Heads Up! The Hat Trend

Edited by Kirby Marzec

Normally I think that GQ caters to the pretty-boy audience. You know, the guys who value their hair more than life itself or would slap an old woman for scuffing their Hugo Boss shoes. But for once in my life, I came across a GQ feature that is beneficial to the indie crowd…yes boys, a guide to hats! We all know that hats are becoming more and more popular this fall season, so don’t get caught wearing them the wrong way!

Let’s start with the obvious-The fedora, made popular by Frank Sinatra, is a timeless hat. Felt in the winter. Straw in the summer. Dress it up or dress it down…just make sure you wear it (or any hat for that matter) the right way:

Hats are all about framing your face. Too big, too small, wrong style…you’ve got problems. Here are a few more styles to check out:

Oh, and one last tip. Don’t choose an outfit around the hat. A man that tries too hard isn’t exactly charming…and for God’s sake, it’s an accessory.

Thanks Men Style!

Taking The Easy Way Out

The Colette x Gap pop up shop in NYC is going to be featuring these knit moustache gloves from Jack Spade. Now on any normal day I would be in full support of anything involving moustaches, but I can’t help but feel this is a stupid cop out way of going about something. Not only will it look like you have those wooly caterpillars permanantly attached to your hands, you won’t be the first one to have you Facebook pictures be you at random places across the city with your “moustache” against your face. If you’re a guy just grow a moustache, if Orlando Bloom could do it so can you. If you’re a girl get a tattoo on your finger. This whole moustache on your finger thing isn’t anything new. So don’t be a pansy about it, man up and do the real thing, it’s like buying faux fur.

Thanks to Bandish for the gloves!
