Bicycle clip hat

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The bicycle clip hat was generally attached to the head using a metal spring.

A bicycle clip hat is a style of small hat or millinery decoration that includes a metal clip, similar to traditional designs used by cyclists, to hold it in place. It may be very similar to a half hat or fascinator in design, covering only part of the head.[1]

The term has also been used to describe a design of headband that became popular in the 1950s and 1960s.[2] This might be fabric attached to a piece of curved metal that held it firmly on the head.[3]

In the 1950s, the bicycle clip design was also incorporated into designs of chignon caps – a fabric covering designed to cover a bun at the back of the head.[4]
