Easter bonnet

Springtime decorated hat

An Easter bonnet is a decorative hat worn to church on Easter Sunday, traditionally by women and girls.

The custom peaked in the early-to-mid 20th century, when Easter bonnets were often homemade and adorned with ribbons, flowers, and other spring motifs.

The term now evokes nostalgic images of Easter parades and springtime finery: She made the children Easter bonnets out of paper plates and plastic flowers.
