In this video men's style, grooming, fitness and lifestyle expert, Aaron Marino of www.iamalpham.com www.aaronmarino.com and www.peteandpedro.com,
talks about the different types of men's hats and how to wear them. Men's hats are a cool way to add interest and dimension to an outfit.
Up until the late 1960s, men wore hats. Aaron Marino of alpha m. gives examples from TV (Boardwalk Empire and Mad Men) as well as celebrities. For the last 40 years, the predominate hat has been the baseball cap. Well, classic men's hats are back in a big way. Men are paying attention to their entire outfit with the devil being in the details, and men are dressing with purpose.
Men can add depth and dimension to an outfit as well as elevate their style to the next level by trying new and different things like hats. Alpha is not a hat guy. He explains that he has ears to contend with. You will only know if you're a hat guy if you try and experiment. Alpha displays how hats can take an outfit from 'good to great' after discussing how to style the following:
Types of Hats
Fedora
Trilby
Homburg
Derby or bowler
Pork pie
Cowboy
Panama
Flat cap
Newsboy

You are spot on. Hats take you to the next level of looking coordinated and well dressed. I like how your hat is as unique as you are. You don't see your ears as a reason not to wear hats, but rather you find a way to create your own style by tucking one ear in. Now THAT is how to "rock" a hat. Looks great.

Also, a lot of your videos apply to what I'm trying to change in my life, so thank you for trying to help and get some positivity out there. 2. You used Matt Smith's Doctor as a hat reference. Awesome.

@Slick411 5 жыл бұрын

Some of those first pictures of “fedoras” are actually Trilbies. The Trilby is a much shorter brimmed hat, typically 2 inches or less. Most fedoras have brims of at least 2 1/4 inches, and the classic fedora, like Humphrey Bogart wears, has a brim of 2 1/2 inches.

I personally have a brown wool wide-brimmed fedora (as in, the brim is a good 2.5 or 3 inches) that works with most outfits, but goes best with a darker khaki longcoat I picked up not too long ago. Puts some artificial bulk on me (which I need), and goes well with the long-haired look that I prefer. Still yet to find _the_ shirt to go with it, but it's still a good look.

I was wondering if you had any advice on where to buy a hat, baseball and flatcap, for men with small heads. Obviously, there will be different websites. There are many for baseball caps, but when it comes to flatcaps I had found one that catered toward the shorter smaller head man, Goorin Brothers. They used to have a XS size, but they have since discontinued the size. Any idea where I could find flat caps or some other styles they have from another company for smaller sized head men.

Smaller Men's formal hats like the trilby and fedora have a pretty nasty stigma lately with the whole "neckbeard" archetype. It is going to take a pretty long time before the average guy can pick one up and put one on. That said, the long brims are looking pretty good right now.

@ThisIsMyFullName 8 жыл бұрын

+Mir ali Depends on who you are as a person. A fedora has a wider brim, giving you a more stylised and classic look, but is also more of a statement to wear. A trilby is a modern and elegant type of hat, that's popular with the ladies, but it also has some (negative) opinions surrounding it. From my experience, a fedora is more for reserved people, who can hide behind the wide brim, holding a certain type of mystery to them. While a trilby is more for confident people, who don't mind the extra attention, because who really cares what other people think. Either way, you have to go into a hat shop and take a look for yourself. Hats are like sunglasses, you have to find the one that fits your head shape.

Left out what I think is an important part of wearing a hat, and that is that a hat goes on TOP of your head, not on the back. A fedora or a bowler is not a yarmulke! A good rule of thumb is how the military wears hats. The brim should sit two finger widths above the bridge of your nose. If you have to tip it back for visibility, fine, but reseat it when you're done. And take your damn hat off inside. Hallways, corridors, lobbies are not "inside", so leave it on until you get to the office/store/wherever. And if a lady steps into the elevator with you, take it off. This little gesture is how a gentleman wears a hat!

~My problem with hats is my hair, always worried about it being tossed around and looking effed when i take it off. I like to style my hair spiked upwards and also have a relatively big melon, so most hats are rather form fitting or tight. I just about switched back to ear buds for a similar reason, it would always leave a dent in my hair(I also wasn't styling my hair then with products, just water). Watching DJs I found out I just had to shift teh band to teh back more and there will be no hair alteration. I use my headphones on average 4-12 hours a day and wear them around my neck whenever I leave teh house, on occasion I don't wear them at all. Think I might try one out sometime, maybe a Pork Pie or Panama hat.
