Added 2024-11-05 12:00:19 +0000 UTCOk the hat is giving vintage feminine edge lord but I'm leaving it because I love hats even if they look better on people that are not me, and I love the lore around them.
This is a 1940s velvet hat with faux flowers. Women's fashion throughout the 20th century typically included a hat for most outings. As tradition would have it, her hat would be worn tilted to her right side, as her gentleman accompaniment was typically on her left. Gentlemen accompanied women on their left side throughout history for two (main) reasons:
1. In antiquity, a man's swrd hand was trained to be with his right hand, and his swrd would be worn on his left side. Should a situation arise, he could easily access it without concern to her as he accessed it.
2. In more modern times in America, women walked on the building-side of the thoroughfare, away from the road where carriages/cars were.
So, women's hats were designed to lean to their right side to allow for easy gazing upon their company who traditionally would be on her left. 💕
