Best hat ever.

Only time that i have weared a hat was a beret back when i was in the military. I don't know, hats today just doesn't really look that good. It rather looks a bit archaic to me, like those ridicolous wigs that the british judges wear.

 

Every time i see someone wearing a hat on the street, it's either 1)some sort of for teh lulz irony, or 2) some clueless hipster thinking that he or she is cool.

I would add that when one's hair decides to style itself in a cattywompus manner, one may wear a hat.

I always wear hats.. usually the first kind (can't remember it's name though), but I also have a more fedora'ish hat (second pic).

You forgot about 3) a bloody idiot.

 

 

Wearing a hat without some sort of practical intent, like a helmet at a construction site, is ridiculous and should be avoided.

Just because you guys look ridiculous with hats, doesn't mean that the rest of us do..

Actually, every organic lifeform known to man looks silly in a hat. Even in the heydays of hat-wearing, the coolest cats on the block did not wear them.

 

 

 

Irrefutable evidence: do a google imagesearch on Cary Grant, Ive looked 5 pages down and there is not a single photo in which he is wearing a hat. Not even Humphrey Bogart wore hats privately, only when he played Sam Spade.

Hats need to be low key, a fedora in a muted colour for instance , baseball caps, well I guess I'm just too old for those unless they actually serve a purpose, ei working outside on a hot day.

 

Part of the statement is that you don't care about people who summarily dismiss hats. That makes you automatically cooler than the rest of the hat hating herd.

I used to wear a baseball cap all the time. Then I realised i should just cut my damn hair.

Come on, hats are not cool. It doesnt matter how many levels or irony you wear it with, its still like stapling a sign that says "big fat idiot" to your forehead. We have this friend who always wears a fedora. We've been saying he looks like an ass in it, but he thinks its a joke. Its been two years and he's still like "That's so funny, guys." but we're completely serious.

 

 

 

In summer, when the sun is really bright I might wear a fishing hat at times. But thats just because I think wearing sunglasses is even more ridiculous than wearing a hat. And I do look like a complete idiot in that fishing hat.

You look stupid when you call us hat-wearers stupid.

Sunglasses are stupid, I would never wear them unless not doing so would mean snow blindness.

 

Some people do look silly with hats, it depends on the shape of the head i suppose, it has to generate an aesthetically pleasing profile. You can't carry a bald or millimetre cut look well if your skull has no contour to it, or grow a beard if it ends up all patchy.

 

Some people are just not that aware of the chasm between what they think they look like, and the actual impression they generate.

Not a hat guy myself. I did have to wear these though:

 

 

Ugh.

Lol, hey, it looked good on me.

No hats for me, I'll wear a Padres beanie if it's cold.

It's a well known trap to do something initially as a joke, and then fall into do it. It's how you wind up wearing a fedora, or a cardigan, or carpet slippers, or the Victoria Cross.

All the hats I've ever worn were called covers and had this on them.

I hope for your sake you're a marine, and not merely an escaped mental patient.

Basically the same thing.

Nice when rainy.

When posting on this forum I tend to wear a WW1-era Picklehaube helmet, mit spike. It helps me concentrate.
