The hats were back out at the Easter Parade and Bonnet Festival in New York City on Sunday. Up and down Fifth Avenue in Midtown, spectators and Easter revelers alike were treated to a crowd wearing the most colorful costumes, and Sunday best, imaginable.
The notable looks were plenty, from many variations of bunny to botanical confections and great sartorial tailoring harking back to the Jazz Age. And though there were also some elements of steam punk here and there, this year’s edition of the parade was light on genre concepts such as science fiction and fantasy. Overall, the day was a perfect bookend to a weekend of some incredible weather and summerlike vibes that permeated throughout the city.
