Join the Hat Revival

If there’s one item I’d like to see come back into fashion, it’s the hat. Remember the old black and white films, when no-one was properly dressed without a hat? I love hats, and wear them all year round. When it’s chilly in winter, I wear them to keep warm, and in the warmer weather I need to protect my head from the sun. They also look good and add a stylish touch to any outfit. Think you don’t suit hats? Think again. Take a browse around the ladies wear shops and try on lots of different styles. You’ll be sure to find something that suits you – maybe a type of hat that you never thought was ‘you’.

Now that summer is here, I’m on the lookout for a trendy yet practical hat to keep cool and help keep the sun off my face. In fact I’d recommend that everyone wears a hat when out in the sun. There is such a vast range of styles available, and you’re sure to find something to suit. So when you pack your case for your holidays, don’t forget to include a hat. A wide-brimmed straw or cotton style will be perfect for the heat, and there are many hats that are designed to fold up, so that they won’t get squashed in your case or bag.

When winter comes round, I love getting out my collection of headwear. There is even more choice than in the summer. I have wool caps, berets in different colours, a floppy 70s vintage hat, a fedora, and fake fur. I’m always on the lookout for more styles and particularly love rooting round vintage stores, where you can be sure of finding something different (who wants to look like everyone else!). So why not join me in the hat revival?
