Cognitive article. Thank you. I like it when ladies wear original headgear. I'm shy in experiments with headdresses, although internally there is a desire to go out not in a standard cap, and eh. .. not enough spirit.
I do not like hats at all and I do not wear them, but it was useful to read about them. After all, there are people who wear them without taking off. I wonder what motivates them?
