Who reaaaaaaally want to know the history of hats? And how they were first created because the church said that a woman's hair must be covered? Covered schmovered! Lets talk about how a hat (in fashion) was a man's accessory and a woman's necessity. Let's talk about the remedy to a bad hair day. Let's talk hats. More than that...lets talk about how hats are now hitting the runway annnnnnnnd on its own... that's right...without garments.
If you have read any of my blogs you would know that I am a fabric and textile retard. I love texture and the uniqueness that it brings into fashion and accessories. Hats started with the finest straw. If there is such a thing. I mean 'fine buckwheat' does not have a ring to it. LOL. Hats later graduated to silks with lace trims and such. Today...a hat is made from just about everything...from rubber to tin to toilet paper.
Ok Ok...I'm sorry. It was too funny not to add it. LOL. Anyway, the hat was never considered an accessory, but I am so impressed with the way that it had paved its way to landing the starring role instead of being a supporting actor. Hats are HAUTE!!!!. Much like sunglasses, they provide a little mystery, but they can also add sex appeal to a boring outfit.
As much and I love you Kim K. your outfit in this pic is boo boo...but you were rockin that hat girl! You have to know how to wear a hat. What to do, what not to do. What to wear it with and what NOT to wear it with. *smh* Damn Kim! Alllllrighty then, back to hats...fedoras are definintely the most popular of the hat family, but the many cousins of hats are not far behind.
I admire hat wearers. Heck I admire hats. I often wish my hat collection could mimic my bag collection, unfortunately...its not so. Hats say,"You're cool man." Its a statement without speech. The hat is the model, your head is the runway. So, in the words of RuPaul.."You betta work!" (just in case you want to hear the song.... Supermodel ) LOL
