picture hat

Wide-brimmed headwear

A picture hat is a woman's wide-brimmed hat, often elaborately decorated with feathers, flowers, or ribbons.

The name comes from such hats appearing in 18th-century portraits.

Picture hats are dramatic and impractical—suited for garden parties, weddings, or horse races rather than everyday wear: She wore a picture hat to the Kentucky Derby.
