Hats for Men

Once a fashion staple, men's hats have spent more than half a century relegated to fisherman's cap. An inglorious fate to say the least. Fortunately, over the last few years these accessories have regained some of their honored status, which means it's time for every man to stock up on head gear. From good old boys to true gentlemen, we can help you find the right hat.

Hat Anatomy

Most hats are composed of three basic parts. Hats may also have a lining to add warmth or absorb sweat. 

Dressy Hats

Whether you're a man with someplace important to be or just one with impeccable taste, you can't go wrong with putting on a hat. trench coat, and a fedora. Confidence is very important in these situations; a lack thereof and people will assume you showed up in costume. Remember, as with any suit or formalwear accessory, you've got to have a sense of color. A A Man of All Seasons As the seasons change, so should your hat of choice. Each season has its own requirements if you're going to wear something on your head, so by all means change them out as needed. After all, the hat you wear the week before Thanksgiving isn't going to be all that comfortable the week after Memorial Day.

Face Shape

Symmetry is the essential component of attractiveness. Depending on the shape of your face and which of your features stand out, you might style your hair or facial hair in different ways to offset the stronger characteristics of your face, like a large forehead or a cleft chin. Hats should be chosen the same way. Any old hat can fit on your head, but a well-chosen accessory will balance the proportions of your face and enhance your natural charms. !

Costume Hats

Hats aren't always purely functional. Sometimes the boy in you really wants to play private eye or explorer. These hats may not be the most fashion forward, but when they're not making your desk look cool, they're there for secret pretend time.

Size Info

Unless you've got a milliner on stand by, you're going to have to measure your head yourself, especially if you're buying online. Keep whatever number you end up with in your head. There's no real hat size standard, so an exact number is more helpful for purchases than saying you're a "Large" or a 7 1/4. This is especially true if you're trying on a new hat style, which may fit you differently depending on the maker.
