An Easter bonnet is any fancy hat worn on Easter Sunday. Usually covered in pastel spring flowers and leaves and made of bright, pastel-colored materials.
Easter bonnets are worn to Easter church services and to Easter parades.
The tradition of buying and wearing a new Easter hat at the end of Lent goes back centuries.
