Men’s fashion is dreadfully boring, but one thing we used to have was a profusion and proliferation of different hats we could wear.
I know the m’lady meme and mall ninjas have forever cursed the fedora (as well as the actually, that’s a trilby crowd), but those memes postdate the decline of the hat by several decades.
Currently, we only have baseball caps and beanies in common circulation, with impractical-for-sidewalk-use cowboy hats being the only extant outlier.
Does anyone long for the return of the hat and/or have any insight into what caused their decline?
What do you think people would assume about you if you wore a cowboy hat? Or is it just you don’t like to draw attention to yourself?
I probably would assume you were trying to make some kind of statement with a cowboy hat, even though its origin was obviously utilitarian.
It’s just not wanting the attention/conversations
