Clare V ‘Ciao’ Trucker Hat ($49)
This is IG’s favorite trucker hat. You’ve seen it on Shea McGee, online personal trainers, and probably a handful of your favorite bloggers when donning a cute athleisure look or actually working out. Hats, particularly trucker and baseball style, are my go-to multiple times a week. I am a hat person. All my favorite outfits involve a hat 98% of the time and most of my childhood photos also show me sporting a hat with either Minnie Mouse or Winnie the Pooh on it.
The block lettering drew me into Clare V’s styles and their ‘Ciao’ hat was always sold out which in turn made me want it even more. When it finally came in stock I jumped!
The hat is very lightweight, more lightweight than other trucker styles I own, and the front of the hat is a soft, semi-flexible, almost squishy material. At first I wasn’t a big fan of that, since other trucker hats I own are a hard material covered with cotton. For the first few months I owned the hat I rarely wore it, but for some reason in the last 2 months I’ve been wearing it nonstop. I love that it goes with almost any outfit and it looks cute and little quirky. (You will hear a “Ciao” from strangers when you wear it lol)
I have a standard sized head, but I would recommend those with a smaller head to skip out on Clare V’s hats. Even with adjustments to the size via the snap closure in the back, the front portion is made wider than your standard hat.
I don’t think this hat is worth $49, but I also don’t think this will be my last Clare V trucker. The green ‘Oui’ style has caught my eye 👀
