I was wondering while you are wearing all these fabulous vintage outfits. Does your husband follow suit?
oooo, I think the white one would be lovely! I think a crinoline underneath and the hat would give a retro impression without being too too, if you know what I mean. Ya know, could pass at a modern function as well as at a themed retro function.Paul said:I was thinking of a hat in cream like this but I had a feeling it's too modern
also a little over the top for the dress I thinking
Alternatively take the accessories to a shade of brown, not dark, but enough to contrast.

I say white for day and black for evening. You look stunning, btw!ohairas said:Should I wear gloves with this knit outfit? If so, black or white?
We got my husband's fedora, I love it, a charcoal to go with his new black and grey suits. I ordered him another fedora for a gift in an almond shade.
I also found him some vintage pj's, and I had bought him a smoking robe last year.

I personally think that rule applies to all colors, not so much to neutrals like black, brown and navy.
But I wouldn't do white gloves, they will just look forlorn unless your hat has a lot of white. Plus they are a bear to keep clean, you need several pairs!
