These days, an actual requirement to don a hat is extremely
rare. Which is a shame, because I think they really do add to an
outfit.
Last year, I was contacted about my thoughts on hat
etiquette. And today I received a link to the finished product. If
you would like to take a look, click on over to Fedoras.com.
I think they did a wonderful job putting this together.
The lovely Jessica of Chronically Vintage also gives her
ideas on the wearing of hats - I just love seeing a familiar face, as it were!
I certainly do not profess to be an expert on the subject of
hat etiquette, but I do enjoy wearing them every now and then.
Generally, if they are a part of the ensemble and pinned
into a hairstyle, they remain on the head both indoors and out.
And I do believe that if you are comfortable with
wearing a hat, go ahead and wear the darn thing. If you truly own
the look, I don’t think anyone will second guess the adornment, whether inside
or out!
When is the last time you wore a hat?

I think that’s great. I love seeing women wearing hats. I think it adds an element of grace and sophistication.
DeleteYour star is rising!
ReplyDeleteThe "celebrity of self" is the launch phase.
The "Hatiquette" infographic is great!
ReplyDeleteThere is one memorable time I wore a hat while shopping- it was just an ordinary large sunhat that I liked to wear because I hadn't gotten contacts yet and liked to not squint all the time. I was wearing said hat and a colourful but ordinary rtw skirt but a strange phenomenon happened- a couple people actually moved to let me by or gave me a seat on the bus. This never happens here. That, and every time I tried to buy something at a department store and was holding the hat, the cashier thought I was trying to purchase it which was a) irritating after the first time and b) a statement that people tend to only wear hats at the beach, while gardening, or doing hiking type activities.
How awesome! I wear hats loads because they are so fun! I do wear them to church often and it can be kind of akwaward when someone prays but taking one's hat off as a sign of reverence has always been a man thing in my brain and I'm glad to see that the hat experts agree!
ReplyDeleteNothing like a hat to make oneself memorable! And ditto times ten for a distinctive hat! I wear hats all the time and have a small collection.
ReplyDeleteI have a hard time with hats- scarves feel more reliable. But they look lovely. I guess eventually, I'll get the knack.
ReplyDeleteI love wearing hats,but often wear the same one, a black wool cloche with a lace skull,that people tend to remember me by.
ReplyDeleteWell, please don't judge, but I have a seal and otter fur hat I wear when I'm in AK (necessary for warmth, trust me on this one). I have a crochet straw sort of thing I wear at the shore, brightly orange. I have a black straw with a medium brim I wear for weddings and other fun things.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to a wedding in London this summer. I'm trying to figure out a fascinator for that as soon as I figure out the rest of my regalia.
Alaskapsych, hope you're not going along with the historian who insists that a fascinator still is a wooly shawl :) (Yes, the term once referred to that - but it hasn't for quite a long time. People also no longer say "thee" and "thou" to each other as a sign of familiarity.)
