Hats are back... Long live hats! It seems that at weddings we see more and more further guests elegant women who choose to wear a wide-brimmed hat. Finally! I'm celebrating because I'm a big fan of wide-brimmed hats and... headdresses at daytime weddings, and I'm not the only one who wears something on my head anymore. A wide-brimmed hat in summer, and a fascinator in winter. They elevate any style in every possible way. They don't just add a few centimeters: they transform our look in a style worthy of the best dressed ranking in any magazine.

GUESTS WITH HATS: THE PROTOCOL
What is the protocol for wearing a hat? Only in the morning. If the wedding is at midday, the larger size is acceptable. As the morning progresses, the size should be smaller. It should never exceed the size of the shoulders, We must not disturb our tablemates.
In winter, more seasonal fabrics like velvet are acceptable. Accessories such as feathers, which are more suited to dark, autumnal styles, are also appropriate. In summer, natural fabrics and simple hats. It's better to play with shape than with accessories. In summer, less is always more. And of course, no fascinators. A hat not only enhances our style, it also protects us from the sun. As a complement and part of the Look, only women can keep their hats on while eating. We take this off when the bride and groom start their first dance.
