Nothing spells bad boy better than a fedora hat. Should you don one?
Why wear it?
"The resurgence in the popularity of hats is an excellent way to expand a dull wardrobe-which most men's armoires are pegged to be-and of course to cover a balding head," says Ajjampur. Innocently perched on the head, it still draws many compliments on a bold look.

How should I wear it?
Equate it to your watch: Always select the best quality. A hat is where function meets fashion. "I personally love the Ecuadorian Panama or Trilby with the tear drop crown," she says. You won't find many men emulating the classic tuxedo-fedora match for formal occasions.

"New age is casual so loose white button-down shirts, tank tops and classic khaki shorts are fedora possibilities". Always try on your hat for a good fit and for summer try cotton twill, Panama leaves or linen. To make Indian winters more wintry, go for leather, velvet or wool tweeds.
What should I avoid?
"You're playing debonair, not muscling jock. Sweats, soccer shorts, your basketball uniform (or cricket jersey) or bulky jacket: These are what a favoured baseball cap, or a beanie goes with. Not a fedora." Give it the respect it deserves by getting for a shampoo-that way when you take it off for a lady, she'll see hair she wants to run her fingers through! If you feel you can't pull it off, go graze in other clothing pastures.
