Men’s Hats
Here is a stylish selection of men’s hats that will leave your head feeling warm and dapperly attired.
Still Life Carver
The subtle plaid and hunting style of this men’s hat brings practical function to your daily battle against the elements. Lower the earflaps and secure them under your chin for even more protection against the wind. You’ll be glad you opted for this model with thickly cut fabric and utilitarian form on that first windy day of the season, and you’ll notice more than a few gentlemen sporting this hat with their overcoats buttoned up and their earbuds firmly in place.
Borsalino Casual Hat
If you walk to work, use public transit or enjoy a brisk country walk, you will want — or, dare I say, need — this hat. Comfort and style rarely find a happy union in men’s hats, but here it is in a neat, affordable, hunting-inspired Scottish walking hat that can be worn with almost anything. Take note of the hatband with a buckle instead of a manufactured bow and you’ll be sporting timeless fashion on your head.
Akubra Walking Hat
No, it’s not a fedora, but it is just as functional and stylish as its larger cousin. Remember Brando in The Godfather as the aging Don Corleone chasing his grandson through the garden? This is the hat. In fact, Brando used this style throughout the film to help punctuate the casual fashion style of his character, but you can wear it to add that special dash of casual elegance to your attire. And the brim of this men’s hat is perfect for keeping the wind and sun out of your eyes.
Still Life Wetherby
This Wetherby from Still Life borrows a few elements of the Chairman Mao cap, but updates the look stylishly with stitching across the front bill, and decorative buttons and a double fold of fabric along the sides and back. The squared front and unique choice of fabric give this Wetherby an ultra-fashionable look and it is by far the most casual style of the men’s hats profiled. Pair it with a pea coat and jeans or a military jacket and you’ll create a complete ensemble for the weekend. Just don’t wear it with an overcoat or you’ll risk looking like a second-rate diplomat just off the jet.
