What Hats mean to Men’s Wardrobe

Men’s wardrobe without a hat? That is simply impossible!! Vintage or contemporary men like to wear hats in different styles. Distinguished for their style and looks hats add a masculine appeal to menswear. Keeping in mind that a man has to dress properly, fashion designers have planned and designed these accessories accordingly; thus, contributing to the good looks of a manly figure.

What counts most? Is it the appeal or the functionality?

When a person talks about men’s wardrobe he/she does not necessarily focus on a hat wardrobe; the goal is to talk about the importance of hats in a man’s closet. Secondly, while most men love to wear hats, there are also some who don’t; but again it is important to talk about men’s head gear especially because they are functional. So, before concluding anything about hats one should understand whether this accessory is a necessity or an optional head wear. An airy and light weight hat can also act as a protection to save the head from the scorching heat. Though, this may sound a little bizarre but yes, hats can save your head from the rains, at least for some minutes. Hats not only add vibrancy to the wardrobe of a male. It invariably contributes to the attitude of a gentleman. Besides, there are certain hat-etiquettes which a man needs to observe to make these head gears even more meaningful for the male community.

Though hats may come in different shapes, styles and colours they are basically treated as any signature accessory. Moreover, for men who love donning the head gears it is important to maintain certain etiquettes. Though men are usually reluctant in respecting hat etiquettes, the western culture and norms believes that a true man should observe good manners expected from him. Besides these good manners are counted especially when a man is judged from a gentleman’s perspective. Here take a look at the hat etiquettes:

  • Remove the hat as soon as you enter someone’s home, an elevator or an eatery namely a restaurant.

  • Remove the hat when a national anthem is played. After removing the hat, place the same over the left hand side of your chest; the place where your heart belongs. This particular etiquette is observed to respect a nation and its people.

  • Raise the hat by holding its crown whenever you come across a female acquaintance; especially if it is in public.

  • Touch your hat’s brim just the time when you want to greet your friend.
Lately the fedora hat has been making quite news. Today, the Fedora hats for men are available online and even celebrities are found sporting them quite often. Would you mind buying one?
