Women in Bowlers

[RBH]

I believe you are right Bull... except maybe for Stymie.

I have already decided - women look better in bowlers than men

more to the point: women look better than men.

As Brad noted above.
Also, they are fashionable in the Andes regions of S. America.

They look a bit small on theses folks.

Does it really matter.

Outstanding observation. Fun thread.

Yep... they sit way to high above the ears.

I think women look great in Bowlers. Apparently bowlers been showing up quite frequently in high fashion on women and men recently. Radiohead's lead singer is wearing one in their newest music video. Haven't seen any around Toronto, though, except at New Years and Nuite Blanche.

Women wearing bowlers on a regular basis was spurred on by the sexual freedom and experimentation that existed in the 1920s. Men and women started experimenting with different clothes and such. Men tried lipstick, women wore suits and trousers, and so forth.

It brings to mind that old song from '26...

Masculine women, feminine men,
Which is the rooster, which is the hen?
It's hard to tell'em apart today, and say,

Sister is busy, learning to shave!
Brother just loves his permanent wave!...

Keira Knightly couldn't even be masculine in Bend it Like Beckham.

Come to think of it, not even in Domino, where she played a bounty hunter. Bad screenplay on this movie, really bad soundtrack, and really disjointed style (Tony Scott's follow up to Man on Fire). But a chance to see "more" of Keira Knightly.

+1. I don't normally use the +1, but it definitely seems appropriate here.

Love this image

My favorite in this thread. The enormous buttons on the coat are a nice touch. It would be even better if she were actually looking through the monocle.

I'd loan her my bowler any day!
