The Different Kinds Of Exotic Hats Today

By Charles Murray


Aside from technology advancing nowadays, also our clothing style is advancing. Each decade represents a certain kind of clothing style. In the seventies, the hippies wore those pants that widens at the end and have those flower crowns. For the eighties, parachute pants, jean jackets and high top shoes were the trend. Nineties had a baggy outfit like having large shirts. It has all evolved including our head pieces. So let us take a look on the exotic hats in the future, present and past.

Even though we have advanced, the purpose of a head piece is still to protect our heads from rays of the sun and prevent it from getting wet by sudden rain showers. But not all the time we wear these because of that purpose. Sometimes we wear them just because we feel like wearing them and that it matches with our clothes and shoes.

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.

If you have seen the movie Anastasia and heard the song entitled Paris holds the key to your heart, one would immediately think of how a French would look like. They would usually envision them to have striped shirts whether it be long sleeves or short, a handkerchief placed around the neck and a beret, those round hats. Even Jazz people wear those along with their circular shades.

A typical Asian top piece is those that have a cone shape. What makes them unique from the beret and fedora is the material that is used. Asian cone hats are usually made up of straw because that is what is being harvested there in their country.

Religion might be a reason to why one is wearing a certain top piece instead of fashion. These are the turbans for Muslim men and the Hijab for Muslim women. They are sacred practices in generations in their country. They are used to cover, protect what they think should not be exposed.

These are just a few head gears out of a hundred more. We have the sombreros from Mexico, Ushanka in the northern continent like Russia, kufi worn by Africans, the Tams by dreadlocked people, the famous bowler of Charlie Chaplin, war bonnets of the Native Americans, the fez from Middle East and many more. They all have their specific purpose.

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.
