Is a man wearing a durag in public the same as a woman wearing a bonnet?

[CreepyMcCreeperson]

Both have a purpose of maintaining hair while sleeping, but so many men wear them as fashion statements.

But is wearing a durag just as ratchet as wearing a bonnet?

How long is the cape on the back?

 

[Luke Cage]

yes

unless the woman is a stud, then wearing a durag is the same as her wearing a durag

Thread instantly reminded me of 50 and Jay Z wearing durags in public years ago, can't recall a female celebrity ever wearing a bonnet in public.

Durags were supposed to be used to wave up (at night). At least in my era.

Tacky to wear during the day, and in public.

I'm not sure what my take is on bonnets, because women in my parents' culture and generation wear Mare tèt in public. Not the younger women, though. People from Gulf region of this country might be familiar with what I'm saying, and I would be interested in knowing whether y'all see a difference.

its crazy how petty people are with fashion faux pas. I'm convinced there are people out there who would happily make it against the law for women to wear bonnets in public, if they could
like cacs doing with masks right now.

 

[Neuromancer]

Yes.

Wearing a bonnet outside is literally like wearing a shower cap outside. There is no reason for it. Just put on a hat or a cute wrap.

Hell, last time I took my braids down I wrapped my hair like Badu and ran some errands before getting my hair done. It was cute.
