“A hat is a flag, a shield, a bit of armor, and the badge of femininity. A hat is the difference between wearing clothes and wearing a costume; it’s the difference between being dressed and being dressed up; it’s the difference between looking adequate and looking your best. ~ Martha Sliter
For girls who know how powerful is a hat, dressing up without a hat means not dressing up completely. But the reality is clear, not many women wear hats nowadays and the style is limited to only a few. Why is it so? When you wear a hat, you attract attention and draw as many eyes as your hat can manage. You got to be a woman of great confidence to be able to still walk like a person in spite of the many eyes looking at you.
Putting on a hat is a transformation. When you see your reflection on the mirror with that elegant headpiece, you see a new dimension of you. And even if it may sound like a cliché, with a hat on you learn to flirt, to be more feminine while also being powerful.
