ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 7 months agoI 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.

I just feel like an asshole when I wear one now. Or more of an asshole than usual anyway.

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.

Damn, you’re right. I didn’t think about the Blues Brothers, who do in fact look very cool in trilbys. I guess it just requires the right accompaniment like any hat. I apologize.

You know what I like? The bowler. I’ve never had one, but I like bowler hats.
EpeeGnome@lemm.ee 7 months ago
My brother has a bowler. It can look damn stylish with the right clothes, and downright silly with the wrong ones. I can’t wear one though, I look silly in them no matter what I wear it with.

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.
0ops@lemm.ee 7 months ago
Yeah there’s the rub 🤷

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

Groaan, my 17y old sun is currently intentionally growing a mullet.
Can’t the trauma be enough? I already grew up in the 80s.

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