Easter millinery brings a variety of styles from dainty daisies and tiny toques to calots and skullcaps. High fashion designers offer veiled bonnets, velvet ribbons, and lightweight straws in colors from white to bold reds, catering to both youthful and mature faces.
Fashion notes describe spring coats from American designers with new silhouettes, such as back pleats, concave waists, and ripple skirts. Casual motor coats feature large saddle pockets, low placement, and boxy lines, while feminine details avoid a masculine look with tailored reefer styles remaining popular.
The trend centers on wearable hues of red blue and violet with ample white, while classic black and navy remain smart. The cloche returns in felt with or without ribbon, worn with suits coats and dresses in many colors and sizes for a feminine Easter charm.
