JFK wearing a topper
I really liked how Reagan looked with a cowboy hat.. Kind of a way to send a message of who the boss was...Nixon wore a fedora in office, too. Reagan wore cowboy hats. According to threads right here, the hat industry was noticing the decline in sales starting the the 1930s. My guess is that it started when men started worrying more about their hairstyles.

Kennedy, in my humble opinion, does not look sharp on a hat...

Looks like he kept the same bash though.LBJ rocked a good Stetson:
And also looked pretty good in a fedora:

Agree,LBJ looked comfortable in his.I agree, he never looks as though he is comfortable in any of the photos. He wasn't a natural hat person.
Sounds plausible! He seemed pretty bright - and why waste buttons, that are never buttoned?JFK was also known for his two-button suits. Did you notice that he frequently buttoned both of them?
Not at all surprising to anyone, who was around during the 70s. Most of us then youngsters spend hours and weeks in front of a mirror to fine-tune the absolutely right bum-like casualness. Full blown vanity, indeed!It is surprising the way someone you would least expect to be conscious of their appearance can be sometimes.
Sure I follow you! That's what vanity is all aboutIt wasn't so much that they wanted to look a certain way; it was more like they wanted to avoid looking certain other ways, if you follow me.
The idea was that you wanted to show the world you were doing fine. My parents, who grew up during the Depression, always asked me, "Why do you want to look like an old bum?" I can still hear them.I think my uncle, as well as most people, were conscious of their appearance only in a negative way. It wasn't so much that they wanted to look a certain way; it was more like they wanted to avoid looking certain other ways, if you follow me. In other words, they didn't care how they looked. But they were very careful about how they didn't want to look.
Spot on! And we still wanted to look like bums - just to distance ourselves from old, grey and conservative people. Pure vanityThe idea was that you wanted to show the world you were doing fine.

I never thought of myself as looking like a bum: rather, a young, dashing Woody Guthrie who would solve the world's problems and meet admiring girls. My problem was always that I wanted to combine that look with the British rockstar look, which took some doing.Spot on!
