Fedoras: Hot or Not?

[An Unknown Pony. 370]

M'Lady,I've come to impress you with a hat of class.

Jokes aside,i like fedoras,but i don't know why it is so hated ,they're nice hats and all,but why does there be negative stereotypes

[Megas 27,568]

They look good when you're appropriately dressed for them, not when you're wearing fucking Pokemon/MLP/other nerdy T-shirts, and unfortunately the latter became too common. That's why so many people started hating them

Fedoras are fine, trilbys on the other hand...

[IcyHaze 594]

It really depends on the person to be honest. I've worn trillbies and the like in the past, and I THINK I got away with them, but some poeple just look awful.

[I used to be a stranger 7,993]

You can only wear fedoras when your age is a sum of two greater-than-ten primes.

You know, I have honestly never understood the hype around these things. They definitely do not look bad at all and they look better than standard caps of any kind, that is for certain, but I really don't know what makes them so special. I see them as a bit...overrated. Then again I don't own one but I have never seen them as 'hot' when others wear them either. I am just thinking "Oh, a hat. Cool.", not much more beyond that.

[Sekr Gray 520]

The hat itself is not that bad, when worn right. My own suit that I wear with my own pinstriped fedora is not the best thing ever, but it works a fair deal better than anything else I own. The whole culture surrounding them is, however, a little sad, when people will start judging you from a hat, of all things. 

[SparklingSquirrels 21,332]

I'm not a big fan of them. Fedoras can be fine if worn with a nice suit, but other than that they just look tacky.

 

But if someone wants to wear a fedora with totally un-matching clothes, then I won't judge them for it. There's much more to someone than their hat choices

[best poni 1,518]

I like them. I have one fedora that I wear occasionally that I got recently.

[CandyStrike 603]

I think they look silly.  Not worth the drama.

[PastelBread 147]

Fedoras are awesome! I love them. I used to wear them a lot but I don't really wear them anymore.

[Samurai Equine 50,999]

Wow. Another topic about fedoras and trilbys? Where have I been? 

 

Since I don't want to overwhelm people with a wall of text, I'll put my personal opinion in the Spoiler tag. Not going after anyone personal, just sharing my thoughts.

 

 

 

I agree with anyone who says it's ludicrous to judge someone based on a measly fashion accessory, fedora or not.

It practically becomes sad when you realize some of the people who say this are also bronies and pegasisters. You know, members of the fandom that is suppose to be tolerant and loving and what not. Remember that? No, of course not. Since when was that ever a thing.  :comeatus:

 

But what I find THE MOST hilarious is people who try to backtrack. They say they hate the hat and anyone who looks good in it, but then you show them a pic of Indiana Jones or someone who is wearing a suit, and suddenly they're like "Well now, hold on, I didn't mean EVERYBODY-everybody..." Yes, buddy, you go ahead and save face as much as possible! 

 

Personally? I'm not like that. I AVOID being irrational whenever possible. If I feel a certain way, I have explainable reasons WHY I feel that way. And I will often re-evaluate myself from time to time just to see if my personal views are still rational or not.

And even if I do have an irrational outlook on something that I cannot explain past "I just feel that way", then I'll be the first to say "Heck yes, I'm being irrational!". I won't try to save face or anything. I'm real like that. I'm a very consistent person.

 

And I think, if all the people who "hate fedoras" just take a moment to look inside and ask themselves "Why do I hate fedoras?", they'll find out that it's really not about the hat. It's about a person or a type of person that offends them most of all. That or probably crowd mentality, but I hope not. Following the crowd instead of thinking for yourself is the worst way to live.

 

 

 

But getting back on topic; I honestly don't care. A hat is just a fashion accessory, nothing more. 

I do take fashion very seriously, and I own a variety of hats. Yes, I do own a couple of trilby's and fedoras. However, I also own just about every other kind of hat under the sun. From ball caps to the asian conical hat; and everything in between. And yes, I know how to dress and correctly accessorize with each of them.

 

If this makes me a piece of trash that you never want to hang out with, your loss I guess. We'll never geek out over video games, watch TV shows together, make our import action figures battle each other, or do anything fun. Heck, if you're willing to give me a shot and become my friend, I'd return the favor and try out stuff that you like; even if it's not something I'd normally try out myself.

YES! I do have a personality. I am not some walking stereotype, I do not have a neck beard, and I am very nice once you get to know me. Who knew. 

[CT-1138 3,182]

I enjoy a well made Stetson the most, but I've become rather partial to the newsboy caps lately. 

[Black Sabbath 2,486]

I hate fedoras with a passion.

[Vendi 407]

I like ALL the hats always.

and I wear a fedora. yes.

I own a black fedora, but i rarely wear it. It looks nice, but it isn't really my thing.

I like the wings, and the rainbow-colored band is a nice touch. However, for once, I think it would actually look better on a different kind of hat. I honestly could never see Rainbow Dash wearing a trilby or a fedora. I could never see her acting like a mafia member, a hard boiled detective, nor could I see her just wearing a suit. It took Rarity some convincing just to get her to come around on dresses. If you were being true to RD's personality, I'd put those accessory pieces on blue ball cap, or maybe one of those peaked officer caps if you want more of an air force/wonderbolts look.
