Veiled Enthusiasm

Mourning the loss of the Marc Jacobs collection? Instead of opting for a classic, all-black ensemble, consider showing your sorrow with a modern-day veil. This ladylike look, which the New York Times notes as "usually reserved for religious ceremonies, goth brides and Daphne Guinness," is sure to be a top trend this spring. Perhaps a slightly more subtle answer to the Royal Wedding’s famous fastener hats, veils may become a street-style sensation faster than you can say “fedora.”

But, before you go out and buy a Lady Gaga-esque full-face net, take a look at Stephen Jones’s fifties-style veiled beanies for Jil Sander for inspiration (pictured above in blue)—they're much more “sight to be seen” than “beekeeper.” This cap, which was shown in several colors on the Milan runway, will actually be produced and sold in stores next spring. Can’t wait that long? We won’t judge if you decide to swing by a bridal store.
