What colour hat and gloves for in-hand showing?

Thank you for your reply Elly but is a black hat correct? A friend said black is never correct?! I'm so confused! Do you think i'd be better going for a navy waistcoat with navy hat? Or will that look odd with black trousers?
 
I wear a black hat - looking to get a navy one for next season.
I wear green tweed, black trousers black hat and brown gloves and dont think it looks odd!
I used to wear my blue waistcoat with black trousers too!
 
Black is not correct for showing unless you are a man. Black gloves are not correct for either men or women (originally meant you were in mourning). Navy would be a better look for you. I normally wear a green tweed jacket, navy hat, brown gloves and khaki trousers.
 
TBH I think it is a case of what goes the best and gives the better overall picture.

For me personally, if you are showing the Iberian in your avatar then I'd go down the blue route with brown gloves - if you already have the kit, if you don't then the black will be fine, but whichever you choose make sure you have a nice tie that complements but is neither too loud or too pale :)
