In this pattern for the Crochet Messy Bun Hat with Shell Stitches, the trendy hat style has an elegant and beautiful look. From the blogger:

"This beautiful crochet messy bun hat is so fun and easy to stitch. I was looking for a messy bun hat that I could wear in warmer weather and this one fit the bill. Its open stitches create a light and feminine hat. This hat makes me think of vintage hats. The hat fits most women. The written pattern also contains a video tutorial link for visual learners. I also used a pony-tail rubber band in the center to strengthen the center of the hat. I hope you enjoy this pattern."
