That Hat.

Yes, a hat to some may seem to be such a trivial part of an outfit, I am sure they would question 'why even wear it if you are going to take it off?', but to others [me] a hat means the world to any outfit. This is not to say wear a hat at any moment with any outfit, no, that would be wrong, that would be like washing paint over the Mona Lisa, ruining a perfect piece of art. In the past, a hat could be worn to show a particular social status, but now-a-days it is worn mostly as a fashion accessory. One of my personal favourites in the hat department is the Fedora Hat, yet following close behind has to be the Beret. The Fedora hat, to give everyone the background, is a men's soft felt hat with a brim and lengthwise crease in the crown, it has been adopted by women. The name Fedora was after the heroine of Victorian Sardou's drama presented in Paris in 1882. And who can forget the Carmen Floppy Hat featuring a wide brim. All these hats have been fashion icons, some new some old and lets not leave out those that are being made everyday. After all, where would the hat industry be without Milliners? And besides, whats more to love then an outfit  made from any person's style complete with the perfect hat?
