(…. and for women who keep their men “stylin'”) In the early years of the last century it was customary for men to wear hats as part of their daily attire. Take a look at most sporting events of 50 to 100 years ago. Men’s fashion in those days were suits, sport coats, ties, dress shoes and of course the hat to bring it all together. As you can see in this race track photo from yesteryear hats were the fashion.
Somewhere around the early 60s’ and about the time of Elvis and the Beatles, head apparel disappeared altogether and long hair and big hair came into fashion. Into the 70’s, hats came back in the form of the baseball caps. But the brimmed hats of long ago are, over the last dozen years, slowly making a comeback and are the thing to wear to sporting events of all kinds these days – like the local race track and especially to The Kentucky Derby. Here are some things to know when choosing a great hat.
