Fashion industry has been booming over the past years. There are countless of brands that are popping out in stores, malls and even on the streets. One example of a famous brand is Prada. They even had a movie called the Devil Wears Prada. However, it does not just revolve in the clothes that we wear but also our accessories and shoes. It also revolves on the different kinds of exotic hats that we wear today.
The purpose of these before this fashion industry boomed was to cover the top of our heads from rainfall to avoid getting it wet and from the sun and its heat. But now, these items are not even serving that purpose anymore. They are used to be part of a fashion statement. You have probably seen a baseball cap worn the other way, an example of not being used properly.
Exotic means that it is originated from a foreign country. This is usually described on the different kinds of food we eat that are not common or even the kinds of plants we grow having trouble adapting to its environment. This word literally means that it is unusual and can spark an interest to a certain individual.
The fedora is one kind that is worn by a lot of people nowadays. This is worn either to formal or even in formal occasions. This kind has a soft brim or felt and has an indented crown. You might want to see the signature head gear of Frank Sinatra. That is how a fedora looks like.
When you ask a child to draw a French person, they would either draw him carrying French bread or the typical clothes that they wear. The typical look is a handkerchief on the neck, long sleeved shirt with stripes as a design and the beret. The beret is that round shaped cap usually black and has a short vertical object sticking out at the center.
Now let us go to the Asian part of the world with the cone shape head pieces. Unlike a fedora and beret, this is made out of straw because it is what they harvest. Although there is another kind called the straw cap but the shape of this is what makes it unique.
Other than a fashion statement, what we wear on our heads might have to do with our religion as well. Moreover, those are the turbans or the Hijab for the Muslims. These though are more cloth like than being the traditional uses. These are made of either cotton or silk. And its purpose is for sacred protection.
Getting to know all these head gear is like having a trip around the world. Middle East has the fez, Native Americans have those feather material known as the war bonnet, Charlie Chaplin and his famous top which is a bowler, hand knitted for dreadlocks called tam, an African kufi, the furry top in Russia named Ushanka, fun looking sombreros by our Mexican friends and a whole lot more. Each piece is a different style from another place.
So when you start travelling, you might want to get yourself those as a souvenir. And when you do finally own one, you can show it off to people as proof you actually did go to their place. A head piece of yours can tell a long story and a good conversation starter.
