Thank you both!  These sites will be incredibly helpful as I just bought an estate that is loaded with '60s and '70s clothing.

Here is a site that you can compare styles and eras on Women's Hats. There are a few Men's Hats also. Have fun.

It may be in French but this site will help in identifying fashionable fashions. You can translate if you have google toolbar.

Here's the comprehensive encyclopedia of exotic skin handbags that features top 24 mid-century handbag designer brands through 100 years of fashion history. Tons of info, pics of handbags and period ads to track the development of trends and features. The title is Exotic Skin: Alligator and Crocodile Handbags. You can buy it worldwide (Amazon, Internet vendors, bookstores). Here's the link to the website that is a snapshot of the book, from the inside, with some visuals:

It took about 10 years to complete this in-depth research. Hope it will be of use to the vintage fashion community!
