What hat looks good on a shaved head?

[dog20]

I need something that looks young, stylish, and hip.

I have to say most all vintage, and alot of modern fedoras would look great on a shaved head.

Take a look a photos on the 'What are you wearing today' fedora thread.

Most anything other than a backwards baseball hat.

I am none of the above but I do have a shaved head. What hat styles interest you may be the most important question[huh]

 

[Feraud]

With a hat no one is going to see you head.

I have a shaved head and enjoy most hat styles.
Lately I have been nitpicking and narrowing down particular crown/brim lengths that I prefer..

60s Rat Pack stingy brim??? All depends on your face shape too. Whether a wider brim or stingier.

Baseball caps aren't comfortable with no hair, so now I go about wearing a bucket hat. It however doesn't look very stylish, but it does offer good sun protection lol. As for hat styles, I am clueless about the different kinds. I saw this guy wearing a small black hat that had a flat top and the brim didn't stick out very far. I should have asked him where he got it.

I couldn't have said any better myself Maj.Nick. :eusa_clap

I'm a Stingy guy at heart but I do have wider brim fedoras as well......I must say though all of the (40+) are vintage.
It all depends on if you want protection from the sun more so or not on your face? That would decide on the legnth of your brim I guess, also your face shape like Nick mentioned.
Try a few different type of brims on and step back....look at yourself in the mirror.

Yes, and be honest with yourself as to what you see. Your first impression of a given style will be the correct one most likely. What exactly looks best to you at first sight?
(Say,...you look awfully familiar brother,.....)

I've got a shaved head too. I'm partial to the stingy brims also. But, I'm getting used to my wide brim hats too.

 

[Bingles]

I shave my head.. I only wear stingy. 2inch or less.

 

[daizawaguy]

1 7/8 - 2" !

Agreed.....without hair, stick to 2" or less. A 2" without hair compares to a 2 1/2" with hair in my opinion. In any case, the stingy look matches the closely shaved head recent fashion.

I couldn't agree more about trying on various hats styles first before buying one.
If there are no hat stores in your area, you might try Burlington Coat Factory, again if one is nearby.Check the shopping malls for Macys or Steinmart as well as they often have a few lids on hand. What will look good on you has nothing to do with a shaved head, but rather with your perception of yourself in the hats.

...or a forwards baseball cap or a sideways baseball cap, for that matter...

Yes, quite right. No loopholes! Unless you are a farmer, then it's acceptable to wear your John Deer cap while plowing the south 40.

This is something I've considered as well - as my hairline is going the way of the Buffalo more and more these days. I know one of these days in the not so distant future I'll be shaving it. I've wondered what vintage looks I could sport as such.

Here's some inspiration (and sorry for so much Billy Zane):

If you look very closely at this picture you'll notice Billy Zane there with a hat.

 

[Stoney]

Oh Yeah

I can see him now. It took a second glance to pick that up.

That sounds like it might be a porkpie. I think it's a good idea to ask when you see an interesting hat. When someone asks me about my hat I'm always glad to point them in the right direction (towards a VS custom hat). Eight panel hats are also stylish and can provide some sun protection if you get a 1930's full cut with lots of overhang on the sides and a long brim. Soft like a ball cap but with so much more style.
