Sort of Off Topic, but does the US seem less like a British colony than the others ( Canada, Australia, NZ come quickly to mind) because although parts of the US were a colony, you broke away so much earlier? True story, NZ didn’t stop being a “Dominion” of the UK until after World War 2! So late.
I agree that fascinators come from a more British culture but they are a huge thing for the horse races Down Under, especially for Australia’s Melbourne Cup. So they kind of feel like ours. I think they are not at all practical but can be very pretty.
