trilby definition and meaning

What is a "trilby"?

A trilby is a soft felt hat that features a narrow brim that is turned up at the back and down at the front. It typically has a teardrop-shaped crown and a narrow ribbon band. The trilby was first introduced in the 1890s as a more casual alternative to the formal fedora, and it quickly became popular among men of all ages. The hat's popularity declined in the mid-20th century but saw a resurgence in the 2000s, thanks in part to its association with fashionable celebrities like Justin Timberlake and David Beckham. Today, the trilby remains a stylish and versatile accessory that can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion.
