A hat to please
A white hat, a flower hat, a wide feather-light straw so sheer that the sun shines through…
This spring, hats have a lovely quality of becomingness.
Cloche, cap, hood, peaked hat, wide sailor, scoop brim
Hat with side width, some go forward, some show the hairline, some tilt sideways… you are the one to please.
