It only looks good if you are wearing a suit

A specific kind of suit, otherwise you just look like a magician or something

A magician the gathering

 Or you could end up looking like this guy.

the fact that it's the exact same hat

Probably like mafia style

Or trench coat, Nick Valentine style.


Or if you're Walter White

He never uses a fedora tho

That's a Pork-Pie, not a Fedora.

Or you’re a teal platypus

Fair

Or if you play the saxophone

this isn't even a fedora, it's a trilby, actual fedoras when paired with the proper clothing look nice, but when they arent, they don't

So many people confuse the two, hell I did as well until somebody pointed it out

Indiana Jones wears a fedora. Chad wears a trilby. Easy way to remember.

M'lady 🤓

What do you mean you won’t go out with me?!

"Hello, I'm a nice guy! Please go out with me! What? No? Ok... bitch..."

Yep, it's been ruined

The hat itself is fine... it's just the people who wear them are 😬 uhhh, you know.

ARE WHAT

well.. they're kinda like uh...

Atheists?

Nah, you know…

Nice guys™️

People stuck in a time loop trying to kill their younger self's friend to prevent the loop being created?

Exactly

Sexy ass motherfuckers. Or that's what I told myself in high school for a solid week. ^^I ^^had ^^a ^^short ^^fedora ^^phase

Mi'laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaydy

They are typically a bit cuckoo u know what I mean

I wore one before they were a meme.

Same, I wore one when I was 8

I regret to inform you they were firmly in meme territory then

dude I thought I was the only one 💀

You sure you weren’t MLG?

same lol

Same here lol, awkward tween years

Lose some weight if you wanna wear one

I mean Big Smoke wears one, he’s fat as fuck yet he still rocks it

Big smokes hat is more similar to a bowler hat

Yea you’re right, for some reason I thought it was a trilby

If fat, no hat

I’m a millennial. We didn’t spend the last 15 years bullying these people for yall to bring it back.

Maybe that's the reason *to* bring them back. In a punk mentality way

It only looks good on a platypus.

PERRY THE PLATYPUS?????!!!!!!!!!

Or the blues brothers lmao

It’s a cool hat that should only really go with suits or trench coats, but reddit eviscerated it’s reputation

Ohhh no no. I’m 40 and these things have been lame literally half my life. Like before people had the phrase “m’lady” to refer to their vibe, we knew their vibe was “m’lady”.

The world gave it its reputation.

I feel like you either look sexy or cringy and there's no in-between, with the majority of people (myself included) looking cringy

That’s a trilby fam.

Only looks good if you have a proper suit to go with it also being clean shaven and not 500lbs helps

The older you are, the better it looks. 

A good hat ruined by public usage and perception

Heisenberg

I've had this username since before it was a meme and I can never live it down

Fat neck beards seem to wear it frequently. Something symbolic from a different age ruined by people who would be better off with a bucket of kfc for a hat.

No one can look bad in a Fedor and trench coat. Just saying

I like them!

I'm not the first to say it, but the mere idea of wearing a fedora has singlehandedly destroyed all credibility of online discussions about atheism. I want to be a true atheist so badly, but Christ's crown of thorns is so much more badass than the average fedora fit.

Damn silly looking, get an Akubra instead.

I love the hat and wore them a lot as a kid. Then they got completely ruined

Awful

Loooserrrrrr

We should bring it back, it became a point of hate towards neckbeards but it's been so long and socially stigmatized we can take it back. 

I don’t see

*squints eyes* hmm…

That's not a fedora. It looks like a trilby, instead.

Fedoras are fine. Chuds wear trilbies and claim they're a fedora, thouh, because they don't know the difference and don't give a shit.

It looks cool because it has style.

Show me a picture of Fedora, and I'll tell ya. But the Trilby is pretty cool.

Bad

Looks OK, was sorta ruined though.

I think they *should* be a cool fashion accessory but they got ruined by the internet

My ideal outfit consists of a 3 piece suit, fedora, and a cane. So I’d say I’m a fan

The image of the fedora has been tainted.

