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 flatcap every day. I consider this to be a hat, for all intents and purposes.
In my country those are the prerogative of old age.
In australia they have been adopted by skinheads (left), and neo nazis (skinheads right) although explicetly at war memorials
There are leftist skinheads hanging around war memorials, in Australia?
Ok, zoomer.
