The Baseball Uniform Story

In 1882 uniforms were accessorized with colored socks or stirrups that were used to differentiate one club or team from one another. The uniforms at the time showcased different colors and patterns to reflect the players position on the field.

In the late 1880s, the Detroit Wolverines, the Washington Nationals of the National League, and the Brooklyn Bridegrooms of the American Association were the first to wear striped uniforms.

The "Witches Hat"

Happy Halloween my fellow style historians! I thought this would be the perfect time to share the story of the witches hat. Have you wondered where the witches hat originated from?

I think the most intriuging fact is that this hat was born from folklore. There are stories about witches keeping organs inside of their hats and using for magical spells. Old Stories claim witches were only meant for evil and the hat was used to intensify their scary appearance. Good thing it's all fiction.
