I wish fedoras didn't have the reputation they do. My wife thinks I look sharp in a fedora.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 42 points 7 months ago (1 children)

People don’t think some guy and his wife look like losers when he’s wearing a fedora. People think a single guy in a graphic tee with a fedora looks like a loser. Go dress sharp, the only people whose opinions of your appearance matter seem to like it when you wear one.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 24 points 7 months ago (1 children)

What about a guy in a graphic tee with a fedora with his wife?

[–] KrankyKong@lemmy.world 27 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Depends on how greasy they both look.

[–] Daxter101@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 7 months ago

I mean, no matter how greasy they look, they're together, good for them.

I think it depends on how shitty they're behaving.

[–] blanketswithsmallpox@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

From all the sex they're having? Because you're there too on the sex tarp?

[–] KrankyKong@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago (3 children)

Wtf is a sex tarp, and why would anyone need one?

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

A tarp you have sex on because you're having a greasy orgy

[–] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Wait a second. You don't have a sex tarp?

[–] radicalautonomy@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I shared a house with a partner during the pandemic. She was a gusher. So to save having to wash and replace her sheets all the time, she'd lay a dog blanket down any time she was having sex. And we are polyamorous, so she was having a fair amount between me and her two other partners.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

This was way more personal information than I was hoping to get from anyone today.

[–] radicalautonomy@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

My guy wanted an example, I gave him an example.

[–] Karyoplasma@discuss.tchncs.de 19 points 7 months ago (1 children)

There is a saying in German: Haste Hut an, biste gut an.

It translates to "If you are wearing a hat, you are dressed well."

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 27 points 7 months ago (2 children)
[–] hikaru755@lemmy.world 19 points 7 months ago

The German saying says "Hut", which is a less broad term than the English "hat". And it definitely does not include that.

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

but its one of the best blue nile albums :(

[–] Hootz@lemmy.ca 1 points 7 months ago

Yea but hat also killed 23 baby's so there's that. I sure as hell don't think he should be freed even if it was self defense.

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 13 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

I personally wear hats. A fedora is one of them. It can be hard to dress for, but I tend to underdress rather than overdo it because wearing it casually doesn't make me look like an internet meme. Helps to be a bit older, too.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 18 points 7 months ago (3 children)

I just feel like an asshole when I wear one now. Or more of an asshole than usual anyway.

[–] EpeeGnome@lemm.ee 13 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (2 children)

The trick is what you wear with it. Yeah, if you wear it with an edgy t-shirt, cargo pants, and a trench coat people will think you're an asshole. If you instead wear it with, for example, a casual button down shirt, sturdy slacks, and in colder weather a light leather jacket, people will think you look like Indiana Jones. I know because that's how I usually dress and random people compliment me on that. As long as the outfit suits the hat, people will see it in the way you mean it.

~~There's no saving the Trilby hat though, there's no outfit that makes it work.~~ Edit: I was wrong. Even the Trilby can be cool.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I wear a trilby and get compliments frequently. People tell me I look like: The Blues Brothers, Inspector Gadget, Dick Tracey, and one guy called me Inspector Clouseau.

[–] EpeeGnome@lemm.ee 5 points 7 months ago

Damn, you're right. I didn't think about the Blues Brothers, who do in fact look very cool in trilbys. I guess it just requires the right accompaniment like any hat. I apologize.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

You know what I like? The bowler. I've never had one, but I like bowler hats.

[–] EpeeGnome@lemm.ee 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

My brother has a bowler. It can look damn stylish with the right clothes, and downright silly with the wrong ones. I can't wear one though, I look silly in them no matter what I wear it with.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I don't mind looking silly in a bowler.

[–] EpeeGnome@lemm.ee 3 points 7 months ago

Then get one. Live the dream!

[–] 0ops@lemm.ee 7 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Wear the fedora, don't be an asshole, then you'll change their perception an interaction at a time. Fuck the strangers

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 points 7 months ago (1 children)

You're telling me not to be self-conscious in public? You're almost 47 years too late for that one I'm afraid.

[–] 0ops@lemm.ee 6 points 7 months ago

Yeah there's the rub 🤷

[–] Good_morning@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Exactly, I mean trends change. Who would have guessed the mullet would return, but here we are

[–] froh42@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

Groaan, my 17y old sun is currently intentionally growing a mullet.

Can't the trauma be enough? I already grew up in the 80s.

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

I mostly wear it when it's hot and sunny. The wide brim is very useful in the sun.

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 9 points 7 months ago

I wouldn't worry about it. The people who have weird prejudices against fedoras don't get outside very often.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I wear a trilby. Most people think it's a fedora

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Whenever I hear the word 'trilby' it immediately makes me think of the song Gone to the Dogs by Squeeze because it has the line "in old overcoats and trilby hats."

[–] go_go_gadget@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)
[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Dude, it was a song from the 90s. I mean I know that doesn't make me young, but...

[–] go_go_gadget@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

I'm just playing man my bad. ❤️

[–] maniclucky@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)
[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

No, but I do appreciate his reviews

Edit: though it would have been nice to be able to tell my old employer to kick rocks

[–] maniclucky@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

I've had to stop listening to his review. Not because I don't like them, but because I'm way too impressionable with negative reviews and it turns me away from too many things. I miss it.

Edit: spelling and grammar
