When is a scarf not just a scarf? When it's a keffiyeh. (The one Chris Brown is rocking here isn't traditional, but it's a take on the old-school variety.)Hipsters have re-adopted this very popular scarf yet again lately, but not everyone may know that the Middle Eastern scarves are loaded with political connotations, from "anti-war" leanings to "terrorist" sympathizing to solidarity with Palestine. Urban Outfitters even dropped them for a time after complaints. For some though, the fact that they're in U.O. and Topshop in England just goes to prove they've become so trendy and watered down that they are, indeed, just scarves again.
