"Where were you today, pussy?" - " At the Queen's at the English"." What did you see at the court? "-" I saw a mouse on the carpet … " artsy women's hats … In our today's article - the strangest creatures of hat fashion that are put on the head of an Englishwoman in honor Royal horse racing in Ascot.
The town of Ascot, in Berkshire, is very small: only 11 thousand people live in it. And the most grandiose event in the life of this town - royal races … Back in 1711, under Queen Anne, court idlers and bored lords loved to gather in it in order to properly spur horses and dispel boredom. The event is still attended by the Queen of England herself and 300,000 tourists at the same time. Perhaps the event in terms of the intensity of passions is somewhat inferior to the great races we have described in Siena, Italy, but it has its own "trick". Rather, hat.
Yes exactly women's hats - a source of pride for women who visit Ascot for company with the queen. The dress code of the event is rather conservative: no miniskirts and bare bellies, even bare shoulders - and those are prohibited. There is only one outlet for the British women, accustomed to self-expression in fashion: the head. Women's hats, which can be seen during the races in Ascot, break all records of originality - even at the clothing festival in Alaska you will not see such exuberant imagination!
And on the third day of the race, which actually lasts five days, the culmination of the "head fashion" occurs: unusual women's hats going to the competition. This year's competition continues right now as you read these lines - if, of course, you do so on Thursday, June 16th. It is not yet known who will be the winner, but how difficult it is to hit the jury's imagination with his hat is clear from the photo.
The winner competition of women's hats in Ascot receives universal respect as a reward - this, of course, is not 3 million euros for winning the races, but also something! And most importantly, all the participants do it, according to them, in honor of the queen.
