Ladies Hats

Hats are head coverings with a crown and usually a brim. They are distinguished from caps that are brimless but may have a visor. Hats are important because they adorn the head, which is the seat of human rational powers, and they also frame the face. A hat is a head covering which is worn for various reasons, including protection against weather conditions, ceremonial reasons such as university graduation, religious reasons, safety, or as a fashion accessory. Women as far back as early history have worn hats or head coverings. Historically, hats have been a symbol of wealth, rank in society, or even of religious virtue. While much has changed since the Renaissance era, hats have almost always been a staple when it comes to women's fashion.
