Tarte Corduroy Hat: Styling and Care Tips

Quick answer

To keep your tarte™ corduroy hat looking its best, spot-clean it gently and store it in a cool, dry place. Style it with casual outfits for an effortless, laid-back look.

Step-by-step care and styling routine

1. Spot-clean stains promptly: Use a soft, damp cloth with a tiny drop of mild detergent to gently dab the stained area. Avoid rubbing, which can crush the corduroy ridges and spread the stain. Always test on an inconspicuous spot first to ensure the color doesn’t run.
2. Air-dry flat, never machine-dry: After cleaning, reshape the hat and let it air-dry flat on a towel. Heat from a dryer can shrink or distort the fabric and ruin the one-size-fits-most fit. Never wring or twist the hat—gently press out excess water instead.
3. Store it properly to maintain shape: Keep the hat on a shelf or in a drawer, ideally with the crown filled with tissue paper to help it hold its shape. Avoid hanging it, as the weight can stretch the fabric over time. Store away from direct sunlight to prevent the pink color from fading.
4. Style with casual, soft fabrics: Pair the hat with denim, cotton tees, or knit sweaters for a relaxed look. Avoid sharp accessories or rough textures that could snag the corduroy. Choose outfits with similar casual vibes to keep the overall look cohesive.
5. Refresh between wears: If the hat isn’t dirty but looks a bit flat, use a soft-bristled brush to gently lift the corduroy nap. This restores the textured look without washing. Brush in one direction along the ridges for a uniform finish.