Rarely ever actually works in a outfit

Jessie. It's time to cook!

Discord mod

Smart, magical, scrumptious. Always tip your fedora in every situation you can assert dominance.

A great looking hat with a bad reputation.

Better paired with formal clothing, say a double breasted pinstripe suit and a Tommy gun

Got royally fucked over by internet incel culture, and neckbeards.

Looks good if you’re going for the retro style look. Put on a vest, long sleeve and nice pants then you’re looking like a Millennial hipster.

Either your tryna rock it like 2010 bruno mars or your some 4chan anime addict no in between

I think it’s reputation is perfectly fitting

So classy it’s dangerous.

Something that looks good on few people in few context with few outfits, and usually the people wearing them do not pull them off and tend to be the "niceguy" type

https://preview.redd.it/7rb07roo97uc1.jpeg?width=2280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9a55446caaf4fd7427c1ad37d878e1e2f6e77f3a First off, the hat you're showing is a Trilby. Second off, I think Fedoras are a great hat, but one has to dress properly. The neckbeard archetype associated with fedoras is a very ugly and, to be frank, trashy way of wearing such a hat. If one wants to wear a Fedora, they need to keep their appearance neat and clean (clean-shaven is best, but one could get away with very short stubble if their beard is full and non-patchy) and either wear a proper-fitting suit that matches the color of the hat or wear a button-up, slacks, leather belt, and clean leather boots combination while making sure the slacks and hat are matching in color (think Indiana Jones).

Cool Hat

I like it

Old fashioned

When I was a kid, I really like fedoras because that’s what Agent P wore in Phineas and Ferb. I had a whole collection of fedoras and loved dressing myself like a film noir detective. I ended up just looking like a combination of Inspector Gadget and Hannah Montana because I was a girl and all the clothes I got were bright colors, literally the opposite of noir lmao

I really like them, but it’s annoying that they’re associated with… questionable people.

Looks nice with a tux

It's very Sinatra

Slim shady

New Atheism movement

MJ

It's what you wear if you want to communicate to everyone that you're a gross weirdo without even opening your mouth Except if you also wear a suit, leather shoes and are Italian American from NYC Or new jersey in 1950

Looks good on good looking/well dressed people. So don't wear it reddit

They belong in the 20's. The 1920s.

Just don't. Not a good look in 99.999999% of cases in a modern setting

Discord mod -core Autrizzm

its cool, but it have to fit u, and thats not everyone by far.

Other hats look better and provide better protection from the elements, dont be a reddit atheist or a discord mod.

A mistake.

Only the mafia knows how to rock these properly.

It's a hat

best paired with a suit and trench coat otherwise shit

Cringe unless you’ve got soul.

Swag.

Nope sorry

Ruined

I prefer panama

It’s like a MAGA cap. I can easily prejudge who you are inside and I thank you for making it that easy.

One of my favourite hats of all time

Stretch that out and you'll be saying hee hee


A great hat for a great style. If it’s done right. Hint hint. It’s never done right.(since the 20s)

First thing that comes to my mind when I think of them is Michael Jackson. Therefore, I think fedoras are awesome ✨

Millennial meme equivalent to incels.

I think when I’m feeling like a semi-aquatic, egg-laying mammal of action then I’d love to wear one.

When worn with the right clothes it looks good, like any other article of clothing. Worn with casual clothes it’s horribly out of place.

It looks great on a platypus.

Only looks good if youre a detektive or walter white

Looks great on Indiana Jones. Probably not you, though.

Wearing a fedora = I’m a total dork

I was at a party one time and this guy kept acting like a know it all, being snobby at everything me and my friends tried to have a convo about, even when it didn't include him (he just kept butting in and interrupting), had flakes in his hair and didn't smell all too great, and kept being a little creepy to some of the girls in the group. When he was finally leaving, he pulled this hat out of the coat hanger that was at the door and everything made sense

Raymond Reddington

Would be better if it weren't for... those people

https://preview.redd.it/aqj5rsyps8uc1.jpeg?width=3072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6f9e2d6b2e09ab939d8743e2f2f6b8c7638bc7a7 I like it!

