Hats

Generally hats began to lose popularity in the fifties because they were unsuitable for the new hairstyles. Women spent more time at the hair salon and the last thing they wanted to do was spoil their latest hairdo with a hat.

Hats that were popular included beret varieties and also knitted hats with tassels or pom-poms

Toward the end of the decade men started wearing hats less and less but before then the felt fedora was huge for men.
