A Vintage Womens Red Velvet Hat Adds Sex Appeal
Why is it that a vintage womens red velvet hat can make women very sexy? Is it because of things in the past? I don't know except it just does. Hats add a slight mystery to the women who wears them today. Though a red retro hat is very seldom worn today as an accessory, they can still add to a woman's sex appeal. Young women today are missing out on a choice to look even better.
It seems that the young women of today culture have no interest in dressing up. To them dressing up is putting on a clean pair of jeans with or without holes as long as it is clean. The closest they come to wearing a hat is an old baseball cap. Our young woman at the counter of our dry cleaners always wore a vintage hat, nothing fancy but it was just cool. She was attractive and I think the hat added to it.
Some of the old hats were huge and I mean huge. They were so large that they would be floppy hats because of the weight would cause them to fall down. A woman could take the rim of the hat and cover her face with only her eyes showing. With a twinkle in her eyes, she could give you the come hither look. You just don't see that today.
If you read your history, you know the flapper hat was very much part of dressing up during the roaring 20's. A woman wouldn't leave her home without wearing her black flapper hat. The man was always seen with his fedora. Mens fedora hats are still popular even today.
Remember the pill box hat? What about the Charleston hat? You couldn't go dancing without dressing up in your fancy dress and put on your Victorian hat just made to do the Charleston. Lots of beads on the dresses as well on your velvet epaulet hat. Maybe you added a few feathers which were always a great finishing touch to your ensemble.
As the time changes, so did the hat styles. In the 60's some women turned to Retro Gray Woven Fedora hats. The fedora has light appearance. It provides an accessory but it doesn't overwhelm the overall look that the young woman has put together. It adds to touch of sophistication. Fedora come in all kinds of colors as well as velvet, straw, and heavy cloth. A fedora can be shaped to exhibit the personality of the woman who is wearing it.
If I sound like I am missing some of the styles of yesterday, I guess I am. It seems quite strange that an aging baby boomer would like to see women wear more attractive hats. Maybe it is because that today's dress many times doesn't leave a lot to the imagination and a return to years of some modesty adds an element of mystery to the woman sex appeal. Is she trying to tell me something with the hat? Is it saying she is available. I guess we will never know since a baseball cap pretty much tells me, I didn't have time to fix my hair or it is dirty so I am covering it up with a cap.

Does the term "tom" only remind you of "tomboy", or could you relate it to the "lesbian" in general?
My mother tongue is Italian but reading Sarah Waters' Tipping the Velvet, set in the Victorian era, I wondered if for the English speaker the slang "tom" for lesbian is understood or not
"Tom" refers to a cat in my head. I'd need the whole word - tomboi - to think of a woman. And a tomboi isn't always a lesbian.
