Enormous Brims

Fickle fashion has had another brainstorm, and right at the very climax of the style-prestige the little hat has been enjoying this spring and summer, the style picture is being fairly stampeded with just one huge brim after another. No matter how many tiny flower confections in your hat 'wardrobe (they are still beloved and fashion correct) if you want to keep pace with fashion you’ll simply have to acquire at least one wide, wider, widest brim. The two models are typical of the new trend. The model at the top is a stunning affair of black horsehair, with its picturesque brim pleated to fall shoulder depth. Striking for summer days is the large brim model below with ita telescope crown in two tone*.
