Hats are back

  1. This photo must have been taken in England or during The Jazz Age. His hat looks like a conservative English bowler and hers is stunning, I know not who designed it. Hats are in at The Kentucky Derby or Saratoga during racing season, but they are generally not worn at weddings in the same way that they are a mandatory accessory in the U.K. I for one have a Herbert Johnson hat from Bond Street that I bought for an English wedding. I also am embarrased to admit that I have a Kamitsky-Hillary Clinton wore those. Men have less options. Off the top of my head, I am thinking of berets (for the French or artists) those lovely straw ones with the navy blue and red grosgrain band, WOOL baseball caps (to be taken off indoors) and fedoras. A woman of the Marlene Deitrich ilk can also pull off a fedora - I have two from the old Abercrombie. (not that I am in her league or as butch!) Hats top off an outfit, so hats off to hats!
