Vintage Advice: Hats


"Besides making you pretty, hats should be functional.  In winter they should keep your ears warm.  In summer they should shade your eyes.



Whatever the style, they should fit securely and flatter your face from every angle.


Many woman virtually ignore hats in their wardrobes, a tendency to be mourned.  Historically and romantically, hats have been a symbol of a woman, yet today men wear more hats than women - which is a deplorable situation. 
Don't shun hats." 


 From the book:  Wife-Dressing by Anne Fogarty 1959
