Men's hats and Overcoats at Pitti Uomo 2013

Normally I never follow the fashion trends, but I happened to take a look at the fashion gurus and the trend makers within street style clothing as seen from Pitti Uomo 2013. To my delight and surprise, I noted that men's hats and classical coats are making a come back. A good thing for the hat makers. Hopefully more men will join the army of men wearing hats. Looking forward to that.
Classical hats and overcoats, the gent (Left) in a classical double breasted (8-3) navy overcoat, bow tie and a brown Homborg hat. All three men are very classically dressed and very inspiring.
I added the below photo just as a reminder that back in the day (1930's) when things were not looking that bright, men used to dress properly even when standing in line for a job. Note the hats, caps and overcoats worn by these men.
A gent in a Pork Pie Hat, what looks like a Covert Coat/Chesterfield, double breasted stripped suit, flowered tie and a very neat and well trimmed beard. Very cool.

 A gent in all shades of blue, overcoat, double breasted suit, tie, scarf and navy double monk in dark suede.
Funny hats, now this is what is called fashion, these hats remind me of pictures I have seen from the late sixties and seventies when both men and women would wear these type of hats. Since I am into classical men's clothing, I would strongly advice not to acquire this hat. Hmm ....unless you are into one of those creative businesses or you want to appease your second half. If you do get this hat, then good luck.

  4. Hi MaryamLouise,

    Thanks for your comments. I do hope men will opt for real hats, instead of the usual baseball cap, which was intended for baseball games, but .....

    Have a pleasant weekend.
