Etiquette and Women’s Hat Choices


A hat set on the head at the wrong angle, a feather jutting out at cross-purposes with the crown, a brim that is jagged and slashed or a hat whose color clashes with her complexion, may rob a woman of her natural dignity and grace.


Choosing a Becoming Hat


A frame sets off a picture, so a hat should enhance the charm of the face underneath it. If you have soft, regular features, you can safely wear such angular models as the tricorn or brimless hats, but if the fine lines of your face are sharp, select hats with a round line, unbroken by points and turns. For almost anyone, a little brim, at least over the eyes, is more flattering.

A hat set on the head at the wrong angle, a feather jutting out at cross-purposes with the crown, a brim that is jagged and slashed or a hat whose color clashes with her complexion, may rob a woman of her natural dignity and grace. Do not get a hat which is too heavy for your features and seems to weigh on your head. — The Woman's World Book Of Etiquette, 1928
