Menswear also influenced the women’s headwear, as is exemplified by this functional model. It does not correspond to the richly decorated bonnets mounted over wire by the milliner but was rather, like men’s hats, pressed over a mould with steam. Similar hats were also a component of women’s riding habits and were especially well loved in the beige-blue colour combination.
