I wish fedoras didn’t have the reputation they do. My wife thinks I look sharp in a fedora.
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.
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 don’t know about that…
The German saying says “Hut”, which is a less broad term than the English “hat”. And it definitely does not include that.
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. Helps to be a bit older, too.
I just feel like an asshole when I wear one now. Or more of an asshole than usual anyway.
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.
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.
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. As long as the outfit suits the hat, people will see it in the way you mean it.
There’s no saving the Trilby hat though, there’s no outfit that makes it work.Edit: I was wrong. Even the Trilby can be cool.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.
TIL Fedora is also an hat (not only a Linux distro), and the RedHat logo and name makes sense now.
Edit apparently the original hat brand stil exists and cost a fuck ton
You never see Indiana Jones?
Yeah, but didn’t know it was called that way. Maybe because it got translated in a different way in my language.
Also the hat associated with the fedora meme isn’t a fedora, it’s a trilby.
