Mad Hatter Day: Get Ready To Turn Heads In These Fab Hats!

|

The Mad Hatter Day was started in the United States of America to celebrate Lewis Carroll's fictional character from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. We love the Hatter because he's a mad tea drinker! No, seriously, we love him because of his impeccable sense of radical style and taste. Wait, you don't believe he's in vogue? Well, we've got some great stuff penned ahead but before you read on, put your thinking caps on, this is going to be a fun day.

Why does the Hatter always wear a hat? Is it too sunny in Wonderland? Highly doubtful. On the contrary, we think that the Hatter is more about sending a message to the world by sporting this accessory than worrying about his complexion issues. The Hatter, according to the tale, disrespected the Queen of Hearts and got punished by Time (Time is a person here) and therefore, he's cursed to live in perpetual tea time. He makes hats for a living and enjoys frustrating Alice with a ridiculous riddle which has no answer. Curiouser and curiouser.

Why are we discussing the significance of the Mad Hatter? Well, simply because we enjoy reading about silliness and adore the headgear! Did you think we would be diving into the deeper layers of the story, into the underlying themes and motifs? No, this is all about fashion and how we can incorporate a little bit of the Hatter's mad hat look into our wardrobe.

This style of hat is called a cloche because, well, if you ever saw a cloche you'd get it. For those of you who haven't, a cloche is a metal dome chefs and restaurants use as a lid to keep food warm and safe till guests arrive. Cloche hats were famous in the 1920s, during the flapper era. They were the symbol of glamour and class, even today, women who wear cloche hats are known to be uber stylish and elegant.
