What hats are men supposed to wear in this day and age that dont look like complete faggotry? Everyone seems to default to baseball caps now, but I still see some guys try to pull off fedoras or flatcaps and they just look gay and lame. Fedoras and flatcaps only look good if you are in your 60s. Any younger than that and you look like a fag.

There are no good choices any more for the typical modern man.
In saying that, I like newsboy caps but I don't have the confidence to wear one.

I live in Australia where we get a UV Index in the very high to extreme range and so I always try to wear a broad brim hat to protect myself

I wear baseball caps, panama hats, ushankas and beanies depending on the weather
people would often comment on the panama hat and the ushanka, but I couldn't care less
if it's functional and complements the rest of your fit, it's effay

I have a Carhartt baseball hat, a Buccees hat I got as a gift, and one with a bee on it

>>18496831 (OP)
There are none, if you wear hats over a certain age, everyone assumes you are covering up your balding ass head.

>>18497144
That's why you strategically take your hat off and straighten your hair or whatever once in a while. I wear hats pretty much all the time because I live in a 4000' desert where the sun is a blinding death laser and the dryness makes keeping hair under control really hard and it's always fun to take them off for a sec and watch people realize "oh shit, he's actually got pretty good hair."

wool or cotton twill 6 panel, full crown fitted hats. modern or short brim. no, proper wool caps are not hot in the summer. cotton is more washable.
its hard to find good wool baseball caps now that ebbets got bought by fnatics.
the best looking hat is based on your face shape, skull shape and skull size. just ask grok if you can't figure it out.

low profile dad caps are great if your head is on the small side or wide.

So much energy devoted to bickering with nerds on the internet and you can't even wear a hat in public? Get over yourself. You've got to be a massive covert narcissist to care that much if it doesn't look good.

>>18497509
Umm, how to get fades in that color?

Bucket hat is the only functional hat you can wear in a casual setting.

It's not like I do it constantly, but if I'm chatting up a girl or something I'll make sure she sees that I have hair. I've had women actually comment on it and tell me straight up that they assumed I was bald because I was wearing a hat, which is what made me realize I need to do it in the first place. (Incidentally, it bugs me that they assume there's no reason to wear a hat except baldness, bitch it's fucking bright and I don't want to get my face sunburned to fuck.)

>>18498076
It's sad that you even care that much but hey, whatever keeps the fish on the hook I guess.

They also look good with a wide-breasted coat. But you need to be pretty fit to be able to pull one off without looking larpy.

i drive a low miles excellent condition 1988 325is in a rare highly desired paint color. the m3 sucks ass on the street its a high strung 4 banger made for the track. my car's worth like 20-30k https://bringatrailer.com/search/?s=1988+325is
its a car that makes pretty much everyone's top 10 list of best cars ever made. they're extremely reliable, fun to drive, beautiful and tasteful. the e30 is the most accomplished platform in motorsports history.
poojeets like you do not understand class or taste because this is your first generation outside of abject poverty. and you don't know anything about cars whatsoever so you are easily impressed with stuff like an ipad in the dashboard.
you literally out yourself as third world or a woman-like male who can't turn a wrench if you're not at least aware that its a highly sought-after collector car and i have a clean ass example.

Personally I'm a schizoid hikikomori. Most leaders tend to be narcissists (also known as the warrior gene) and schizotypial/schizoid thinkers have autistic thinking without the cognitive impairment and for all of human history have tended to be either dysfunctional retards or paradigm shifting thinkers and transcendent virtuoso artists and the likes. My point is, those "chuds" were the most dangerous ones to the agenda behind the janny's. Anons the jannies did not like were deemed "schizos" to discredit them in the eyes of anons but I think a lot of people miss the big picture: Jannies were afraid and focusing their efforts heavily on severing the more creative outside-the-box thinking anons from the normiecattle. Normalizing the idea that any unusual idea or concept you haven't heard of before at face value is "schizo" before you've looked into it was a psyop in and of itself.

im looking for the perfect hat myself. sort of a blackish urban cowboy hat, but also has a bohemian hippyish alternative devendra barnhart kind of vibe? like this perhaps

I have like 20 ball caps from my Alma Mater, like 10 various outdoors, hunting, fishing, etc. brand caps, and like 3 workwear brand caps like Carharrt. I also have 4 blank caps: 1 wool navy, 1 cotton navy, 1 wool charcoal, 1 cotton charcoal. I’ll probably buy some green and brown waxed caps this fall.

I’m pretty autistic when it comes to my hats.

I'm statham-level bald. If you wear a hat all the time people will think you're covering up your baldness or think you're insecure. I wear only a hat under one or more of 3 conditions. 1: It's raining 2: It's cold 3: I've been lazy and haven't shaved my head on schedule.

>>18499016

Neesboy caps aren't nearly as played out as flatcaps or fedoras so get on that asap.

Retards cosplaying as peaky blinders mistakently wear flatcaps, so you're safe.

