Bicycle clip hat

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

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 cap – a fabric covering designed to cover a bun at the back of the head.^[4]
