When it comes to heads, nobody has better ones on their shoulders than Evo and Chavecito.
Or better dressed ones, come to that:

Is this Evo’s Easter bonnet? Or just another of his many creative uses for coca leaves?
I read on the wires that this is actually a good-luck ritual, but it could also be Evo’s way of telling us that grain products, such as bread, have a vital place in a balanced diet.
Meanwhile, Chavecito is also a man of many hats…

…gamely donning them even when they’re not terribly flattering to his face.

The Andean flap hat, for example, suits Evo much better.

This African chapeau, however, is quite fetching.
I quite like this regional style from Zulia…

…which also suits Evo to a tee:

This Panamanian palm hat is nice, too:

And I really, REALLY like him in this Stetson:

…which harks back to his llanero origins.

He definitely looks at home in a baseball cap.
And he’s downright imposing in his full-dress uniform:

And yes, by all means, put on your hard hat, Chavecito, before you Safety Dance.

But my all time favorite is his iconic red beret…

…which looks equally good with camo and civvies.

It takes a lot of talent to wear so many hats.
