How to wear an evening cocktail hat - advice from milliner Abigail Aldridge

What Hat to Wear to an Evening Event

Remember my fascinator hat from the Junior League Tea Party? That was an Abigail Aldridge creation! I asked New York City milliner Abigail Aldridge to share some of her top tips on wearing a hat or headpiece to an evening event, and she was kind enough to share the following recommendations:

What hat to wear to dinner at a restaurant? 

Small brim hat with decorative trim, velvet beret or cocktail hat with short veil.

What hat to wear to a Birthday party? 

Fascinator or conversation piece.

What hat to wear to a Great Gatsby 1920's party? 

Cloche with bright color and/or sparkling trim, beaded headband around the forehead or feather piece.

What hat to wear to the Opera, Ballet, Theatre or Musical Concert?

Anything fancy without veils or high feathers so as not to obstruct the sightlines of yourself or others.

Abigail told me that traditionally, hats have not been worn for black tie affairs (only hair ornaments), but as fashion has become more individualistic this is changing. I agree with her that some level of appropriateness is fine as a sign of consideration of others.

My favorite tip from Abigail:

Remember, you will have more fun if you dress up and wear an elegant hat!

Sunday Brunch at Steaming Tender in Palmer, Mass.

Anthropologie ruffled trench coat, Macy's cloche hat

Arun and I went to breakfast at Steaming Tender restaurant in Palmer, MA on our way home to Troy, NY from Boston, MA. This post is for my friend Jessica - she is going to love these photos!

 Some folks in Palmer, MA remade the historic train station into a restaurant. The beauty is in the details - the ladies room is full of antique photos, and almost everywhere I looked there were train travel related signs or mementos.

Their service was excellent and friendly, delivered by waitstaff in striped railroad overalls. The Sunday Brunch is delicious, with enough options for a vegetarian. The home fries are worth writing home about, but the real reason to visit is to experience the ambiance and hopefully, a train or two going by right outside the window during your meal.
