    The hat is not for the street: it will never be democratized. But there are certain houses that one cannot enter without a hat. And one must always wear a hat when lunching with people whom one does not know well. One appears to one’s best advantage.
    —Coco Chanel (1883–1971)

    Mary Wortley, Lady Montagu (1689–1762)
