Easy Glamour: Wear A Vintage Hat!

When did wearing a hat go out of fashion? I fondly look at photos of women in vintage magazines and catalogs and greatly wish women wore hats on a regular basis! There are just so many fantastic choices out there!

I completely detest baseball caps on women (although, I have been known to quickly throw one on when I go for a jog...). Come on ladies, let's bring back "the hat".

Did you know the hat is Dita Von Teese's favorite accessory?

"I also used clothes as a way to counteract my extreme shyness when I was younger. I wore a lot of extravagant vintage hats, which can make people somewhat intimidated. I think people will only approach if they have something very, very interesting to say to the girl in the outrageous hat!"

And speaking of outrageous hats...well, perhaps not outrageous... but definitely noteworthy... coming soon to the vintage shop, vintage hats from the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s! Oh, and one sun hat from the Edwardian era!!!



The vintage hats arriving in our shop, especially the vintage hats from the 1940s, really have me wishing my hair was longer again so I could style it in pincurls and victory rolls and top it off with a pretty little hat. At the moment my hairstyle best suits a 1920s style cloche, but I rarely see these and when I do they cost nearly an arm and a leg *sigh*

Posting more vintage hat inspirations later on... btw, Happy October everyone!

I will be adding additional images and measurements of all of these vintage lovelies in about an hour. I'm off to pick up my stepdaughter from school and need to grab lunch because my stomach is complaining... :)

Lovely Vintage Finds: Pretty Vintage Hats

I would love to start wearing hats, but I haven't quite figured out how to easily incorporate them in casual daywear like women did back in the good old days. Here are a lovely vintage hats from the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s that are quite special, but are really the kind of hats you can't wear day to day unless you are Dita Von Teese.


Vintage Shop Links: 1.] 1930s Black Velvet Hat from BallyhooVintage, 2.] 1950s Green Feathered Hat from TangerineBoutique, 3.] Vintage 1940s Sequined Topper from Flashbax, 4.] Vintage 1950s Straw Hat from Lilthedog

Lovely Vintage Hats from the 1950s

Aren't these vintage hats so lovely? I have a few more to post but will be adding them periodically throughout the week. I found quite a few vintage hats and hair accessories over the weekend (one I am seriously considering on keeping because it is just SO LOVELY but I can already foresee that I won't have anywhere to wear it to...)

Anyhow, here are the 2 vintage hats new in the shop today!
