For the past decade or better, I have donned a fedora, particularly in the non-summer months. I think that it makes any man's head look good. Hats should come back.
Of course, with hats coming back, people need to re-learn hat etiquette. I am not a master of hat etiquette, but there are a few facts I am aware of. Most important among them: Men, take off your hats in church! This is a sacred space. If you are asked to remove your hat for the singing of the national anthem, how much more should your hat be removed in the presence of God!
I also think of how our American society has denigrated into a nation of slobs. Save the pajama pants and lounge-wear for your house, not for the mall or the airport. I don't think we need to return to men wearing suits everywhere, including baseball games. Still, that was a great look. See here:
The preferred head-ware has diminished in quality over the years, too. Take a look at the chart below.
I think we peaked in 1935. That, of course, is my opinion. But my opinion is based on the quality of the hats people used to wear.
Bring back the fedora!!!
