Prince Hitachi and Princess Hanako of Japan visited a children’s invention club exhibition at Shiga Prefecture Gymnasium yesterday and today in Ōtsu, Shiga, Japan. Both days, Princess Hanako wore a cream wool bowler style hat with large wool bow at the front of the hat. I though the hat was great (and quite a departure for a member of the Imperial Royal Family) but I am not convinced it was the right hat to pair with her black and pea green suit jacket.


Today, Hanako paired this hat with what looks to be a chocolate brown suit. The colour is not exciting but I think it is better hue for this hat. What do you think?

It looks like the color of her hat matches the color of her brooch.
Its hard to have something completely ‘optimum.’ The colours still work well together.
I like the hat. If the green of her suit jacket was the same color as the hat, this outfit would have been perfection.
