Best Hats To Wear This Fall Season.
Written by
Coco Chanel
Mme. Chanel knew a thing or two about hats; that they were elegant, chic, and most of all, necessary to complement any outfit. The art of millinery is timeless and as fashion designers showed during their past Fall collections, the novelty of a hat will never cease.
