As the season turns from winter to spring, people celebrate by showcasing their finest attire, with hats being a necessary accessory. The tradition of wearing hats during Easter may have started back in the Dutch days, when churchgoers would parade in their best clothes along the streets surrounding fashionable churches. When the British arrived, the tradition continued around Trinity Church in lower Manhattan.
