The painting shows a man wearing a conical straw hat. Structured hats for women began to be worn in the late 16th century. Millinery is the designing and manufacture of hats. The term “milliner” derived from the city of Milan, Italy. The best quality hats were made in Milan in the 18th century. Millinery began as traditionally a woman’s occupation, as the milliner not only created hats and bonnets but also chose lace, trim and accessories to complete an outfit. In the middle of the 1920′s, to replace the bonnets and wide-brimmed hats, women began to wear smaller hats that hugged their heads. Did you know? More body heat is lost from your head than other parts of the body. So, wearing a hat goes a long way towards staying warm on a cold winters day (or night).Hang on to your hats and celebrate in style on January 15, with millions of others across the nation, as it is the annual celebration of National Hat Day.
