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

EpeeGnome@lemm.ee 7 months agoThe 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.

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 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.
