First stop The Hat Box located on the gallery level of the beautiful heritage-listed Brisbane Arcade. High fashion, head turning one-off pieces are gathered from a select group of the finest milliners from around Australia. Custom made or off the hook, The Hat Box can make your hat dream a reality, and for the boys a recent addition to the men's range of fedoras and felts are genuine panamas from Equador!
This is my personal favourite. The bold colour will definitely have you noticed in the crowd!
The Hat Box have provided hats for Bora, Grbac, Pia du Pradal, Tengdahl, et al and were even included in a stand alone parade in the 2008 Mercedes Benz Fashion Festival in Brisbane.Helping to make the show look so good were the gorgeous cocktail frocks supplied by The Mask at the Broadway on the Mall in Queen Street Brisbane.

Make sure your clothes fit perfectly. Your pant hem should hang straight down to the point where it starts to cover the heel of your shoe. If bold colours aren’t your thing, stick to the classics black, white, navy and grey. Accessorize with a great pair of shoes, a belt and cufflinks and don’t be afraid to wear a hat!
