while you’re staring at me in public and fantasizing about homo shit in your mind I am protected by the sun because I wear full brim hats and not some moron tier ball cap
>Beanies >Caps >Broad brimmed never went out for women >Stetsons for yanks >Flat caps ‘ere up norf >Ethnic garb like turbans, sombreros and yamacas
And if you’re attractive, so not anyone on this board, you can pull off the fedora and not look like you’re Euphoric
beanies and various baseball caps are the only men’s hats that have been mainstream over the last few decades though
all the other stuff you described is regional and not mainstream fashion, it hasn’t been trendy or globalised at all
I feel like it’s around the time to make another big attempt at them in the fashion world. The stuff going on 10-15 years ago tried to get there, but wasn’t sincere enough, it was just seen as a fast, fleeting hipster fashion by many. Peaky Blinders has already popularized newsboy and flat caps more often, and there were some characters that wore fedora and Homburg hats.
These hats seem more formal and white collar than newsboy caps. I think the problem with not being able to wear them anymore has more to do with the casualization and downdressing of society as a whole. Trying to add a fedora to an outfit people wear comes off like wearing a tuxedo jacket with jeans, if you wear the hat you have to wear a whole equally formal outfit and then you look way overdressed.
For instance I’ve seen a lot of old guys wear these types of hats to funerals with a suit, but those old guys also wear some plaid shirt blue jeans type of outfit on a normal day, and never wear that kind of hat with that.
The white dress shirt and boots being black leather keeps it up there enough, the hat is non-shiny and that makes it a bit less formal. A person today is already noticeably more formal than average if they incorporate a white dress shirt and black leather footwear to their outfit.
If you switched out that dress shirt for a t-shirt that would push it over the edge to too casual and mismatched (and into the territory of mistakes that many modern people make when they wear these kind of hats)
the brims were designed to shield your eyes and face from the sun
and yeah, they were also frequently a status symbol, especially the lavish silk top hats they used to wear in the 19th century
Define action >outdoors, shooting/hunting/fowling/fishing etc
Flat caps are a staple, though buckets are also good >out and about town
Try different styles of fedoras, smaller and more form fitting
i’d like something that says yes i work indoors but i also might do parkour later
i’ve been rocking a baseball cap from Alexander Arms because they’re a high end firearm company but the bill is full split open worn and i want to get another one to prevent further wear and allow me to use the full rustic appeal of a completely daily driven for 2 years baseball cap style of hat
i wore a bucket for a few years in cali while i was a beach bum hacker but it became sweaty with all the long hair, so i moved to a baseball for hair through the loop
They still look good but of course they have to be matched correctly with the right type of suit. I don’t personally wear hats but I’ll never understand why people are so eager to try and fit in and why they’re so afraid of standing out. If it looks good it looks good, wear what makes you content.
The hat really helps to bring this guy’s look together, in that instance. He would look more plain without it, yes, though the gloves are also something.
I wish hats would come back into style
Couldn’t agree more, as long as the hat isn’t too big it’ll fit with most clothes, less wind, less messy hair, makes you look nest
why are you people so paralyzed by fear? if you want to wear that hat just do it, gay
hecking betas everywhere what the heck
You look like a gay in that fedora

>crab bucket geek whos too afraid to stand out
I’m surprised hats haven’t come back into style in so long. a whole category of clothes that almost no one uses anymore

More casual
The white dress shirt and boots being black leather keeps it up there enough, the hat is non-shiny and that makes it a bit less formal. A person today is already noticeably more formal than average if they incorporate a white dress shirt and black leather footwear to their outfit.
If you switched out that dress shirt for a t-shirt that would push it over the edge to too casual and mismatched (and into the territory of mistakes that many modern people make when they wear these kind of hats)
what was the point of hats? status symbol? just dumb fashion trend? Or did they have an actual practical use?
the brims were designed to shield your eyes and face from the sun
and yeah, they were also frequently a status symbol, especially the lavish silk top hats they used to wear in the 19th century
besides the brims it retained body heat and prevented dirt from getting into your hair (less bathing than today)
i want a fedora but more actiony
so a bucket hat?

Without the hat he’ll look so plain
The hat really helps to bring this guy’s look together, in that instance. He would look more plain without it, yes, though the gloves are also something.
can I rock the cowboy hat as a seamoron?
For sure, family is from the south, im half Mexican and can look like I have chink blood at times but I look good in the western hats
So think ranchero and not southern gentleman? Got it.
Charro suits look cool but you’d look a bit silly wearing one around.
Yeah for sure, southern gentleman can work but that’s like slave owner and people are gonna be like wtf
i think the problems with hats is
1. wearing a hat while wearing a tshirt and jeans looks weird
2. fedoras and the like have been slandered and made to be neck beard tier
Me.
