Charming British hats Style

Charming British hats Style

When I was a little girl, all the women I knew wore hats when they went anywhere that was even a little bit dressy, In particular, most women wouldn't consider going to church without wearing a hat. This was considered a important part of their personal attire in the 1950's. Gradually, beginning in the 1960's, women's styles became more casual. Even churches no longer expected women to show up in hats. As the years went by, women rarely wore hats and, when they did, they were more likely to be beach hats, sun visors or baseball style caps rather than the dressy hats of the 1950's.   In the past few years, however, many American women have become fascinated with the idea of wearing a fascinator and I have begun to see them popping up in church, at weddings, during garden parties, and at women's luncheons in various parts of the United States. They have even become popular at certain kinds of cocktail parties. Americans began to fall in love with fascinators and other cute cocktail hats after the wedding of Kate Middleton to Prince William of Britain. Millions of people around the world watched the wedding live on television, and some even went so far as to visit England at the time of the royal wedding. Watching the guests show up in their wedding attire, wearing a wide variety of striking hats, began to make American women aware of how drab and boring many of our outfits are, by comparison. Another person who has inspired our interest in fascinators is Lady Gaga. She often wears them in her shows, sometimes with an attached mask. Prior to the royal wedding, Barbara Walters did a television special where she went to the British shop that sells fascinators to members of the British aristocracy and royal family. The hat maker had also designed some of the fabulous creations worn by Lady Gaga. When Barbara Walters tried on a few of the fascinators, even she was totally transformed!
