A SALUTE TO THE STEPPIN' KINGS IN THEIR HATS
by Hadiyah Al-Sudan
I love to see the
Steppin’ Kings in their Hats, i.e.
Dress Hats, Top Hats
And all kinds of Hats with Brims;
Sports Caps and Western Hats to wear
in the Windy City,
And Military Hats to Defend;
Fez or Kufi for those
that are making awareness
statements;
all creating a sea of dress-excellence that has no limitations.
It doesn't matter if the Steppin' King's Hat matches his clothes
or is thrown in for effect;
a King in his Hat is royalty at its best!
I love to see a
Steppin’ King
crowned with a Hat
thereby dressing to impress,
or a Cap turned
backwards
revealing his stunning
youth-ful-ness.
Yes, A Steppin’ King
in a Hat is gallant
everywhere,
still, I must be fair--
I also admire Corn Rows, Locks, Fades, Close Cuts and
even Processed hair
is back,
but give me a Steppin’ King, crowned with
his own style,
sealing in his
own identity
in the Steppin’
Time Zone, and sealing it with a Hat!
