It was an essential part of getting dressed to leave the house. Over time, that all changed. Nowadays it is rare to see women wearing hats in church. Since the courtship of Prince William and Kate Middleton there has been a resurgence of hat-wearing.

Essence magazine also featured an article all about the toppers, and how you can incorporate them into your style. I loved every one of them.
