question for black girls/girls who wear bonnets, as someone who just got her first one, would it be weird for me to wear a bonnet outside? like is it seen as pajamas since u usually wear it to sleep or how is it perceived

It depends on ur comfort level I’d say. I don’t wear mine out but I don’t judge people who do unless it’s like if someone is showing up to a meeting in a bonnet I’d feel like it’s too casual for the situation but if I see em in Walmart in a bonnet idc

i don’t wear it out unless i’m going to the beauty supply, not being seen, or in a dire situation (hasn’t happened), imo most places bonnets aren’t acceptable to wear out (put your hair in a pony, do a head wrap, etc.)

Personally, I see no issue wearing a bonnet out to a grocery run or instances like that. But if you’re going somewhere formal or where you’ll be dressed up, even if it’s casual-I’d say leave it at home if you can! Maybe try cute headband styles or head wraps!!🫶🏾

I would say same category as like sweatpants w a sleep shirt or sweatpants w house shoes. It’s house attire but I also go to Walmart in my pjs sometimes yk
