Fashion Discussion: Should Black Women Wear Bonnets in the Airport? Monique Speaks Out

Posted by

Black women’s hair is their crown and glory, and many of us protect it all all costs and in all spaces–even in public or at the airport.

Comedian and ‘Auntie’ Monique took to Instagram recently to speak out against this practice, urging young black women to take pride in their appearance and carry themselves like “Queens.” Read more below:

Adhering to the politics of respectability,  which was first used in the context of Black women and their efforts to distance themselves from the stereotypical and disrespected tropes of being lower class or unkempt, Monique’s take is pretty old school. In fact, because blacks were historically so often discriminated against by the majority, they were urged to prove their humanity by going over and above in presenting a polished exterior. If the world assumed they were ‘less than,’ they were going to overcompensate, and show that they were more.

The need for many of us to overcompensate and overdress persists to this day, with African-American stars arguably sporting more labels, gold chains, and lace fronts than their counterparts. However, it seems that some of the younger generation no longer care about what the outside world may think. @_Topanga said, “My thing will always be: we were getting lynched, shot, beat, raped, killed, spat, had dogs on us, set ablaze, attached, disrespected in our Sunday best for just being. So to say we should take a little more pride in ourself and what we wear [is ridiculous]. I’m gonna wear my bonnet, head scarf, PROUDLY.”

To each their own, indeed. And neither a blog post nor a video from Monique can make anyone do anything they don’t want to do. That said, our culture still battles with images of perception, and sometimes perception is everything. I personally think that while you still may get disrespected…the chances of you being disrespected in a suit is way lower than if you were wearing pajamas and a bonnet.

It’s also about having pride in your appearance. Showing you have respect enough for yourself to groom yourself–even minimally. If not, why not just walk around every day wearing rags? There’s a reason…

What do you think? Do you think it’s ok for black women to wear bonnets in the airport? Let us know below:

Choosing The Right Trendy Outfit Idea For Any Occasion

Posted by The Fashion Bomb Staff
Posted on

It doesn’t matter whether summer is just beginning or just ending, there are plenty of reasons to get dressed up and look your best. In fact, with the restrictions placed on so many people by the global pandemic you don’t even need a reason to get dressed in your finest.

Of course, that is the real issue. The moment you realize you have a special occasion to attend you will look at your wardrobe and realize that you need something different. Your issue becomes one of what trendy outfit idea do you choose and where do you get it from.

Considering Renting

This isn’t the first thing that comes to most people’s minds but it should be! It can be hard to keep up with all the latest fashiaons and trends. In other words, it is easy to make a faux pas than you realize. However, if you take a look at a company specializing in ball dress hire then you know that you are looking at dresses that are currently in fashion. 

That removes the biggest part of the problem.

The second part is cost. Purchasing the latest fashionable outfits is not usually a cheap option. However, you can rent an outfit that you wouldn’t normally be able to afford. Not only will you look fantastic but is likely to be cheaper than purchasing an outfit. If you are still not convinced think about how much you would spend on an outfit for a special occasion and then never wear the outfit again. Renting becomes an attractive option. 

Consider The Occasion

While a rental site will help you to find the perfect, and trendy, outfit, you also need to consider where you are going. There is a big difference between a formal ball and a party on a boat. In addition, you should note what the event is in aid of. This will help you to choose between a dress, something more casual, or even something more formal. 

Talk To Friends

If you are going shopping for a new dress you will probably take at least one trusted friend to get their opinion. You should do the same when looking online at rentals. In addition, your friend may give you guidance regarding which of the current trendy styles is best for you and the occasion. 

It can be very useful to have an independent and honest opinion.

Know Your Fashion

Of course, if you want to be trendy you need to keep up with the latest fashion. If you don’t you may look fabulous but inappropriate!

Currently, comfortable but stylish is very popular. This is because of the restrictions imposed by lockdowns. It will take a while to shake these trends. This doesn’t mean you can put anything on that is comfortable. You need to ensure your clothes are relatively form-fitting. 

If you want to dress it up then the jumper dress is making a comeback but it is still hard to beat slipping into a designer frock and being the toast of any occasion.
