Canada The climate in Canada ranges from hot, sunny, humid summers to freezing, dry, cold winters. The majority of hats and caps are casually worn for environmental protection. When it comes to wearing head dress for special occasions, irregardless of the weather, only a few cultures follow their customs (in whole or in part) and dress accordingly. Within one culture, every generation of children traditionally learns about wearing dress hats and the general etiquette of how to dress for complete social acceptance . For other cultures, this begins when the bride seeks out information about headpieces to wear and what kinds of veils will suit her vision of her dress and wedding ceremony. During the planning of the marrriage, she incidentally acquires a sense of where the wearing of a formal hat or a fashion hat fits in. Anyone following the international world of fashion, at the beginning of this century, can see that the household 'name' couturier is unable to include saleable dress hats in his or her collection because of marketing techniques for profit. Even the celebrated hairdressers are beginning to recognize this and to include shades of casual millinery into their showbusiness portfolios as they approach the limitations of mass publically acceptable hairstyles. Read the latest news about haute couture hats . For many Canadians, both men's and women's dress hats are relegated to the arts and entertainment of our society. The effect is to produce few business hatters or milliners and many hobbyists; a moving away from underpinnings of the etiquette of dress which enhances self-esteem beyond sitting idily under the illusionary umbrella of name brand identification. Today's hobbyist is the backbone of keeping alive the traditional methods of the dress headwear trade. Another way of appreciating dress hats is to visit the web sites of the hat makers and get a sense of another cultures' lifestyle. Hats in Society & Culture < Canada From the Atelier
