If you’re going to wear a spectacular topper this spring, one ingredient is a must: “hat-titude.” At the hat shop Tops of Old Town in Alexandria, Sheila Mitchell and her mother, Willie Mae Mitchell, have been busy helping customers find hats for Easter, the Kentucky Derby and the Virginia Gold Cup Race. Here, a few that stand out.
Clockwise from top left: This polka-dotted topper ($95) has an adjustable band to fit the wearer’s head; the floppy pink hat ($86) is eight inches from the edge of the brim to the base; the green hat ($95) is made of a natural straw called sinamay, spun from banana plant fibers.
