As part of London Hat Week, this annual event is just a chance to parade around town showing off your finest titfer in the company of likeminded petasophiles.* For the first time the event will be happening simultaneously in more than one location in the world—so far there are 16 hat walks signed up, in Taiwan, Romania, Oslo, Barcelona, the US, four cities in Australia and more. So it is really a World Hat Walk this time.
Watch this space for more details, or indeed www.londonhatweek.com, where you’ll doubtless hear it first.
Dress Code: Headwear eye-catching enough to stop traffic!
*OK, I made that up, from the Greek petasos, a specific kind of broad-brimmed felt hat worn in the ancient world.
