10. A Lady’s Hat
In 1900, it was very popular for women to wear hats. Simple berets were only a dollar, and fancy Sunday hats were roughly $3. Women would blush to imagine themselves showing up to Sunday service without one. Because of this, hats became a symbol of affluence. The bigger variety of hats a woman-owned, the more money her husband must make. Millinery shops were a staple part of every town in America. But as time went on, these became less and less popular.
