Wearing hat cocked to the side..

[Anachronism]

I have two fedoras, one that has a bow on it and is really just a feminine version of a fedora. That one naturally tilts to the side and is ment to be worn that way.

I have another one that is a men's fedora (i had to find a really small size!) and it does not work tilted to the side.

so, I think it's more about the hat then the person. Most men look much more dapper with a non-tilted fedora, in my opinion.

Wearing the hat tilted to the side has a certain rakish look that is appealing.
I wear my fedora canted toward the front of the head, thus getting more shade from the hat brim over the eyes.

I'll forgo the comments on the racy pics of Ms. Anniston

As to the topic, like Sinatra, Bing and Dean sang in Robin and the 7 Hoods:
"..a flower's not a flower if it's wilted...
A hat's not a hat, till it's tilted..."
You've Either Got, or you haven't got STYLE!

There are racy pics? She's got clothes on, for God's sake. She's looking good.


As for slanted/tilted hats. There are those who have their hats cocked to the same angle every time. There are even those that claim that it is wrong to wear a fedora in any other way; that it is somehow not "vintage accurate", whatever on earth that means. I find that obsessive cocking of the hat often tends to come off as forced or contrived. And contrived is never cool, and certainly not stylish.

I pay no attention as to whether my hat is straight or crooked. So long as it's comfortable, i go nowhere near a mirror or take any notice of the angle of cockedness.

My father really knew how to give a hat the ol' Southside Slide:

Nice pics, Gene! Your father definitely had style, and only the best of the best today could even get close to matching the style shown in those photographs.

In the Marine Corps uniform regulations, the Garrison cover (piss cutter) is meant to be worn at "a rakish angle" (as per NCO handbook 1956).

...my new hat will NOT tilt.[huh] and I kinda like it better straight oh well.
