The Red Hat Society encourages all women of 50 and over to wear a red hat and purple clothes - inspired by the poem Warning by Jenny Joseph, which describes an older woman in purple clothing with a red hat. If you're under 50, restraint is requested:
'We suggest rather strongly that women under 50 stick to the pink hat and lavender attire until THE BIRTHDAY. This adds an element of fun to aging, which we think is invaluable to women in our society who have learned to dread aging and avoid it at all costs. We believe that aging should be something anticipated with excitement, not something to dread.'
