An excellent read for you fashionistas. It looks at the slow but clear way trends (particularly fashion) develop and change, with the decline of male headgear as the main focus.

I read this several years ago - it's an interesting look at the changes in society that went along with men no longer wearing hats. Perhaps "thought provoking" is too strong but the writing is engaging and the anecdotes and examples flow well. Kennedy is at the center but it isn't much about Kennedy, really, but post-WW II America.
