How to Feminize a Newsboy Hat

The newsboy hat may be one of the most classic and popular hat designs ever created. These fashionable hats come in a variety of colors and materials, and are the perfect accessory. Despite their versatility and style, newsboy hats are most commonly designed for men, coming in dark and masculine colors. However, there are a number of ways you can doll-up and feminize that newsboy hat.

Instructions

1. Sew a few strips of sparkling sequins to your newsboy hat. A strip of colored sequins between the cap and brim or just along the outer brim is a cute and glitzy way to feminize your hat. Keep it simple when it come to sequins, sticking with just a strip or two of sequins that match the color of your hat.

2. Decorate the underside of the brim of your newsboy hat with feminine fabric, a subtle yet effective way to feminize your newsboy hat. You can sew on fabric or use iron-on interfacing to attach a small strip of fabric of your choice. There are infinite number of fabric choices, but you can never go wrong with lace or satin.

3. Find a small feminine patch, such as a flower or animal, and attach it to the back of your newsboy hat, of even to the brim. You might buy a handful of patches and attach them to your hat using double stick tape. In this way, you can mix and match your feminine touch to your outfits.

4. Feminize your newsboy cap with a jewel or two. Artificial gems come in an array of shapes and colors and can be easily glued onto fabric. A jewel or two added to the corner of the brim of your newsboy hat is a fast, subtle and sure way to doll-up that hat.

5. Wear your hat with the right outfit, and you won't need a single thing to feminize that hat. While a newsboy hat may be just a touch boyish, you don't have to be. A newsboy hat accessorizing a feminine skirt, top and heels will never be called masculine.
