This is the only hat a grown man can get away with wearing

Now things are a little different. The guys who attempt to wear those kinds of hats - trilbies, fedoras, and panama-style hats, but also flatcaps - are aware that they're doing something a little out of the ordinary.
Basically, men should stop trying to wear these kinds of hats. Your fedora is not fun - it is an abomination. It's just not working for you.
There are two exceptions to this strict no-hat rule:
- You're one of the two people who can get away with wearing a funky hat. They are:
- A man who could have been alive when men did wear hats everyday.
- Johnny Depp and quirky people like him (and even he is pushing it).
- The hat in question is a baseball cap. While a bit sporty of a look, a baseball cap can be worn in more casual styles with a high degree of success.
That's it, and that's all. All other instances of men wearing hats come off strange and try-hard. There are so many easier ways to add interest to your outfit. There's no reason to bring headwear into this. Almost every outfit that was paired with a hat would be better without that needless addition.
Many men, however, ask how they can protect their heads from the sun in the summertime. If you don't want to wear a baseball cap, there isn't really a way to do so. Grow out your hair a little longer, and if you don't have enough to do that, wear sunscreen on your scalp.
If you're going to the beach, you can get away with a straw hat. For every day, however, you're best going uncovered.
If you'd like to get a baseball cap to protect your head this summer, our favorites are the vintage style made by Ebbets Field Flannels.
