Princess Hisako, who is the Honorary President of Japan Football Association, presented the 36th Empress’s Cup at the All-Japan Women’s Soccer Championship on January 1. To conduct this honor, Princess Hisako repeated a brown tweed hat with flat crown and wide fur brim. She wore this hat to this same event two years ago- you can see a better view of it from this photo taken then.

Over the past month, we have looked back at all the hats, headpieces, fascinators and fouffs that graced royal heads in 2014. After much discussion, the time has come, dearest readers, to offer your nominations. We will nominate hats in the following three categories:
Please make your nominations in THIS POST (please repost them here if you posted them already elsewhere) by clearly naming the person who wore the hat, the number of the hat as it appeared in the review post, and why it has received your nomination. I will add thumbnail pictures to your post so everyone can see the hats you nominate. To reign in this discussion, I’m going to limit your nominations to just 5 in each category.
Here are links back to all of the previous review posts:
British Royal Hats Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, and Part 4

Nominations will remain open until next Wednesday, January 7; on Thursday, polls for each category will open for you to vote. Only hats with the most nominations will move forward into the poll so make sure to put your nominations forward here in a comment!
