MAY IS GETTING ANXIOUS

What is going on with that cap?

A strange trend is emerging. Maybe there's a stylist gone rogue, but suddenly I see the phenomenon of headgear popping up everywhere in spaces where you absolutely don't need it.

The first episode of The Voice featured a slightly too self-assured pretty boy wearing a casual beanie during the blind auditions (just take a look). First of all: this was about blind auditions, so it really doesn't matter how you look. Secondly: isn't a beanie a bit out of place when you're in a steaming studio under forty-seven lights with a temperature of a messy twenty-seven degrees? I found it a bit, well. Let's just say it would have been perfect on a chilly Sunday afternoon in Vondelpark (this by the way, are the most beautiful autumn parks).

Yesterday I watched Boulevard and saw Bridget Maasland at the desk. With a beret. Da F, what's happening here? I know that headgear is the perfect alternative for a bad hair day, but Bridget didn't seem to have one, because she looked stunning otherwise. Why is everyone suddenly wearing a cap indoors? And especially in a TV studio where everyone knows it's tropical. Of course, it looks nice, but is everyone going completely cuckoo? Are we going to present in jackets soon so that you don't see that little fat roll? Or are we going to open the umbrella for the better singing in the rain effect? Or, yes, maybe Humberto can present in pajamas. Fits nicely with the mood of the viewer who is probably watching him from their bed.

Dear adrift TV stylists, I understand that in times of fashion a lot is permissible, but not everything. It still has to make some sense.
