But this wonderful accessory is also a must for an exclusive garden party; the sophisticated lady knows how to impress with her style-conscious appearance. If we look at the history of trend developments, we can see that fashionable designs have undergone a renaissance since the 20th century. While feathered, opulent jewellery was first replaced by flat models and cloche hats, today it is
mixtures of traditional designs and confidently modern styles that set the tone: The popular headgear no longer has to be reserved – everything from ‘exciting’ to ‘playful’ is permitted.
Discover which luxury brands are playing their cards right when it comes to designer sun hats for women.
