From Head to Feet. Hats

From Head to Feet. Hats.

For sports wear, style change is not so swift, but the “town” hat shows those subtle variations which mark the new season. Even the sailor, smart still with straight or upcurved brim, may be startlingly new with a high crown. Another “high” hat is the inverted flower-pot. The pancake hat, with small or medium brim looks distressingly unsuitable for our spring weather changes. More useful are the turbans, berets and toques. One very smart turban was of bands of grosgrain ribbon in deepening tones. Toques of shiny straw, with flat plaques of many-tinted flowers, and wisps of veiling, or flutings of ribbon, possess appeal even for the woman who always feels happier in a felt.

For those who can wear it, the new brim, pulled sharply off the face, is flattering.

An interesting “new” style is flattopped and brimless, rather like a mortar-board with the points cut off. The brow line is attractively curved and the sides are shaped to show off the coiffure.
