Tall hats in Medieval Egypt
Typically, those versed in Mediterranean fashion think of a tall, vaguely cone like hat (tantour) as a Levantine thing. However, in Mamluk Egypt, such hats were equally popular.
[European drawings of Mamluk era women]
The style here is a kind of taqqiya. This hat was initially a men's hat (as the other type of taqqiya is today), and was adopted by women in an era of what has been called "wide-spread transvestism" under the Mamluks. Though widespread, "crossdressing" was also often the subject of laws and public humiliation. Al-Maqrizi claims this was due to an increasing commonality of gay stuff happening with higher class men, which led women to start dressing like men. However, I wouldn't be surprised if there was other stuff going on. This overall backlash against crossdressing as well as anti-Coptic violence also led to increased criminalization Nayrouz, a Coptic festival that centuries ago involved pranks, crossdressing, and public merriment before being legally restricted by Medieval Islamic rulers. (It is not, despite the name and a few practices, related to Nowruz... I was able to find attestation of some fire and water related customs of the Pharaonic New Year festival on the sane date from the New Kingdom. I haven't come up with a satisifying theory as to when exactly that name was adopted and neither has anyone else).
Another style was the ṭarṭur, which could either be conical, pipe-like, or shaped like a goblet. This style was still in use in the end of the 17th century. It could be either a relatively affordable headdress, or made of fine foreign leathers and decorated with pearls, gems, coins, and ducats.
For a more detailed post on hats from Mamluk era Egypt you can check out the blog lugatism. I don't personally know the author at all, but they put out some excellent research into fashion history from Egypt and surrounding regions.
