It's been a while since I did a good Downton Abbey post. So it's about time for one! I've warmed considerably towards 20s fashions lately. And I adore hats so hat's it is today.
I've always adored the cute 20s close fitting cloche hats. I think that they are flattering on just about anyone.
Plus they tend to be rather easy to find in modern reproductions. You can always retrim a store bought hat to look more period or to match your outfit.
And, of course, a bob goes perfectly with a cloche!
Don't have short hair? Never fear! Plenty of ladies faked the fashionably bob by pulling their hair into a low bun at the back of the neck. Wear with or without fingerwaves for a smashing 20s look!
While wool cloches were rather popular, straw ones are perfect for summer.
Don't be afraid of fabulous trims! A multicolored ribbon on a neutral colored hat will go with so many outfits.
Neutrals like black or dark red will go with many different outfits. The idea of a pop of color is not new.
Go with a matching hat for a classically put together look too!
Do you have a favorite hat from season 5?
All of them are my favorites! Adorable hats.
ReplyDeleteWhere did you find these screen captures? I've been wanting to find some to take a good look at some of the lovely jewellery pieces worn in Season 5!
ReplyDeleteThey are all from Pinterest.
DeleteI ADORE cloche hats! They look fabulous on practically everyone and, like you, I like to trim them myself. So many opportunities for a truly unique hat.
ReplyDelete*Swoon!* Though the vast (and I do mean vast) majority of 1920s hats look atrocious on me (with cloches usually being the biggest offenders), that certainly doesn't mean that I don't appreciate and adore looking at them, because I most certainly do.

I recently got a cloche, and I LOVE it! Can't wait to do some cute faux bob styles and maybe collect more cloches.
ReplyDeleteI need to catch up on Downton, I'm terribly behind, and lazy. I'll just binge watch one day when I'm supposed to be studying, I'm sure.
