The 20 best bonnet Instagrams from the Easter Parade

The Easter Parade and Bonnet Festival is a standout on the list of things to do on Easter in NYC, and this Sunday, photos of its blossoming bonnets and over-the-top outfits stole the focus from best brunch on Instagram. (Don’t worry, brunch, we still love you.) Originating in the 1870s, the parade runs down Fifth Avenue past St. Patrick’s Cathedral, with participants decked out in classy fascinators, NYC-themed costumes and accessories from candy stores that land right in our sweet spot. So for the holiday celebrating the presence of Cadbury Eggs, er, the resurrection of Christ, we rounded up the 20 best NYC Instagrams of bonnets from the parade. Happy Easter, peeps!
