Hello,
The idea for this thread came from the recent thread about Dressing Down a Homburg - the concept was mentioned there.
So, that's pretty much it. Do you pick up your clothing according to the hat you wear? Even more, has wearing a hat influenced the acquisition and selection of, at least, some of your wardrobe?
Personally, I tend to "dress up" when wearing a hat - specially at the beginning, I felt like I did not feel like hats fitted with too casual clothing. Eventually I went past this, and I incorporate hats with the greater part of my outfits, although I do exercise some distinction: I normally wear classic style fedoras with dressier clothes, and stingies with more casual outfits (generally is the important word, I do some crossover, it depends on the particular case, some hats seem more versatile than others).
Not that my most usual dressier is really very dressier, consisting of suit or sports jacket with tie or bowtie, coupled with jeans or similar casual trousers. I wear suits sometimes, too.
BTW, I also have some Newsboy caps, which I use in various dress levels.
Any contributions on the subject?
Regards!
