women preferred something fancier and more elegant looking such as a lavish hat with a wide brim designed with either tulle or ribbon.
Another thing that was in at this time was the Silhouette, a lavish hat with a wide brim design with real human hair that the women used to collect either from their own hair or others.
By 1902, the Pompadours were very in. It was a plain hat with a wide brim used as a base for women to build their hair up on to form what we call today a "poof" or a "bump". So it gave the impression like all the hair was just sitting perfectly on its own but really it was backed up by a large sturdy brim. From , these hats were still in except that they were made smaller and hat narrower trimmings to give it that more natural look.
Wide hats decorated with flowers, fruit and berries were also very fashionable at this time because it made one look like they were rich and wealthy with an abundance of these things on the crown of their hat.
By the time the 1930's came around, high crowned hats that sat on an angle on the head were very in style. Another type of hat or head covering worn at this time was the Snood - basically a cloth bag to hold, hide and cover ones hair. It is simple, neat, and works well with any length hair. Snoods then were either crocheted or knitted and were easy to make at home.
One of the head covers that many people wore at this time was the Beret - A soft, round brimless cap with a flat crown. Often made of wool or cotton which makes them extremely soft and pleasant to wear- they came in many different styles and designs. These were worn with more casual dresses and suits.
Another hat that was very popular at this time was the Turban. Since ladies started working in factories at this time- the turban made a perfect hat or head covering because it kept the hair away from the face and covered it securely so it wouldn't get caught in the machines. Fancy and dressy turbans were made out of fancier materials (such as velvet) and had extra designs such as bows or feathers on the top
After the war, hats started going out of style and woman didn't find the need to wear hats on a regular basis. In order to preserve the market, the industries made a variety of very fancy hats and made it a "necessity" to wear a hat with any outfit. Hats that sat flat on the head came into style at this time. They were made dressy and extremely comfortable to wear. By the late 1950's the Turban came back into style.
However, in the hats went out of style because women preferred getting their hair done at the salon or hair dresser at this time.
