Wearing a Hat

Bringing back the hat (thanks, iWitness)

clipped from artofmanliness.com Up until the 1950’s men were rarely seen out and about without a hat sitting upon their head. Since that time, the wearing of hats has seen a precipitous decline. No one is precisely sure why. Some say the downfall of hats occurred when JFK did not wear a hat to his inauguration, thus forever branding them as uncool. Yet hats are due for a full resurgence. So mix up your lids with these various options: The Flat Cap a stylish way to add interest to a casual outfit The Fedora While once mainstream, a man in a fedora is now seen as a trendsetter. The Porkpie similar to a fedora but with a flat top instead of a pinched crown The Homburg Photo from The Godfather Favored by the Godfather and resurrected by the likes of Snoop Dogg and Tupac, the Homburg now carries a distinctly gangster flavor. The Bowler/Derby the Plug Uglies Touch the brim of your hat lightly when greeting a friend. Raise the hat by the crown when meeting a female friend in public.
