Personally, I think it depends, same with when guys wear durags in public. I remember on the first day of school when people had newly joined my school’s sixth form and there were guys wearing durags with *suits* on their first day of school. In such settings maybe switch the bonnet for a scarf/head-wrap kind of thing. If you’re just going to the supermarket I don’t see any problem. Side-note: I was watching a yt video earlier today and a group of black girls were talking about their experience at Cambridge. They were saying that they could get away with wearing a bonnet around because people thought it was a beret. People were complementing them on their ‘new hat’, I thought that was kind of funny

Lmao, yeah, I meant in public as in, not in specific settings where you’d need to be wearing formal attire. I mean like just in public, like going out to the supermarket or just walking around in town in your free time etc.

If you want to look ridiculous then go right ahead.

That’s super offensive to WoC.

rather inconsequential matter

Well today I learnt there are different types of bonnet (I was wondering how satin would hold that stereotypical Victorian bonnet shape!) - I can't see a problem with wearing a satin bonnet in public though, they look fine
