#Instead we have these stupid inaccurate hairstyles that are meant to 'emulate' the look of a hat

[hopeidontgetaddictedtothis]

Why do all period pieces (especially Austen-inspired) nowadays absolutely refuse to give hats to their characters? Is it because hats might ruin hours of work that Hair & Makeup put into the actors? But actors wear wigs anyway when doing period pieces, so why can't they put a hat on top of them? What's puzzling is that all the excellent period films & TV series from the 90s do have hats: a variety of crowns, bonnets, helmets, hoods, etc. What happened? Hats can be a great symbol of wealth, status, and personality. They're missing out on a major costume item that can vastly improve the look of the character! Did an actor get a sweaty head on set one day, sued Hollywood, and vowed none shall wear a hat ever again? What's with all the hat hatred? Hatread?
