What We Wore in '74: Hats (David Jones, Spring and Summer 1974)

 Though hats had ceased being everyday wear by the 1970s, they were still available for those who wanted to wear them for a special occasion—at the races, perhaps, or at a wedding, or just adding a final touch to a trendy outfit.  

David Jones, Spring-Summer 1974

A: Be a shady lady in this lacy big brimmed beauty from the East.  Fun on any summer outing. 
B: Pack up your troubles with our packable floppy brim hat from Italy.  Comes up smooth and unruffled every time.
C: The snappy cap for sporty new summer looks.  With a gored crown and small visor.  In navy or red denim.
D: Import scarf hat for cool, collected casual wear.  Spun check cotton, with padded front, elastic back for perfect fit.
E: Romantic Italian natural straw, sporting a bunch of ripe red cherries.
F: A hot day special!  Medium brimmed cotton with gore crown.

Seventies nostalgia is very evident in some of these hats.  The deep crowns and shady brims of hats A, B and E recall the fashions of the late 1920s and early 1930s.
