I know I’ve said it before: South Africans simply don’t wear enough headwear: I say “headwear” as it encompasses a lot more than simply hats. Im talking about funky hairpieces, beanies, fedoras scarves – anything one would put in their hair. And I’m not sure why we choose to stay away from said headwear: go to Paris or London and no ones head is bare. Here are a couple of snaps of great headwear that I’m talking about:
From the beanie when the weather is a bit dodge:
To a panama hat when it’s bright and sunny out
Headwear also doesn’t discriminate – you can wear it with whatever outfit, whatever shoes or whatever colour. If the thought of wearing something on your head frightens you – start off small with cute hair accessories and graduate slowly to a full blown hat. They will be the perfect accessory this summer: keeping you cool but also looking fantastic.
I am addicted to fourties and fifties headwear!
Spend hours scouring vintage sections of flea markets and thrift stores!
I know Pippa, I hear you! I love hats, but always feel that not enough people wear them… Lets have a national head day!
