Fashionable Hat Pins
Hat pins are a popular accessory with women around the world. A hat pin is a small decorative and functional pin designed to hold a hat flatly to the head, often by the side. In Western cultures, hat pins are usually only used by women and are usually worn alone in a large pair, sometimes even with a feather. Often they are around 6 inches in circumference, the plane most likely being the smallest in a group.
Today, they are making a comeback in the fashion world. While they may be primarily thought of as accessories for women’s hats, there are actually many hat pins designed to fit men. Men’s fashion is a whole different ball game, however, because men typically wear their hair short or in a more conservative style. This makes it difficult for ladies with long hair to find hats that will not snag or pull. In addition, men’s fashion tends to move at a slower pace than that of women, so they do not have the same selection to draw upon as ladies do. There are, however, some very stylish hat pins available for men to use with their clothing in an effort to find a fashion accessory that fits perfectly.
Hat pins have been around since as long as can be remembered. They were first made popular by guilds and medieval knights who wore them to indicate their place in society. The first popular style was that of a ring with a name engraved on the ring, but over time other shapes and styles became popular. Today, they are just as fashionable as ever, but serve as a fashion accessory in their own right. Whether worn alone or along with a full beard, they make a great fashion statement for men who wish to stand out from the crowd.
