Old fashioned as it may seem there is still a requirement for gentlemen to wear top hats for some social occasions in England.These hats are not worn with the white tie and tails evening dress as worn by Fred Astaire in the famous film Top Hat but with a more subtle form of attire known as morning dress.
Ascot , Royal Garden Parties, Society Weddings and Investitures are the usual occasions when this elegant form of dress should be worn.Most people hire the suit and hat.If you get a chance to wear it , do it.
Ladies this is your opportunity to buy a large,gorgeous hat NOT a fascinator to go with your lovely outfit.
If you are going to Royal Ascot see the official website advice on forms of dress.

There are several wonderful milliners in London, my favourite for men and women is Locks .If you are visiting London you can always window shop and wish.

As an artist I love the chance to draw and paint a few scenes from high society events
