Hats and Leggings

Hello Reader,

What do you think of wide-brim hats? Obviously I am partial to them, but are they becoming more popular? Some very 1970's-esque hats are making appearances where I live, and I have to say they are really cute. Not enough wide-brim hats, for my taste, but perhaps in the future?

Leggings. Leggings can be great for a really cold climate, but if worn incorrectly, they can be, ah, um, most unflattering. After I asked many of my friends and acquaintances for input on this issue, almost all of them stated these legging-wearing rules:
1. Mid-calf leggings with sneakers or other short-topped shoes are a no-no (unless you are in the gym).
2. Tall Boots make it all good (when you wear a skirt or dress as well).
3. Sheer, translucent or see-through stockings DO NOT count as opaque leggings; wearing just stockings and a longish shirt means you are almost naked. I had the misfortune of seeing a girl with translucent stockings and a long t-shirt which barely covered her you-know-what. *Gags*
4. Try to stay away from iffy prints.
