Notes On: Hats

The hat is a fickle garment. It can just as easily ruin an outfit as it can make one. It can define your mood, your personality or even your job. There are rules about hats at dinner or during the National Anthem. Hats can be iconic like Faye's beret in Bonnie&Clyde or Harrison's hat in Indiana Jones. Hats can even affect one's level of attractiveness. I once dated a boy whom I was only attracted to when he was wearing a backwards baseball cap. I can't think of any other accessory that affects the wearer (or the gawker) quite as much.

Other than a brief cowboy hat phase in the fourth grade, I have never considered myself to be a "hat person." But that hasn't stopped me from being fascinated by them. It's a mystery to me that something so simple can instantly cause a specific reaction or behavior. For instance, yesterday I put on a Temperley cable knit beret that was given to me years ago. I asked my sister if I looked stupid in it and her reply was, "No, you look totally Parisian!" I was beyond ecstatic. I immediately went out for a tiny cup of coffee and had to stop myself from purchasing a pack of Parliament Lights just so I could carry around cigs all day.

Whether you're a hat person or not, there's actually a pretty fantastic selection out there for Fall/Winter 2009. My picks are:

Nobis Madison Hat $50 available at Atticus Shop
Nobis Isabella Hat $135 (Atticus re-order expected soon!)
Nobis Lucifer Hat $39 available at Atticus Shop
Eugenia Kim Woomi Earflap cap $188 available at Shopbop
Canada Goose Aviator Hat $145 available at Context Clothing

The Justification: We Heart Nobis


Nobis Dakota Neckwarmer in Gunmetal

Justification #1: I don't know about you, but us Wild girls are huge fans of wearing vintage gear while snowmobliling-from Grandma's 1970's John Deere snowmobile suit to the blue and pink sparkly helmets we wore as children. Nobis has designed these neckwarmers that rival Mama Wild's homemade originals (and we'll even volunteer to wear them while walking in the city, not just playing in the country)!

Justification #2: Even if you're not already daydreaming about staying
cozy while having some winter fun,
neckwarmers are perfect for frolicking through orange and red leaves on cool fall days.

Justification #3: These neckwarmers also double as some sort of updated headband your mom used to make you wear in the winter. They're a lot cooler than those though.



Lucifer hat in Gunmetal

Justification #1: This hand-knit floppy beanie is sure to keep you warm when no one's around to cozy up with you.

Justification #2: Atticus girls like boys in hats!

Nobis merchandise will be available online within the week. If you can't wait that long because you're as obsessed as we are or oh so cold already, call us (608.204.9001) or stop in!
