Catherine, Princess of Wales, has once again embraced the Y2K style revival during a recent trip to the English countryside. The princess was seen sporting a puffy dark green baker boy hat as she joined a group of Scouts for an outing in the Lake District last month.
The baker boy hat, a signature of '90s and early '00s fashion, was a popular choice among celebrities like Jennifer Lopez, Britney Spears, and Anne Hathaway.
This isn't the first time Princess Catherine has worn this iconic style. Back in 2013, she also donned a similar hat during a visit to the Scouts for a volunteer training day. Known for her stylish yet practical approach to fashion, the princess paired the hat with a cozy camel-knit sweater, a green bomber jacket, and skinny jeans during her recent outing.
The baker boy hat, which has its origins in the 16th century when working-class men in England were required by law to wear woolen hats, has remained a staple in fashion. Despite its controversial reputation, the style continues to be embraced by many, including model Kendall Jenner and actress Anne Hathaway.
In the accompanying video, the princess shared her deep connection to nature, describing her time in the Lake District as a "spiritual and emotional reconnection" that helps her find peace in a busy world. She is seen walking alongside Scouts aged 10 to 15 near the shores of Lake Windermere in northwest England.
As joint president of the UK’s Scouts association since 2020, Princess Catherine continues to support the organization, highlighting her dedication to youth engagement and outdoor activities.
