New Bonnets
Linked With
H
Hair Styles
By Victoria Chappello
'AIR-STYLES in Britain are now so linked with huts that most of the newest shapes hug the head closely. The reason for this, of course, is that nothing else suits so well the chrysan- themum type haircut which shows the hair flattened to the top of the head and brushed into curls round or above the forehead, over the ears and above the neck. There are variations of this, just, as there are deviations of the close- fitting hat, but this is the main 1949 line. Not every woman, nevertheless, can wear a hat which in a mixture of bonnet and cloche,
more than she will look her best with this modern shingle, and where more important tine is needed, drapery is being subtly used. For instance, among their new Spring hats, Pisset and Pavy show an interesting type of turban bonnet which gives with to the face,
not only" by means of draped wings, but by, the use of two colours and two materials dead white crepe on one side which is also used for the thick roll forming the front of the hat, and crisp fuschia taffetas, used for the corresponding wing on the other sitle.
On the other hand, there are plenty of shapes which are bonnets, pure and simple. Some of these are not unlike the models of about 1830-40, .

trimmed with feathers, most of which are more or less luxurious and inclined to be elaborate. With these, face vells are hanging to the shoulders, much as they were 100 years ago, although then they were considerably popular tuelay: more opaque than the my mesh
Apart from these, there are models which are slightly easier for the average woman to wear. For example Dorothy Carlton makes a fairly wide-brimmed felt hit turned up in front with a trimming of dazzling wings, beautifully shaded in lovely colour tones: this is important and elegant without being exaggerated.
The attraction of a hat of this kind lies, Indeed, in the fineness of the felt and the deli- cate colourings as well as in the trimmings. Another new shape comes from Aage Thaarup. who also includes in his collection many types of the bonnet-cloche models with sugar-fout crowns in interesting felts with a rough surface. These, he believes, are ideal for the older woman who needs dignity as well as colour in her hat. and he uses trimmings of striped ribbon, sometimes with matching Blowers to give
Spring-like note.
