A Sartorial Question: Do you Fit Hat to Clothes or Other Way 'Round

[randooch]

I wear two or three different hats a day.I don't worry if they go with my clothes or not.They're just hats.

Me too, and my choice of hats is based more on mood than clothing.

Typically, I pick the clothes first. Some days I just want to wear a particular hat, so in that case I would pick the hat first and clothes to go with it.

Ditto, but it's usually clothes first.

Changing my answer: I'd pick the hat first, but I find it tough to get the t-shirt over my head with the the hat on.

... by the way, I just knew someone wouldn't resist picking choice #4.

I work in Washington, where the weather dictates all. It's conservative vintage clothes for the weather, then hat for the clothes. Won't wear the felt when it's 100 with high humidity!

Things were a lot simpler when my mom used to pick out my clothes...

that should have been option 5

 

[MikeBravo]

Upon thinkingabout it, I choose both together. An ensemble if you will

Mind you, for work I only have two hats to choose from, though I may wear my Panama when it gets warmer.

Interestingly, for work I would prefer a stingy straw rather than a panama style with a wider brim

Hats are accessories. They need to accessorize something.

you're on a roll, michaelshane! don't stop there.
I'm kind of with you there. I just get dressed and throw on whatever hat I'm in the mood for-- it's nice to have some versatile ones-- however I usually check before leaving the house that I don't completely look like a clown, at least by my perception...

I have two vintage fedoras (black and fawn) that I prefer wearing and a modern grey one that I dislike, but do wear on occasion so I tend to buy my clothing with my vintage lids in mind.

Just curious what is the grey one you don't like? That black one is badass in person!