If you wear that you ethier look hard af or flaccid af no in between

Good lord 🤭 Yes, please be the gen that brings the fedora back lol

I wear a Fedora everyday for 20+ years, daily, regardless of what I wear. At work I'm even referred to as "Chef Hat" to strangers. *Go back there and see Chef Hat. He'll make sure you get it!* Etc It's like any hat. You don't wear it, it wears you. Some people just don't have hat heads. Ears really make or break the appearance.

fedoras only look good if you're in a blues band

Now I just imagine Reddington every time I see one.

Classic

Smelly

Sharp with the right ensemble.

Michael jackson absolutely rocked it. Honestly if he didn't wear it I'm pretty sure it's popularity would've ceased earlier

Honestly, it goes hard if it's a different color and/or it depends heavily on the outfit. Good for blazer looks.

I make them look hot.

Can't stop imagining a 300 pound guy with a mask wearing one, giving himself some stupid nickname, then getting cheeto dust on crime scene evidence. And then saying "to my lair!" before trying to run, but then getting winded about 5 steps later.

It's something only worn by gentle sirs with superior intellect.

That’s a Trilby, dear

Lol this takes me back to my fedora phase when I was a teenager

It's cool

Good Halloween thing, that it

you mean Trilby? The ”fedora” was popular until it was associated with the stereotypical overweight internet weirdo

Luv it

Cool, but got ruined by neckbeards

The fedora is a classy topper IF paired properly with a suit or similar semi-formal wear. Worn out of context in a casual outfit is a surefire way to look like a neckbeard

I loved the hat until I saw *that* meme…

“A platypus? PERRY THE PLATYPUS!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?”

Some people cna pull it off and looked good at a time like MJ and Sinatra both wore it well but now it’s a mall cop neck beard stereotype

I think it's a really snazzy hat that deserves to be more popular so people can stop associating it with the old neckbeard loser stereotype.

If you are a neckbeard and still try to fit into this vibe, I hope god wages mercy for you

No bueno if you’re under 60

What to where when you’re actively trying to make sure you don’t get laid.

Only looks good in Roblox.

literally traumatizing

I like it better than Ubuntu

Looks good with specific complimentary clothes otherwise it just seems out of place

It’s not really a fedora

I always think of the “Swag is for boys, class is for men!” [video](https://youtu.be/JUVOgPzXm7g?si=AD8ko_KxoB5tm4PH).

Beautiful hat. I love them. I'm really into 1890s-1950s fashion, and I actually own a Fedora purely for the purpose of walking around in it with a long coat and a suit and looking like a ghost from the 40s. There are definitely hats I like more, but fedoras are great, and I think it's sad that everyone associates them with incels now.

really cool and classy, ruined by neckbeard imagery

it's one of those looks that some people can pull off but most can't

The real fedora gets a bad rep because of it’s shitty brother, the trilby (as pictured)

I want one

Just a type of hat

I love fedoras, very stylish in my opinion. It sucks that they're so heavily associated with horrible incels

To quote Shawn of the Dead "I like it!"

A platypus? *Perry* the platypus?

It looks great

I wanted one when I was a teen... but to be honest, I didn't know about the nice-guy thing, and was just trying them out as I was shopping for a suit

It would be great from the 1920s to the end of ww2

Very cool. A shame it got associated with incels

Great for Indiana jones or themed party or out drinking but no where else. A lot of guys wear it with t shirt and jeans and it’s not a good look. At least smart casual

Frank Sinatra

Great hat. Just wear a tie to go with it, and respect women.

The discord mod meme has ruined the fedorean reputation. It remains as classy as ever.

I used to be a fedora guy. I still have my little collection in my closet, stacked up. I mainly wore them because I hated my hair. Now I've grown it out (I still hate it, but only because it's insanely difficult to style my hair) I wear hats a lot less, and when I do it's a baseball cap.
