I recently suggested here that the Japanese are completely mental (and got no argument whatsoever I might add). In all fairness, my own ancestral peeps can be pretty daft. In England, the Royal Ascot meeting is the racing and social event of the summer, and hats are a really big deal.
According to the Royal Ascot dress code, “hats or a substantial fascinator must be worn in the Royal Enclosure” but even those who are not in the Royal Enclosure take an opportunity to wear a hat.
I think it’s safe to say my ancestors were not inside the enclosure fascinating anybody. Complete slide show at NYT Sunday Style.
