The National Retail Federation says the average Easter celebrant will spend $26.11 on colorful apparel for Easter Sunday. The epitome of Easter fashion is the hat, particularly the elegant and creative designs worn by women to Easter church or luncheons. Designer Susan van der Linde and her eponymous New York boutique sell high-end hats costing $600 to $2,000 or more. Increasingly popular, she says, are the headpieces known as fascinators that are often worn by Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge.
