I've bought this dress www.warehouse.co.uk/ditsy-guaged-wrap-dress/dresses/warehouse/fcp-product/4543080299 for a religious occasion that requires me to wear a hat. I think a trilby type hat would suit me but I can't find any black, purple or cream ones. Also need a cardigan and some shoes that I can walk in (so no skyscraper heels).

Please can you help me?

You can get a black fedora on Amazon for £17.95 - any good?

I like the shape of the dress but I can't really tell what colour it is from the website - is it more purpley, or rusty red?

For a religious occasion (I assume it's not a wedding) I'd not want to scare the horses and would probably just throw on a black cardi and black heels (I have some v similar to these which are very walkable).

Just thinking that maybe black is too severe/boring - if the dress is rusty reddish you could try an ochre or brick coloured cardi maybe? And if it's more purple you could try plum coloured tights and black heels.

It's more purpley than red which is a shame as I've seen a couple of burgundy red hats.

I like those shoes, especially the heel height but was hoping for nude ones. Any ideas?

How about these? Or these?

Thanks Xiaoxiong. The M&S ones look good. I saw some in HoF as well that I will try on.
