What to Expect
The Central Park Conservancy Hat Luncheon is where New York City’s most fabulous ladies gather for a fun, elegant event with millinery of the highest order. This afternoon luncheon, known as “The Hat Lunch” raises money for the upkeep of Central Park. It is a social highlight and centers on floral themes for hats and fascinators.
When attending you will want to look elegant and put together. However, this gorgeous party is more about the headgear than the dress. Choose a feminine, conservative, and simple look: a lovely suit, floral dress, or shift with jacket in neutrals or pale pastels. You don’t generally see a vamp look, black, or dark colors. The champagne is flowing, the tables smell amazing, and the gardens are miraculous. Hats and fascinators are often covered with flowers, but some attendees choose hats with natural elements such as trees, leaves, or beehives.
Hat or Fascinator?
At Lisa Shaub Fine Millinery we sell more fascinators to attendees of CPCL. Our fascinators are extremely light and comfortable. Both elegant and flattering, they cast a minimum shadows, which is important when being photographed.
Attending the CPCL with clients or as the guest of a VIP?
If you are concerned about being appropriate, we can help you select a fascinator that feels comfortable in size and is not too large. Do remember that many women will be wearing hats that are more elaborate and over the top. That’s OK, you be comfortable! When you are comfortable, you are sexy! If you want to really go for it, and we think that you should, this is the day for it. Follow a flower theme, choose pale colors and you will look gorgeous.
Extra
Get there early for the garden tours. Gardeners have been working round the clock for months to ensure that the trees and flowers are looking their most splendid. It is fun and inspiring to see how gorgeous Central Park can be. You will not see this again for another year. Bring a wrap for temperamental Spring weather that can sometimes be cool. Enjoy your time, and your company!
