Hats, Hats, Everywhere…Even in our Speech!

Womens Hats have somehow made it into our everyday language!

Hats have been around for ages and have touched all segments of society. The popularity of hats have led to an amazing amount of expressions that include the word hat. To demonstrate we’ve put together a compostion centered around the word hat.Have you ever heard of edible hats?! Well if you have, “I’ll eat my hat”. Actually, I think I can think of some “at the drop of a hat”. How about the Hamantaschen? If you haven’t yet tasted this triangular filled cookie – you’ve been missing out. It’s a delicious cookie or pastry filled with any filling of your choice. The most typical ones are the chocolate or jelly, yet there are plenty more flavors that people have enjoyed tasting. This cookie is in the shape of a hat in remembrance to Haman’s hat. Now, I’m sure I can come up with another one or two but “I’ll keep those under my hat” and see what you can come up with! Gosh, I’m totally “talking through my hat”, I can’t think of any other edible hat although I could probably use my imagination and make some up if I had too. However, I’ll start to “pass the hat around” and collect some of your ideas; a penny for your thoughts! Now, don’t “throw your hat” at it just yet, give it a try and find the originality that lies within you! Alright, it doesn’t have to be the most brilliant idea or invention; it can be an “old hat” if that’s the only thing you can come up with. So, if your one of those that will give it a try “Hats off to you!!!”

It’s amazing how the word “HAT” made it into our vocabulary even when we’re talking nothing about a hat, head or even body! The only reason I can come up with is because hats are so comfortable to wear that we feel so comfortable just saying it whenever, however and to whoever! Plus there is a hat for every occasion, just think of womens hats, fedoras, caps, chaponnes and more. Obviously that is not the reason but I’m sure there’s a reason I just don’t know! Alright, you’re probably just edging to know what all those sayings on the first paragraph mean, so let me get to the point.

- I’ll eat my hat : I will be greatly surprised if (something that proves me wrong) happens

- At the drop of a hat : without hesitation or delay

- Keep (something) under one’s hat : to keep (something) a secret

- Talk through one’s hat : a. to talk foolishly b. to deceive, bluff or lie

- Pass the hat round : to collect something (usually money)

- Throw one’s hat : to give up

- Old hat : something stale, lame or old-fashioned

- Take off one’s hat : to admire or congratulate

- My hat: a. my word b. nonsense

- Out of a hat: a. by magic b. at random

Winter Whites and the New You!

 

Try some white headcoverings this winter

Surveys prove that the majority of people’s skin gets lighter in the winter from the cold. In the summer, when the sun’s out and shining it gives color to your face, but when winter rolls around and the sun’s nowhere in sight the color drains from your face giving you a paler complexion.
So the big question is: what color and style head coverings and/or hair accessories should you wear in the winter???
Well the answer’s simple. Wearing a dark colored head covering or hair accessories will just make your face paler than it is already because the contrast is drastic but wearing something more light or white would do the trick because since it is light it will makes your face look darker than it is. The truth is that white is a great color no matter what your skin tone or complexion is.
The color white is very in style this winter. White is simple yet so elegant and classy- it gives that warm and cozy look like fresh white snow. Imagine…just drinking that delicious hot chocolate in the morning with your fresh white gloves, scarf and beret- there’s just nothing like it! Just the color can make you feel warm!
There are many different shades of white- from off white to ivory, the icy solid winter white or light beige- you gotta see which one suits you best!
If your one of those that always said “white is just not me” – you just have to try it and see what your missing out on!
However, if your still unsure if you like it or not after you’ve tried it on, it’s best to stick to the light colors, like a light pastel pink, green, lavender or blue. Light grey also does very well in the winter. Of course, you could always get a mix of white and another light color. For example: a white and light grey striped Israeli tichel or an off white and light brown head wrap. You can do the same for woman’s hats, a pre-tied bandana, a headband or a beret.
Trust me, once you get hooked on to white it’ll become the new you!

Importance of Women’s Hats for Winter

Winter Hats and Chaponnes on MyHeadcoverings

Women’s hats come in so many different styles that choosing the kind that best suits your needs for the wintery weather may be a difficult task. There are some tricks to choosing that will keep you feeling warm and looking stylish during these cold months.

There are many fashionable, warm hats from which to choose. The first step in selecting the appropriate hat is to assess your area’s winter climate. Different regions require different headgear; women in the northeast US wear different hats than women in the northwest US. Your hairstyle also influences the type of hat you choose: will the hat cover short hair or will it need to accommodate different hairstyles?

When choosing a winter hat, it is important to also remember that the best winter hats cover your ears. If you have long hair, it may help protect your ears, but a hat that covers your ears will keep them even warmer and better insulated. Hats with ear flaps provide you with the option of leaving your ears covered or uncovered, which is a great option if the local winter temperature tends to fluctuate between freezing and cold. If you wear a hat that does not cover your ears, cover your ear by wrapping a head scarf around your head and then put on your hat.  

The right hat will protect your head without hampering your hairstyle or fashion sense.
