<p>Greer, I was taught that out of respect men were to take their hats off inside as well.  I have to admit, it bothers men, when they don't remove their hats.  When I see a man who removes his hat when he steps in the door, whether it is work hat or dress hat, he scores points with me. </p>

<p>I was taught the same thing!  I do love winter white however.  A beautiful winter white felt hat worn with red or green at Christmas is beautiful, in my opinion.</p> <p> </p>

<p>Hi GREER,<br/>Winter white is fine but not WHITE.  I wear ivy, egg shell, beige and Winter White in the Winter, but I'm still stuck in a time warp and one of tradition.</p>

<p>Is anyone watching *Boardwalk Empire*?  Every episode contains many beautiful hats from the 1920s.  To me it is strange to see men wearing straw boaters while wearing a three-piece suits (with wingtip shoes) while walking on the beach.  The straw hat seems so casual and summery, while the wool suit seems wintery and formal.  Now, I like a summer suit and a boater - striped seersucker with a straw boater!  </p>
