Red Mini Top Hat With Veil

The red mini top hat with veil is a small red glitter hat on a black headband, with a black bow and a short net veil.

The hat evokes the atmosphere of the circus ring, where red, black and shine come together in the ringmaster's outfit. For women who want to create a circus ringmistress look, it is a compact alternative to a full-sized hat, as you simply put it on like a headband.

Glitter, bow and veil in detail

• The crown and the small brim are covered in red glitter, and along the top and bottom edges runs a narrow trim of black sequins.
• Around the base of the hat is a black bow with long, loose ribbons.
• A veil of black net falls down one side across your forehead and hair.
• The hat sits at an angle on a narrow black headband, so it rests on the side of your head.
• The material is 90% polyester and 10% polyethylene.
• According to the washing instructions, you must not wash, bleach, iron, dry clean or tumble dry the hat.

Why does a red mini hat fit a circus look so well?

A red mini hat directly refers to the ringmaster, who in the classic circus wears a hat and a red coat while announcing the acts. The small version on a headband comes from the cabaret and burlesque world, where women wear a small hat at an angle as an ornamental piece instead of as a real hat. Thanks to that combination of circus red and a black veil, this hat suits both a playful circus ringmistress and a darker show look.

Wearing the glitter hat at a circus party or during carnival

At a circus party, you complete the ringmistress look with a red jacket, black gloves and a whip or microphone as a prop. If you are marching in a parade during carnival, choose a hairstyle in which the headband stays firmly in place, so that the hat remains at an angle. For an evening party, the red stands out even more against dark hair or a black bob wig.

Choose the red mini top hat with veil and your circus ringmistress will immediately have her recognizable headpiece.
