17．Most of the time，people wear hats to protect themselves from harsh weather conditions．Hats are also worn to show politeness and as signs of social position．But nowadays，hats，especially women's hats，are much more than that．More exactly，hats have changed into fashion and style symbols by many movie stars．What's more，people now consider many different features （特点）when choosing even a simple hat．Many designers point out that，when choosing the right hat，it's important to consider the color of your skin as well as your hair，your height，and the shape of your face．

First of all，the color of the hat should match the color of your skin and hair．For instance，black hats should be avoided if you are dark skinned．If a purple hat is placed on top of red hair，one will look as attractive as a summer flower．Second，the height of the hat is also an important point．Tall women should not go for hats with tall crowns，just as short women should choose hats with upturned brims to give the look of height．Third，and most importantly，the shape of the face decides the kind of hat one should pick．A small，gentle hat that fits the head looks good on a small face．However，women with big，round faces should choose a different style．

As the saying goes，"Fine feathers make fine birds．"A good hat can not only help your dress but also support your features，so why not choose the best possible one next time you want to be in public？

4．The majority of Indian women wear a red dot （圆点） between their eyebrows．While it is generally taken as an indicator of their marital （婚姻的） status，the practice is primarily related to the Hindu religion．The dot goes by different names in different Hindi dialects，and"bindi"is the one that is most commonly known．Traditionally，the dot carries no gender restriction：Men as well as women wear it．However，the tradition of men wearing it has faded in recent times，so nowadays we see a lot more women than men wearing one．
The position of the bindi is standard：center of the forehead，close to the eyebrows．It represents a third，or inner eye．Hindu tradition holds that all people have three eyes：The two outer ones are used for seeing the outside world，and the third one is there to focus inward toward God．As such，the dot serves as a constant reminder to keep God in the front of a believer's thoughts．
Red is the traditional color of the dot．It is said that in ancient times a man would place a drop of blood between his wife's eyes to seal their marriage．According to Hindu beliefs，the color red is believed to bring good fortune to the married couple．Today，people go with different colors depending upon their preferences．Women often wear dots that match the color of their clothes．Decorative or sticker bindis come in all sizes，colors and variations，and can be worn by young and old，married and unmarried people alike．Wearing a bindi has become more of a fashion statement than a religious custom．
