Hats for fall 2012

I am often asked what is the if tend for next season. Menswear inspired hats like fedoras are still very popular as are 1920/30 cloches, but at the end of they day hats are a very personal accessory and a very emotional purchase. Large brims did not retail last season but I am once again seeing them in designer windows for fall 2012.  Ditto for bowlers, I have tried them the past 2 years with luke warm reaction. Ladies will usually buy a mans tweed flat cap from the haberdashery department, so for fall 2012, I am once again betting on fedoras with a feminine trim, molded felt caps and my trade mark cloche styles.

My 2tone Carnaby fedora will also be available at Lord and Taylor for fall 2012.

In fall 2012 hat holds a special place among the relevant headwear. This colorful accessory can definitely help in creating of an unforgettable image, which is the main goal of the season fashion collections.
