After the success of monthly polls last year to narrow down our favourite new and repeated royal hats, we’re going to continue with this format again this year, merging together months we see less hats worn and taking multiple winners from busiest months. To kick off the first poll of 2017, we’re going to face off the ten repeated royal hats worn in January and February that, based on your comments, received the most positive reader reception.
Please click on each hat to link back to its original feature post with additional views and information. Here are these ten hats, shown in the order they were worn:
