If You Admire The Duchess of Kent's Hats..
Then these are for
you
--Because they are similar in style to the hats she. herself usually chooses,
The Duchess of Kent's beauty is such that sho could wear any shape of hat and get away with it. but her favourites seem to be modern versions of the Edwardian bonnets that her great-aunt Alex- andra, whom she so much resembles, used to wear. And it is from the hats of Alexandra that Aage Thaarup, the designer, got his inspiration for these three models.
If you have fallen for these hats and would like to follow the Duchess's lead, but have doubts whether Alexandrian bonnets would suit you, take a look at yourself in n mirror. Decide whe- ther, like the Duchess, you have a long ovai face, clear-cut regular features, high cheek-bones.
Besides these, you will need a dash of sophisti. cution for these hats are not for the very young girl-and impeccably well-dressed hair. Try having it styled specially to suit the bonnet, in long ringlets at the buck.
This navy coloured salior with a narrow upturned brim is made in Cellophane straw, and trimmed with a cluster of pink and white moss roses. Long streamers of navy blue weiling fall from the back of the brim over the hair, and float down almost to the waist. (They can be tied round under the chin, if you wish).
