Who Wore It Best?
Despite the relative lack of society events, our reporters this week were able to spot a few women out and about town, and we noticed that a trend seems to be starting for white hats! While hardly a new fashion, white tends to be seen mostly on sunny summer days and at more exotic locations such as the Sandition Resort or the Mediterranean, and less so for a casual stroll to do some shopping.

Mrs. Emma Macmillan

Mrs. Emma Macmillan was seen sporting a woven white hat with a very elaborate design on the brim and top, with a wide white ribbon around the headband. The ribbon ended in a small, flat bow offset slightly from the front of the hat, which left ribbon trails for a few inches towards the brim. She paired the hat with a similarly light-toned dress of mauve, with white lace accents.

Mrs. Phoebe Yaxley

Mrs. Yaxley's hat, while similar in color, had a much wider brim, extending nearly a foot out from her head. To prevent its blocking her vision she had bent one edge of the brim up slightly, which gave the hat a somewhat lopsided look. She used a narrow, dark ribbon at the headband to offset the otherwise plain design of the hat. She daringly paired it with an off-the-shoulder dress in a darker shade, a rarity for a day gown at any time of year.

In this case, Mrs. Macmillan's hat was by far the superior one; the elegant weaving made the white seem an appropriate accessory to the lace accents on her dress, while Mrs. Yaxley's hat was more appropriate for a day at the beach and seemed out of place on the city streets, as though she were a tourist in her own town. The relative darkness of her dress only made the white hat stand out all the more, which gave the entire ensemble a rather garish look.
