Are You Confident Enough to Wear the Fedora?

Bernie Mac hat.jpgThis hat is for the confident, cool, and collected man who wants to add a little pizzazz to his outfit. While Brad Pitt can chic up a plain T-shirt with the hat that reminds us of the silent actor Charlie Chaplin, the late comedian Bernie Mac was known make his sleek suits even more sophisticated with a wider-brimmed style. Are you ready to trade in your Dodgers or Dallas Cowboys cap for more fashionable headwear?

The holidays are great time to make a statement and fancy up your look (or even cover up a bad haircut!). Of course, as you try on the hat, be sure to really love this look. It's definitely a make-it or break-it type of accessory. And if it is your first time meeting the in-laws, you may want to stick with what you feel comfortable with!

In addition to scouting out your local vintage shops, here are a few retails outlets that carry great renditions of this trend:

This is one look I'm just not keen on. I don't know if it is that I'm not prepared to see good looking young men wearing fedoras or what the hang up is that I have. I am accustomed to seeing my grandfather's generation in hats. I suppose I like the look better when its streamlining a dressed up look, rather than covering dirty hair and complemented by a scruffy face, jeans, and whatever else. That I don't like.

I don't know, I'll have to see if this look grows on me.

Thanks for reading Casey. I definitely think this is a love it or hate it look, because it's such a dramatic statement. Funny how we all have different styles of what we like; I like how it looks when it's casual and covering the dirty hair, because I think it actually ups the look a bit. Dresses it up, instead of a beanie or sports cap!

I am especially fasinated with vintage hats for women. I think Keith Ledger pulls it off the best.

i wear the new modern fedora i think it looks awesome and stylish with a nice polo or stylish button up shirt
