Hats are "In" Again

I saw on a recent news report that hats are in again! For people who know me. Hats have not been an intrigal part of my wardrobe, until very recently. As a kid growing up a hat was plopped on my head usually around Easter with the laced bonnet or if I had a cold or ear infection my mom usually made me wear a scarf or knitted cap so my ears would recover. Usually the first chance I could get the hat came off. Once in a great while I would pop on a baseball cap but only as a last resort.

Several times I had to wear a hat or decorated cap when I was figure skating. I found there is really know way to have your hair styled high on your head and wear a top hat at the same time. It really doesn't put forth a fashion statement.

But recently I have bought a couple winter caps and since our Corvette purchase a visors that I pop when we have put the top down.

This recent news report said fedoras are back in style have probably a 40 year rest. Many of the current red carpet stars sport a fashionable fedora. I always thought only certain few can actually do hats and you definitely have to feel comfortable with one on your head. I always thought my head was a little larger and being only 5'2 thought a hat just wasn't me.

My grandpa always sports fedoras. A grey one for every day and darker for special times out. Always a little over one side to make him look mysterious.

Maybe that's why people are getting back into hats. The mystery one can put forth. Although it is probably more just styles are on a revolving door spurts and now is the time for people to wear fashionable head wear.

Well as it is I am a shoe fantatic but you never know you might catch me in a smart hat.
