What are some vintage tea party hat styles?

Popular vintage tea party hat styles include small cocktail hats, Victorian hats, pillbox hats with or without veils, and cloche hats. Generally, vintage hats for tea parties are sleek and sophisticated, without too many colors or accessories such as feathers and ribbons.

When it comes to matching the vintage hat material to the season, note that spring and summer call for sinamay, straw or woven hats. On the other hand, tweed, wool or felted hats are best for fall and winter. Individuals wear veiled hats for morning or afternoon tea parties. Purchase elegant vintage tea party hats at local clothing boutiques and department stores, or from online shops that specialize in millinery.
