Look of the Day: Mad Hatter

It's refreshing to see a younger woman in a fancy hat in 2010. Im in admiration of anyone who can pull off the look. Hats like the one pictured above were frequently worn by women on a daily basis before the 1920's. Etiquette articles once stated leaving your home without a hat is disgraceful. Princess Diana popularized the wearing of hats for special occasions in the 1980's. However after gaining confidence the princess no longer hid behind hats and the fad slowly lost favour.
Extravagant and detailed hats are no longer popular amongst women. For most women wearing a hat as a statement piece is ancient history. Normally young women wear hats for three reasons. The first is to cover their heads during the winter months for warmth. The second, is to block the sun's rays during the summer. Last but not least, bad hair days.
