Why Wouldn't You Wear A Hat? 1/4 – A Hatted Holiday

I have a question for you... Do you ever wear hats? By this I mean, do you wear glamorous hats? Hats such as the 60s pillbox? The 20s cloche hat? Hats with feathers? Or hats that are soft and fluffy? Maybe a boater? A rimmed hat? ...Regardless, what I'm trying to say is, why wouldn't you wear a hat? Wouldn't it be fun to see people running around in the streets dressed in silly, pretty, whimsical hats with feathers that fave in the wind! I of all people would love that... Ah what a wonderful world would it be!

Sadly hat isn't the it item of the day. Therefore, we rarely see any feathers or other mad hatters roaming about in the streets. But for the sake of the joy of dressing up, why wouldn't we bring hats back, if only in this little corner of the internet?

And yet maybe, the matter of hats is that they feel a bit old fashioned, unfamiliar and too fine in a sense that you never dare to put them on. Like there's never a fancy enough time for a hat. Therefore, wearing a hat is a bit like drinking water from a beautiful, crystal champagne class during the week wihtout having a reason for it, other than feeling a little rebelious in a very, very, very odd and unrebelious way. Which reminds me of having juice from a wine glass as a child purely because it felt more exiting, but most of all, unutterable more fabulous. In fact, in my childhood I can recall multiple occasions of drinking the "wrong" substance from the "wrong" but very much more thrilling glass or cup... Anyway, even if hats have become distant from the everyday and not-so-everyday style it doesn't mean the time of the hat is ending.

So let's hold on to our hats and take a hatted holiday!
