We kick off this week with a look back to March 1996 when then Crown Princess Masako stepped out in a berry suit and matching streamlined hat with slightly upturned brim. The saturated colour suited her particularly well, don’t you agree?

That color is so lovely on her!
I do agree; it’s a beautiful color on her.
Yes, gorgeious colour. I think of this style as quite typical of the Japanese royal family – classic conservative hat shapes, usually quite plain – so it certainly wouldn’t look out of place if worn again, and the colour gives it added vivacity.
“…gorgeous…” (I realised the typo as soon as I pressed send, and I don’t know how or even if one can edit comments.)
Bring this hat back with a modern outfit ASAP!
I do agree about the color, and also a style that suits her very well.
Lovely.
A beautiful colour on Princess Masako. The style of the hat and suit so reminiscent of the time.
