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?
I will always reference these when the lack of men’s fashion comes up. I don’t think these would suit everyone, but it’s just an example of how much more we could push.
Those look nice, but they don’t look all that comfortable or functional.
I don’t think most of these work outside party settings, but the same can be said about a lot of women’s fashion.
