At one point in time (before my time) I think British hats were classy and showed sophistication but now it's like everyone over the pond is in a competition with each other to wear the silliest and most Lady-Gaga-inspired-atrocity headgear. During the royal wedding, it was like the mad hatter went ape-shit crazy designing these hats. I'm pretty sure if it wasn't for the royal family and everybody associating everything British with them, we'd all be laughing at the English. A lot more than we already do now, I mean. Silly tea drinkers, for all those countries they colonized you'd think one of them would have had coffee. But I guess it's one of their signifiers. For Americans it's diabetes, obesity, and Angelina Jolie and for the British it's (other than the accent of course) the silly hats, tea, the royal family, and Mr. Bean.
Quoting Seth Meyers, "...I'm happy we live in a country where people don't wear hats like that."