>>18497570
>wearing a hat is making a fashion "statement"
you are delusional. it's one of the most common hat types of the last 200 years, the baseball cap is just a continuation of it. it isn't a statement piece and it takes no confidence to wear one, you're just a complete and utter pussy and every response would just be some retarded copout as to why you being a massive pussy is justified in your head. there's no winning with people like you.

wake up. you are in control of your perception and life. no one gives a fuck about your hat or lackthereof. at most, someone might have a half of a second of piqued interest if they haven't seen someone wearing one irl, but that goes away almost instantly and it becomes normal in their mind. they aren't going to be going around saying, 'hey you see that guys hat over there?' while pointing and snickering at you. or whatever other absurd scenario you come up with to justify how you might be socially ostracized for wearing a hat that isn't presently in the fashion zeitgeist of acceptability. i shouldn't even have to explain it to you though, if you operate that way then you only mess things up for yourself. you live a misleading life of self debilitating retardation. do what thou will.

A bizarrely American post, a rambling wall of belligerent nothing that even misses his own point.

>>18499866
>>18499945
No one cares schizo.

>>18499962
that is exactly what the fuck im saying. no one cares. not even about you wearing a hat, doesnt matter what type it is. so wanting to wear a hat but not doing so because you don't have the "confidence" is beyond retarded. no one cares, schizo.

>>18497416
To Epstein's island?

>>18499949
can you explain how i missed my own point? the point is that a cap with a brim is an extremely common type of hat, it's not a "statement piece" as that anon described, that would be something like wearing a fencing helmet to go grocery shopping. just because i like to use metaphors and examples to illustrate my points doesn't make it rambling nothingness. i had a clear point, allowing yourself to base every little thing you do (like whether or not to wear a hat) because of entirely arbitrary perceived social pressure is pointless. but i still acknowledged that this guy is facing this imaginary pressure and allowing it to dictate his action, and explained that even if brought him unwanted attention it would subside very quickly. people aren't going to be staring at him excessively for wearing a newsboy cap just because it's not as common in the current year.

lastly i ended it off by saying, dou what thou will. which is apt, and has a clear point. do whatever you want, be that wearing the hat you want or being a total pussy controlled by made up bullies laughing at you for your hat.

what's with your pretentious attitude? if you disagree with me then say so, but instead you just say some offtopic shit about how you don't like my post like some kind of verbalized downvote. it's like you are against posting a comment longer than one sentence and if anyone does it's automatically "rambling wall of belligerent nothing." do you even understand my point enough to say that i've missed it? and if so, where exactly does that happen? in what way did i miss my own point? or did you just say that because it sounds condescending.

65 dollars for a baseball cap is retarded. i don't care if it's filson.

>>18502370
thats less than a lower quality 59fifty cap costs.
id say you get like $40 worth of cap and you're paying the rest for the filson name on it. pics don't really do the quality justice but its one of those things where the second you have it in hand its immediately noticeable that every aspect of it is better made than your typical cap, not just the memefabric.
just the fact the sweatband is thick cotton and structured puts it ahead of most caps. and its one of the only strapbacks where you are getting actual high quality leather for the strap, not some bullshit.
cheap hats with synthetic sweat bands make you build up dht at your temples and go bald btw.

>>18502240
>>18499945
you're arguing with a schizo who thinks every post with more than 3 sentences was written by me. he's obviously third world and brown so you can just ignore him.

>>18497840
telling you bro get an ebbets blank while you still can. fnatics bought them out last year and started discontinuing the blanks and phasing out usa production. they're just as good as the filson caps, just made of wool instead of cotton. least sweaty cap you will ever own, unless you get into unstructured wool caps.

Not a pedo since there were only teens there but nice try roastie

>>18502398
young people aren't aware of this but most boomers are ephebophiles and spent half their lives jacking off to underage softcore teen shit. back before the internet when you had to get porn from video rental stores even the mainstream video rental stores had "tasteful nudity" teen shit in the back and they were among the most popular. not to mention all the mainstream hollywood movies, magazine covers etc back then.
sometime around the late 80s early 90s the dominant mainstream culture went from der spiegel publishing full frontal of 12yo's on their magazine covers to chris hansen and FBI OPEN UP!!! so the boomers stopped being as open about it.
tl;dr most boomers who seethe about epstein/trump/clinton/ghislaine/etc for being pedophiles are hypocrites. the seething about the trafficking/exploitation part is fair though.

>>18502398
i used to hit up a lot of estate sales for vintage clothes and like 70% of these boomers have collections and stashes of mags and stuff from back then its so funny.

first post since i posted this yesterday, wtf are you retards talking about lmfao calling each other pigslim and indian? the resident schizo (me) is a crazy ass white boy from the US. not pleas sarr i am fucking indian please sir help i am fucking indian sir. and not whatever a pigslim is that some rapedungeon lingo? leg lengthening surgery?

despite all of you yapping at each other not a single person came correctly in disagreement, so as i put it previously, allowing other people's potential and imagined reactions or opinions dictate whether or not you wear a basic ass hat or any other aspect of your life for the matter is pretty much the most retarded thing ever.

and as for the topic itself, in the OP. there is still plenty of other hats that can be worn. a beanie, a bucket hat, some workwear or fishing style sun protection hats, if it's cold where you are a full balclava, beanie, knitted beanie, if you are jew you could wear a little yamaka or one of those top hat things, if it suits your face a large saggy beret could work, with some round glasses like some kind of commie. commies are still in vogue atm so even if you arent one they will fw your hat and you might even get some pussy. there is probably hat store out there with all kinds of different types you can try on and just see what looks good with the kind of clothing you wear cause that's a pretty important aspect of it.

>>18502381
Okay stop with the shilling, I will buy one since they look nice

Nah, it’s only baseball hats
