Hat wearing has witnessed a precipitous decline, but surely a hat is one of the most intoxicating additions to a man’s wardrobe. However, owning a hat is not as potent as wearing it right. Whether you sport your hat with poise or reluctance goes a long way in defining your guise.
Flaunt your hat with the ultimate confidence and make it your signature. Wear the same hat until people associate you with it and it becomes you. Also, it goes without saying; wear a hat fit for your proportion. Big hats for big heads! Let’s take a look at some classic styles of hats:
Fedora
A man in a Fedora is a trend setter. Donning a Fedora evokes classic style and lends an air of mystery to the wearer. Worn by prohibition era gangsters, traditionally the brim of the fedora is inclined down in the front and turns up slightly at the back. Wear a fedora with a suit and a tie and look downright audacious.
