As someone who is rather fashion inept, can someone suggest a good casual men's hat?

I do like to see a man in a fedora, and if you want it for casual wear just wear it casually (and you get to snap the brim).

For extra points, touch the brim when you greet me! I have a European friend who does that and I love it (mind you he also kisses my hand, at which point I'm purring)

Perhaps a straw fedora?

So much of the attractiveness of clothes depends on how they are worn 😀

Whatever you chose, wear it with what I can best describe as 'negligent self-confidence'

Go with functional. It needs a brim on the front to shade eyes from the sun. The back should be adjustable, but not have a big gap where bugs will bite you. Do not buy anything with a metal rivet at the top as it will burn your head in the sun.
A boating sail hat is nice, with a chin strap, and the top is very light so it's good in hot weather. Probably not the coolest look though. Some pageboy hats look alright, but maybe those are for older guys.
Forget cowboy hats, those are ridiculous in the car even though they are fun to wear, you look like a dork.
Turban perhaps?

Any will do. Just put a lid on it 😁 lol Just kidding. Yeah I have to figure out my own style. Have to try them on fedora, bowler hat, Dr. Seuss' Cat in the Hat's hat, etc

Davey Crockett (seen here with a very young Jed Clampett) started a fad with his coonskin hat - maybe you can help revive interest in it 😁

For what outfit? And is your aim to fight off cold or heat, or just for fashion?

There's plenty of types for men's hat. So it depends.

Take a look at this chart I found


Maybe this chart might help you

I don't think fedoras necessarily create negative connotations for people, but I also don't consider them a casual hat. Unfortunately, that doesn't really leave any. Unless somebody else knows of one I'm not thinking of.

A Panama? There are a lot of different materials. Even leather. or "Gater"

Fishing hat then?

A beret, maybe

I always think that a man looks more handsome in a Panama

Surely a Panama would suit the climate.

don't wear a hat

Try a triby,


Or a flat cap,

Interesting that there is a special category for baseball caps, but not hats

Get a fez. Fezzes are cool.
