Melania Trump's latest white hat evokes colonialist comparisonNo, you imbeciles. Hats make sense in many locations, and the location often determines which hat you wear. The sun in equatorial Africa is murderous. You want a hat that is lightweight, light colored, and stands off the head. You want air to be able to circulate between the hat and the head, and you want that hat to be white, to reflect the sun.
I think that the hat is stylish, practical, and more importantly, I think that she is rocking it. The pith hat makes perfect sense in that location, which is why it's been worn there for a hundred years or more.
But, the media losers gotta lose, and haters gotta hate.
That is a standard Pith Helmet. Very practical, very standard. In Shade 1505 (kakhi), it was part of a Class 5 Tropical uniform for the USAF until 1970 or so.
