Hats as we know is a comfortable practical and a good way to add a touch of personal style to your outfit. It is also a fantastic addition to any man`s wardrobe hence if you are going to wear a hat wear one well.
It is important to mention in the history of men`s style hats were functional articles of clothing. They needed to look good though they have to keep off sun rain and wind.
Below are various things to consider before Getting A Hat
Western Hats
Broadly speaking, western hats are high-crowned wide-brimmed hats. The most common style have a `double crown` where the flat is stiffened with a crease down the center and a dimple on either side of the crown but other shapes are possible as well. They are somewhat more `macho` and less formal than other styles.
The Fedora Hats
This is what most people think about when they think of classic men`s hats. It is an iconic style. To some a fedora is a felt hat with a pinched side and a lengthwise crease down the crown. That gives the front a roughly wedge-like shape though it can be molded to the wearer`s taste.
One of the big advantage of a fedora and one of the reasons for the styles popularity is the wide flexible brim. Fedora brims and flat with no constructed edge or curl and can be bent up or down as the wearer pleases.
The flexible brim gives the fedora a little more versatility than a stiffer style. It can be tilted down over the eyes for a hidden mysterious look or angled slightly upward for a more open profile.
The Homburg
The homburg is your best bet for a formal business look. It has the same creased crown but without the pinches at the sides and the brim is stiffer and has a slightly upturned lip all the way around.
Also, this is the go-to-dress hat of businessmen, politicians and other well-to-do gentlemen in the western world.
