A Royal Hatting: Kate Middleton Dons the BC Hat


Just when we thought there were no words left with which to praise BC Hats, the darling Princess-to-be Kate Middleton is seen wearing none other than an original BC Hat. Actually, the photograph dates back to 2005 but it is such a fantastic find we had to share it with you.

Kate Middleton, graduate of University of St. Andrew's, was recently engaged to Prince William of Wales in October 2010 while on a trip with the Prince in East Africa. Heavily photographed since speculation of their relationship began at university, there is ample evidence of her style transformation from carefree bohemian to eclectic chic in adulthood. Middleton is often cited for her uniquely glamorous, classic English style. Who else has given great hats and head wear such fantastic exposure in recent years? Kate is almost always seen wearing stylish hats or fascinators no matter if she is attending a formal royal event or merely hunting pheasants in the sticks.

A healthy, smiling and bronzed Kate above demonstrates that the BC hat is not merely an object of utility but quite the fashion statement, too. Paired with pearls and a delicate blue sweater the rugged hat balances out the femininity of the outfit adding to Kate's fun, sporty demeanor. The quality construction of the BC hat looks just as fitting on the head of a royal-to-be as it does on adventurer in the Outback. With inspiration like this, where couldn't you wear your BC hat?
