Gladys Skinner at the City Market

By JEN CHEN

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: I love it when women wear hats out in public. One of my dreams in life is to buy a really outlandish hat in London to wear to some quintessential British event, like this. Or a more laid-back hat for an occasion like this. Until we Americans adopt a hatcentric culture, though, I’ll just enjoy the random hat sightings around town. Like the lovely green number pictured above, atop Gladys Skinner’s head.
