Austin Fashion Week this year could have been called Austin Hat Week. Every time I turned around I saw another interesting and vintage inspired head piece. Sometimes a hat adds something to an outfit making the ensemble look complete and finished. But, other times a hat is the star of the show making the rest of the outfit draw your attention to the hat itself. I saw instances of both of these stylish scenarios during Austin Fashion Week this year. I think the amount of hats I saw during the week can be attributed to the fact that there are several hat designers in Austin itself.
It makes sense that there would be an abundance of hat designers in Austin. Austin is a town known for loving vintage. There was once a time when it was considered disgraceful for a lady not to wear a hat outside of the house. While these societal pressures of yesteryear will obviously never become the norm in Austin, I can see vintage style hats becoming a more popular staple in our fashion scene.
Will you be wearing a vintage style hat this fall/winter season?
