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 wear a bucket hat. Keeps the sun off my head. Do I care what I look like?
Not at all. It’s colorful too.
Bucket hats are back anyway, I literally got one as swag from an Electric Callboy concert
but does it? the brim is really small.
the head and face, while connected, may have different sunlight requirements.
