The men's dress style thread..

A fedora is much more stylish, and you won't end up looking like Micky Pearce from Only Fools and Horses.

 

[T4tomo]

Agree with Fedora, or maybe go Pork pie hat. Bring out your inner two tone

 

[Drago]

A nice bowler.

Ohh your so right there

No, I gave up Bowls when we stopped going to Pontins for our holidays.

Perhaps your right, how about this?

 

[grldtnr]

A Homburg ,perhaps?
But it does depend on your style of dress I suppose, I have a variety of hats I wear,but none of them formal, as I don't dress formally,

 

[Dogtrousers]

Sombrero

it takes years off you but not sure about the beard

 

[Profpointy]

Well if it's mainly to keep the rain off the deaf-aids then maybe a souwester?

• 

Only half joking as I have considered buying one, but more for hillwalking and such as wearing it to the shops might look a bit silly

On a more serious suggestion I too like the recommendations of a pork pie hat (which I'm half tempted to get myself) whether Thelonius Monk jazzman style or the two tone ska small trilby style . Not so keen on old-man trilbies. The Homburg idea is good too, and much more cool than a fedora.

How about the Popeye Doyle look?

I used to cycle to school wearing a yellow sou’wester and cape in the early ‘60s

on that tricycle you posted elsewhere? Were you bullied?

to be fair you'd recovered your style to the white Maestro and short shorts look by the early 80's

Sombrero

Only if you have a sister named Belinda, but make sure she doesn't sit on it.

My last day at work , this, French colonial pith helmet ,arrived just in time before I left for home, I always fancied one , so ordered one, actually it's very usefull, with that wide brim , cork lined , fill it and soak it in water it keeps your head cool, your lugs ,face and nape of the neck shaded, acts as a bump hat, and keeps umbrellas out of your eyes!
Only thing is it's bloody useless cycling wind gets under it and it comes off!
