Plumage and Feathers
Feathers were very popular, and the feathers of many feathered friends became the fashionable hair and hat adornment. This particularly gained momentum in the second half of the decade, taking over from the ribbons and flowers.
Ostrich, bird-of-paradise and the tufted plume of the egret (called an aigrette) were all the rage and often worn in huge and luxurious quantities. Sometimes the whole bird would be strategically placed as a dive-bombing hat decoration.
