Through history, we have seen the hat evolving - from a practical item to a symbol status with authority. In the 19th century, women used to wear hats that were quite big and heavily decorated. The etiquette in the 20th century required that every person, regardless of gender and place in society, should have a hat to wear. The stylish hats were still pretty big at the beginning of that century as well however as time passed by and women started changing their hairdos, the hats were slowly reduced in size and decoration. The hats were always in fashion and used for various occasions. Nowadays, hats are turning into a very stylish fashion accessory in the fashion collections of designers from around the world. In Britain, women wear hats for special occasions - horse races, christenings, weddings, etc. They find this accessory to be the perfect addition to their attire. A bigger hat is the perfect accessory to save your hairdo from the unpredictable British weather as well. Of course women around the world are starting to wear the practical hat much more often and we can see many celebrities on TV to appear with sporty or classy hats.
