feathered hats

Millinery with plumes

Feathered hats are hats decorated with feathers, historically associated with elaborate fashion and social display.

The plumage trade for such hats drove several bird species toward extinction in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, prompting early conservation movements.

Today feathered hats appear mainly at formal events like horse races and royal weddings: She wore an extravagant feathered hat to the Kentucky Derby.
