Nordstrom Wool Cloche with Patent Band
The Roaring 20s have become one of the great inspirations for designers in their fall/winter collections. The item we are most obsessed with right now, is the cloche hat, a perfect investment for the upcoming season. It’s feminine and classic, but when worn with a pair of jeans and a perfectly tailored jacket, endows a cool modern twist, especially if the young woman doesn’t want to look like a dame.

The 1920’s look is in again. That’s just perfect! If Obama gets elected it’ll look really good with the Great Depression he’ll bring on America; bigger than the one of 1929.
Yeah, Obama can bring back the Zoot suit.
I’m hearing that women are already asking for the glasses.
The zoot suit was from the late 1930s and the 1940s, not the twenties. The film Casablanca was 1942.
The twenties, of course, is famous as a period of prosperity and wild living in the US. Unfortunately, it ended with the election of Franlklin D. Roosevelt in 1932 and the Great Depression, which he caused with his Communistic policies. I hope that is not an augury for the election of another Communist (Obama) and another Depression due to the imposition of Communist policies on the US.

Wonderful!
Just as long as they aren’t in those lousy mucky, muddy colors, and gray.
I hope kid gloves come back. Girls don’t know which lengths to wear when. The whole glove etiquette is lost knowledge.
To Heck with politics, I like hats, and not the baseball variety.
Nothing wrong with a good looking hat.
Looking at those hats makes me want to do something Roaring Twenties-ish, like make gin in the bathtub.
The 20’s look first made a comeback in the 1960’s-early 70’s nostalgia era, especially due to the Bonnie & Clyde film. Like the old saying goes, everything old is new again. I remember buying a red felt cloche at the time, as a teen - a great hat.
By the way, a cloche would have literally been “old hat” during Humphrey Bogart’s movie-making years - far out of date at that point.
My welders seem familiar with it.
As is the use of silverware ;-)
These are lovely... I’m not a fan of the knit one, but I’m glad to know that hats are back. Too bad the good ones are fairly expensive, but a girl can dream.
The DUmp calls it a ‘annoying up-do’ but I think it’s cute.

The Urban Outfitters knit cloche reminds me of something I crocheted back in the 70s (I learned as a little girl). It was kinda the ‘Rhoda Morgenstern’ (from the Mary Tyler Moore Show) ‘look.’ I crocheted vests too...
I have never seen a good look at the back of her updo. To me a chignon is more of a bun type ‘do...I think this is more of a simple French twist, leaving the ends fall casually. Its an easy style for longer hair.
Ahh, I will defer to you on the taxonomy of hairstyles, as my own “stylist” is a fat, chain-smoking Russian Jew who uses #2 electric clippers.
LOMFL!
