A popular head gear in the 1920s, cloche hat is a fitting hat designed with a soft brim and to be worn low. A properly designed cloche hat would require a user to raise her chin, tilt her head, and even gaze down her nose for her to be aware of the road she is walking on – a posture usually relaying a haughty, proud, and arrogant look. Made popular in the 1920s, the cloche hat had been attempted to be resurrected in the late 90s through a series of paparazzi-avoiding stars.
“Cloche” is a French word for “bell” from which the hat takes close inspiration from. The bulk of materials in the production of a cloche hat are provided for to form the body and immensely highlight the height of the hat. Usually used to accentuate and adorn the floppy and even flamboyant brim are brooch, ribbons, and other types of accessories which could be further customized and be uniquely worn according to the preference of the wearer. The popularity of the cloche hat in the late 1920s had signaled an evolution in the clothing requirement of the women. From being closely conservative and traditional, women in the 1920s had started to wear casual and sporty garments. Usually light in materials, the fashion that had sprawled together with cloche hat had allowed women to be carefree and to enjoy summer and outdoor events.
To enjoy this type of carefree and relaxed ensemble, any local hat store could provide a customized cloche hat that would fit your head and not of others. To get the right size, the store should get your exact head measurement and assure that such process would produce a tight fit to your head.

One of misconceptions in women’s accessories is in the concept and use of the word “cashmere”. Prized for its softness and its ability to insulate, cashmere is a type of fiber that is used to produce and manufacture expensive sweaters, scarves, and even hats. Cashmere as a type of fiber is sourced from Kashmir, an area in Area, known for cashmere goats. As British colonized Kashmir, traders and merchants export this type of fiber and had started the demand for cashmere among upper class families and in fashion houses. The cost of exporting and the labor necessary to produce cashmere and the demand among upper echelons of the society had lead to the escalation of prices of cashmere.
Cashmere is extensively popular to produce high quality sweaters and scarves that are in demand in highland and cold areas. Majority of cashmere today is produced in parts of China and Mongolia, and in particular those goats that are specifically raised in Gobi Dessert. Because of its soft and pale hair, cashmere coming from this part of the globe are dyed in accommodate color and fashion demands. Those that are produced in Iran, India, and Turkey are paid for mostly half of the costs of those that are in Gobi Dessert as goat hair from these countries are gray and stiffer.
Cashmeres, if well taken cared of, could last for years and is highly durable. Cashmere should be washed by hand with mild soap. To dry, it is recommended that cashmere should be patted off with a dry towel before laying it to dry.

History dictates that cardigan emerged in the 17th century France, and in particular the British Isles, as fishermen use heavy and hand woven or knitted wool sweaters to protect them from the harsh cold wind and winter. Cardigan, also known as fishermen’s sweater, is also used by workers in the coast of Ireland because of its warmness and its ability to insulation. Today, cardigan is known for its casual appeal and is commonly used as a form of sweater that is open in the front and is sewn with buttons or hooks.
Cardigan today is made from mostly any type of fabric with styles accommodating both men and women fashion and style. Some fabrics from which cardigan are made from are nylon, polyester, and cotton. Those that are specifically made for women have varieties which would perfectly fit an ensemble for casual occasions. Cardigan for women not only has wide range in colors but in style – as some are made with collars and even bejeweled with pearl buttons. Deemed as inappropriate, cardigan is never worn with formal dresses and in formal parties. Used mostly with knee-length dresses, cardigan is used primarily to top dressy occasions such as tea, garden, and even shower parties. Most women would use cardigan as jackets that would warm them on chilly and windy days, fashion had necessitated the evolution of this kind of clothing accessory to use zipper and even snaps for convenient and easy closing up. Work office setting had encouraged women to wear cardigans as jacket to top off sleeveless dress and even blouses giving them the polished and professional look that are made popular in the 50s.
