There is a saying in German: Haste Hut an, biste gut an.
It translates to “If you are wearing a hat, you are dressed well.”

I wish fedoras didn’t have the reputation they do. My wife thinks I look sharp in a fedora.

The German saying says “Hut”, which is a less broad term than the English “hat”. And it definitely does not include that.

You’re right, fuck hats.

but its one of the best blue nile albums :(

I personally wear hats. A fedora is one of them. It can be hard to dress for, but I tend to underdress rather than overdo it because wearing it casually doesn’t make me look like an internet meme.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 months ago
I just feel like an asshole when I wear one now. Or more of an asshole than usual anyway.
EpeeGnome@lemm.ee 5 months ago
The trick is what you wear with it. Yeah, if you wear it with an edgy t-shirt, cargo pants, and a trench coat people will think you’re an asshole. If you instead wear it with, for example, a casual button down shirt, sturdy slacks, and in colder weather a light leather jacket, people will think you look like Indiana Jones. I know because that’s how I usually dress and random people compliment me on that.
There’s no saving the Trilby hat though, there’s no outfit that makes it work.

I wear a trilby and get compliments frequently. People tell me I look like: The Blues Brothers, Inspector Gadget, Dick Tracey, and one guy called me Inspector Clouseau.

You know what I like? The bowler. I’ve never had one, but I like bowler hats.

Wear the fedora, don’t be an asshole, then you’ll change their perception an interaction at a time. Fuck the strangers

You’re telling me not to be self-conscious in public? You’re almost 47 years too late for that one I’m afraid.

Exactly, I mean trends change. Who would have guessed the mullet would return, but here we are

I mostly wear it when it’s hot and sunny. The wide brim is very useful in the sun.

I wouldn’t worry about it. The people who have weird prejudices against fedoras don’t get outside very often.

I wear a trilby. Most people think it’s a fedora
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Whenever I hear the word ‘trilby’ it immediately makes me think of the song Gone to the Dogs by Squeeze because it has the line “in old covert coats and trilby hats.”

Ok grandpa.

Dude, it was a song from the 90s. I mean I know that doesn’t make me young, but…

Yahtzee?
AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 5 months ago
No, but I do appreciate his reviews
maniclucky@lemmy.world 5 months ago
I’ve had to stop listening to his review. Not because I don’t like them, but because I’m way to impressionable with negative review and it turns me away from too many things. I miss it.

People don’t think some guy and his wife look like losers when he’s wearing a fedora. People think a single guy in a graphic tee with a fedora looks like a loser. Go dress sharp, the only people whose opinions of your appearance matter seem to like it when you wear one.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 months ago
What about a guy in a graphic tee with a fedora with his wife?
KrankyKong@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Depends on how greasy they both look.
Daxter101@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 months ago
I mean, no matter how greasy they look, they’re together, good for them.
I think it depends on how shitty they’re behaving.

From all the sex they’re having? Because you’re there too on the sex tarp?
