No,Jackie wore other kinds of hats,but her pillboxes (which was a resurrection of an older style,BTW) were much LARGER than "normal" such hats were. Men stopped wearing hats because of Jack;women wore pillboxes because of Jackie! :-)

Personally,I liked her hats and wore them myself.

Because I have ALWAYS worn hats,I can't put my finger on the exact date that women stopped wearing them much,but I think that it was after Jackie left the White House.

Part of the problem,was women's hairdos....falls and wigs became the "IN" thing and wearing a hat on top of all that hair,was just about impossible!

It seems now that the only time you can get a woman to wear a hat at church is on Easter Sunday. So sad. I wear either a hat or a scarf on my head EVERYTIME I go into a church. Doing my hair on Sabbath is too much work.
