"A hat is a flag, a shield, a bit of armor, and the badge of femininity. A hat is the difference between wearing clothes and wearing a costume; it's the difference between being dressed and being dressed up; it's the difference between looking adequate and looking your best. A hat is to be stylish in, to glow under, to flirt beneath, to make all others seem jealous over, and to make all men feel masculine about. A piece of magic is a hat."
Here are a few "badges of femininity" that recently peaked my interest.
Your fashion sense will shine with this wool felt cap featuring multisize rhinestones scattered on the right side. A 2 1/2" brim and an interior grosgrain ribbon sweatband complete the design.

The Nine West Felt Velvet Cloche is a timeless style - 20's style with a modern edge. It's also available in red, chocolate and black.
Nine West Felt Velvet Cloche $38.00 / Macy's
The "swirl hat" - a mix of the newsboy cap and the cloche - is styled in a luxe wool felt. It is structured and the crown is constructed with what can best be called ridges underneath that create a swirl pattern. The brim is pert and jaunty, and the base of the hat is trimmed with a slim braided black leather cord topped with a row of gold zipper teeth.
