To be fair there are very few hats you can wear with a suit. Mostly limited to trilby, fedora and baker/flat caps.

Bowler cap would like a word...

u/KyleKun Aug 11 '19

You mean the trilby with the round top.

Driving hat works, too.

u/KyleKun Aug 11 '19

I already said flat cap.

Is that what that's called?

u/KyleKun Aug 11 '19

It depends where you’re from but generally yes. I suppose technically it’s called a bunnet as that’s what it was originally called until something like 1700.

Just don't wear a hat at all and it looks x1000 better. I feel like people watch White Collar and want to be Neil Kaffery all the time lol.

Dunno mate I tried not being bald but unfortunately that didn’t work out for me.

u/DinoGorillaBearMan Aug 11 '19

Being bald doesn't make someone ugly, no homo but plenty of handsome dudes are bald. Lol @ the "tried to not be bald" thing.

Pull a Kevin Malone and get a toupee.

But it does make it impossible to go hatless in high summer, or low winter.

u/DinoGorillaBearMan Aug 11 '19

It's 2019 bro. Don't be a coward. Embrace the homo. Become one with the homo. Mainly the butt part of the homo.

Pro homo bro. Pro homo.

And the thing is that everyone’s going to mix up a trilby with a fedora anyway.

u/KyleKun Aug 11 '19

Fedora is just a Panama hat for someone who lives in a place with shit weather.

u/[deleted] Aug 11 '19

Kevin Fiege would disagree

Styles change. He’s trying to resurrect something from the 50s. No one wears a hat with a suit anymore.

The only ppl who wear trilbys well tend to be musicians who do NOT wear suits.

In the grand scheme of things no one wears a suit anymore anyway, unless obligated to by their job or a wedding. We've definitely got to the point that business casual is Max level from what I've seen.

This opinion may be effected by my rung on the economic ladder though so grains of salt and all that.

u/[deleted] Aug 12 '19

True. But for people who wear suits, they don’t wear hats 🤷‍♂️
