Technically, zouaves wear what are called chechias, but it's the same concept
Maaaan, I've wanted to go out for halloween as a Zouave for years now. Buying the costume/having one made is a touch pricey for one night of shennanigans, though.
That guy eradicated just about everything that had anything to do with Turkish(Ottoman) culture up to that point in time. I don't know if it is on account of those efforts, or from the western stereotype of 'Turkey = Fezes' that my Turkish friend finds Fez wearing to be ridiculous. (Maybe he just doesn't want us silly white people stealing from his culture, I dunno. )when Mustafa Kemal Ataturk banned fez wearing as a national past time in Republican Turkey c 1920s-30s.
