Coordinating Hats

Brickwork Hat (inspired by a design from The Lavender Chair) and Button Beanie Flapper Hat (design of Simply Made by Erin) crocheted in 61% Cotton/12% Linen and 27% Polyamide

Two people wearing similar hats draw attention. They could be a dazzling mother and daughter, a fun father and son, romantic partners, close sisters or BFFs.

I think it’s a bit too cutesy when the hats are identical or matchy-matchy. Coordinating hats is another story. The hat wearers can express their individuality and personality while wearing hats that resemble each other, for example, in colour, material or style. Each can wear what suits his or her face shape, features, and complexion.

It can be charming to see the reflection of an older person in a younger one sporting a coordinated hat, or the other way around. What’s suggested is belonging together, having fun or respecting each other. Regardless, there’s an indication of something special between two humans.
