2 GREAT TRUE VINTAGE FASHION – STATEMENT HATS FROM THE 1960’S

2 GREAT TRUE VINTAGE FASHION - STATEMENT HATS FROM THE 1960'S

These are wonderful hats. Marlene, on the left, is wearing a lovely velour brimmed model with a wooden buckle decoration. It is, I believe, from Montreal.

Celia, on right, sports a velveteen style which Courreges made popular (I think he was the first one) in the mid – late 1960’s. It’s styled after the caps that Bobbies wear/wore in Britain and came from Peck & Peck in New York.

Think, also, Mary Quant and Twiggy for Celia’s hat. Very Mod. It was followed shortly (I think that’s the order they came in) by the Carnaby Street look – brimmed caps, neckties, hip-huggers, paisley patterns.

Lots of fun fashion finds from the Sixties . . . . . . . . . . .

A COLLECTION OF SMALL, VERY PRETTY TRUE VINTAGE HATS WITH VEILS AND DECORATION

A COLLECTION OF SMALL, VERY PRETTY TRUE VINTAGE HATS WITH VEILS AND DECORATION

This little group are from the 1950’s and 1940’s, in small styles that complement your clothing in a very striking way but don’t overpower. I love the small details! Little bits of feathers . . ….. .. . ..  Sorry that the color isn’t the best in the photograph.  They are black, mocha and dark brown.

Veils are always attractive and flirty. The beret styles have cute, eye-catching elements. The two together, black and white on the top right, are simple but very interesting because of this.

I’ll put one on when I want to add something special. They always get noticed.  Therefore, not during an investigation . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

TRUE VINTAGE BLACK FELT BRIMMED LADIES’ HATS

TRUE VINTAGE BLACK FELT BRIMMED LADIES' HATS

Black felt hats are a staple in anyone’s vintage or modern wardrobe. Notice the unusual shapes and trim that distinguishes these from today’s styles. You’ll also notice a difference in the quality of the felt.  These examples, I believe, are from the 1940’s – probably my favorite era.
