The Floppy Hat, the quintessential feminine hat with a very wide brim as it appears in the series, is part of an assertive and spectacular elegance. It frames the face, imposes the silhouette, and conveys an assumed, almost theatrical presence, where style becomes a statement. While this Floppy Hat expresses itself here in a spectacular register, worn daily it becomes softer: it envelops the silhouette, protects from the sun or cold, and provides that rare sensation of being both present and protected. A piece that establishes an elegance both calm and reassuring.
Recognizable by its slightly lowered brim at the front and raised at the back , the Trilby Hat brings a structured and assured look.
The choice of color and pattern, here well-marked, gives it character and modernizes the silhouette.

More than a summer hat, it conveys a taste for fine materials and craftsmanship , a way of wearing elegance effortlessly, with naturalness.
Behind every headwear: hat, French Beret, or cap for women as well as for men , the material tells a story . It is seen, touched, felt. But above all, it reveals a particular attention to quality and fine materials.
Merino wool seduces with its finesse and comfort, felted wool with its hold and ability to structure the look. Panama straw brings lightness and breathability to the beautiful days, while linen , naturally fresh and lively, evokes a more relaxed summer elegance, attentive to movement and climate. Cotton , more flexible, accompanies everyday use with simplicity.
Choosing the right material means respecting the rhythm of the seasons, but also embedding one's style in the long term. A well-chosen material ages with elegance : it patinates, softens, gains character.
A quality headwear is not consumed according to trends . It is worn, lived, tamed. And sometimes, it is passed on, laden with memories, gestures, and a story that continues.
Choose one strong piece at a time
An expressive headwear often stands alone. It works even better when the rest of the outfit remains more sober.
Favor accuracy over effect
The right shape is the one that naturally accompanies the face and silhouette, without constraining them.
Pay attention to color
A bright hue draws the eye, a soft shade calms the look. The essential is that it dialogues with the complexion, the wardrobe, and the energy of the moment.
Adopt the right gesture
A headwear is worn with a simple, almost instinctive movement. The right position, neither too adjusted nor too worked, makes all the difference.
Stay true to your lifestyle
The ideal hat is the one you wear often, with ease, not the one you admire without daring to adopt.
Multiplying effects
Too many colors, patterns, or volumes can blur the message and tire the silhouette.
Trying to replicate an outfit identically
What works on screen responds to staging; style, however, is built through appropriation.
Forcing the wear
A hat too tight, too tilted, or constantly repositioned betrays hesitation.
Choosing solely for the trend
A headwear must first speak to the one who wears it, before following fashion.
In Emily in Paris , headwear is never trivial. It asserts a presence, defines a silhouette, conveys a desire to dare, sometimes with excess, often with freshness. It embodies a vision of Parisian style that is free and expressive.
This freedom of style finds a natural echo in the vision of collections offered by Bon Clic Bon Genre , and more particularly through the selection Maison Berblanc .
The house celebrates the French Beret , emblem of French elegance, by reinventing it with accuracy and modernity.
It offers collections that are both wise and daring, refined and sophisticated , sometimes more bold , always crafted from noble materials, respecting tradition and heritage.
Where Emily in Paris plays with codes to reveal itself, Maison Berblanc revisits them to last.
Two perspectives, one conviction: the most accurate style is the one that asserts itself with intention.
And perhaps true chic, ultimately, lies there? In this ability to wear a headwear not to follow a trend, but to tell one's own style!
