
How do I clean an Avenel hat?
Felt: Use a soft brush or gentle steam to lift dirt.
Straw or paper braid: Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
Cotton or canvas: Spot clean with mild detergent.
Knit hats: Hand wash in cold water.
Do women’s hats come in different sizes?
Yes. Most styles are available in either standard small, medium, and large or CM measurement sizes. Adjustable bands or inner drawstrings are common in the summer range for a flexible fit - these are labelled as 'One Size - Adjustable' in their product description.
Are the summer hats UV-rated?
While not all Avenel hats are labelled with UPF rating, most provide solid shade and natural sun protection through wide brims and dense weaves. Those hats that are UPF rated will feature UPF50+ (or SPF50+) in their product description under 'key features'.
Which hat suits both city and country wear?
A wool felt fedora or crushable braid hat works across both settings - smart enough for city outfits, sturdy enough for outdoor use.
