When Americans lost their fondness wor hats, a bit of fashion died in this country.

It would be great if hats came back—imagine what Melania, Ivanka, Tiffany, Vanessa, Lara , Kai, Chloe and Arabella Trump could do with hats! But let's thank our lucky stars they hadn't come back during the last two presidential terms. I can't even.

I remember as a young girl adoring the hats of my fashion idol, Audrey Hepburn. She wore hats better than anyone, including Jackie Kennedy:

Men’s proper hats are not real compatible with cars, so baseball caps are about it. Maybe ‘ivy caps’ could make a comeback?

She was never completely dressed without the hat. Alas, that time is long passed. Like Scarlett's lovely hat at the picnic in GWTW, this is, too, GWTW.

Now it's known as "vintage".

Just for fun, sharing this site found in surf traveling. You might get a kick out of it :-)

Back in the mid '80's, I had a couple hats I wore.

Fedoras

Like Clark Kent wore or Al Capone era gangsters.

The older people thought I looked dashing and respectable.
People my age saw me as being VERY confident.
(I guess it took some confidence to wear them, but when I was wearing them, it sure gave me a lot more)
I'd wear them tilted to the side and forward a little.

The ladies loved them.
At a party, the hat would make the rounds, where all the girls would want to wear it for awhile.

My favorite one got swiped one night, at a party, where I got hammered. Didn't know it was gone until the next day.

The other one got damaged.
