We are all familiar with Santa's hat but did you know that there are many more holidays that require a special kind of hat? We've rounded up the most unique occasions for which it has been a long tradition to wear a hat. Meet these traditions head-on and keep looking your best.
Easter Bonnet
For many people, a new Easter outfit isn't complete without an Easter bonnet. The first Easter after the Civil War ended, otherwise known as the “Sunday of Joy”, was an opportunity to replace dark clothing with outfits full of pastel colours and flowers, to signal that a new era had begun. The women would try to outdo each other with the most extravagant bonnets which came in many different shapes, sizes and colours. It has been an important part of Easter ever since, that even the Royal Family participates in. Opt for the Claar beret or Jade trilby hat to make complete your Easter outfit and celebrate the beginning of Spring and a new life.
Lunar New Year
From red lanterns to red outfits, red is the official colour of the Lunar New Year. The colour red is considered to bring good luck and great fortune to all and is therefore widely used on this celebratory day. Wearing new, colourful clothing from head to toe symbolizes a new start and fresh hopes for the New Year. Top of a full red look with the Sophia cloche in red or Mare beret in bordeaux red for a festive mood.
The Whites of Shavuot
The Jewish holiday Shavuot is a way to celebrate the receiving of the Torah. On this holiday everyone wears white and there are many different interpretations of the meaning behind this tradition. Some say it's an interpretation of wedding outfits as bride and groom receiving the Torah, while others state it's a symbol of a clean slate of consciousness. Whatever the case may be, the colour white plays a vital role in the celebration of this Holiday. If you want to dress in white from head to toe, opt for the Lena or Tara in white.
Royal Moments
Royal tradition dictates that women must wear hats to weddings and other official occasions such as Royal Ascot and Trooping the Colour. This tradition stems from the early half of the 20th century when upper-class women didn't show their hair in public. It has since become a much-beloved fashion tradition for the Royal family and anyone who attends these formal events. Prinsjesdag is one of those special occasions in the Netherlands where Kajsa Ollongren has been seen wearing the Veronique hat. Horseracing events around the world are also known for participating in this tradition, such as the Melbourn cup in Australia and Royal Ascot in the UK. The hats that are worn on these special occasions are called ceremonial hats and include fascinators, pillboxes and wide brim hats. The Audrey, Anne and Veerle are some of our most loved hats for Royal Moments like these.
