I love it! And Perfectly coordinated with the outfit. What a riot. You
gotta give these women an A+ for their fashion efforts. Any chance we can
get one of those in tin foil?

Have you ever seen a catalog for African American women? Many many
have hats that come with the suit and are part of the ensemble. I
think a group of black women in hats like this and dressed to match
looks like a lovely bouquet of flowers. That said, would I wear one?

If you go to most churches with a large black population
you will see some gorgeous hats, most of them custom made
and most quite large and showy. Those ladies take their
hats seriously and look stunning.

Here's a page from the catalog Midnight Velvet. They show the hats
with the suits.

I remember when wearing gloves and hats were part of a proper
ensemble.

Why not? Aretha Franklin wore that weird hat to Obama's inauguration.
She's hardly tall and slender

BTW the Smithsonian Institution has requested the hat for display.

The African women in London also wore those wonderfully complicated
folded and twisted headcloths (gele), often matching their tops and
skirts.

You too? How old fashioned! I feel positively retro when I put on
gloves just to fight the cold.
