You cannot hide in a hat; you will be
noticed, especially by men. To men, you become a lady when you don a
hat, one who they rush to open doors for. To women, you become an
inspiration, reminding them that they have a closet full of hats they have
not had the courage to wear.
That's a very powerfull quote I think... maybe a little too much. But in the end these words may hide a little truth: today if you wear a hat you need to ask yourself several times:
are you sure about that?
And most of the time the answer is:
well... maybe next time - no hat for today, that's not the right occasion.
So, is there A RIGHT occasion?
Maybe hats are no longer a regular part of our outfits as they were in the past, so we see them as something really extravagant and a little osé, that only some people in particular occasions can wear without looking awkward.
In the end it's just a hat, and moreover it's a classic! We shouldn't hide them in our closets untill a wedding comes around. The risk is to finish like Sarah Ferguson daughters hats at the last Royal Wedding: the desire was too high, and the result just unspeakable.
All right purposes, but I'm the first to be not self-confident enough most of the time, result - several times I just don't wear them, even if I'd love to.
Two words: Head Hats Problems!
