Someone in the article mentions that this hat is appealing because of nostalgia -- a lot of children wore boaters as part of a school uniform, or children in books did. I wore a uniform in high school, and although it didn't include a hat, I have always been partial to uniforms. Someone else who was interviewed (you'll have to forgive me, I don't have it at hand to look up the names) states that hats are appealing because, to paraphrase, most people dress like slobs these days, and hats have a nice formal quality to them. I agree! More hats, please. And while we're at it, more neckties too!
Here are a couple of film trailers for more hat inspiration: Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975) and The Lover (1992).
ah, yes i completely agree
ReplyDeletei love hats

I wore a uniform too and am certain that's why I love berets and mary-janes and pinafores to this day!
