Family Occasions

Fedora, boater, coolie, fascinator, halo, headband, panama, trilby, turban, vintage beret, not forgetting the millinery styles made famous by fashion icons such as Audrey Hepburn, Christian Dior, and Coco Chanel – these all conjure up hats that we are familiar with, making such styles timeless classics. Depending on their shape, colour, texture, and trim, most of these classic millinery styles can be transformed into a hat or headpiece suitable for almost any family occasion such as a christening, bar mitzvah, funeral, cocktail or garden party, wedding or even an investiture showpiece.

Before making a definite choice of outfit, check if there is a dress code for the event you are attending. For instance, if you are lucky enough to be receiving an award at Buckingham Place, commentators report that HM The Queen prefers small slightly understated headpieces. You can find timeless classics suitable for all family and special occasions, including classic summer and winter millinery pieces such as picture hats, vintage berets and fur felt fedoras many with beautiful feather handmade trims, available from the Ready to Wear Online Store
