  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.

      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.

        I don’t mind looking silly in a bowler.

  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

      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.
