Default Fashion question

I have a feeling this is like asking what wine goes best with a hotdog, but I have no fashion sense, so I'm going to ask it anyway:

Summertime, I usually wear T-shirts and jeans. Sometimes, I wear the short-sleeved pullovers with a collar and 2 buttons (hopefully, you know what I'm talking about. When I work in the office, I'll just wear shorts. I think this all changes what hat a slick-headed full-bearded guy guy chooses.

I think the fedora looks terrible unless I'm wearing long sleeves ... and usually a jacket. I don't like baseball caps unless I'm going to a baseball game, or fishing, or picking berries. The other style of hat I wear is a flat cap.

I'm unsure about the flat cap with a T-shirt ... I see other people wearing that, but it doesn't help me make up my mind on it.

What are your thoughts? Does a flat cap go with that? if not, what other styles would?

Sorry shy I'm at a loss. Pidge buys my clothes and most times lays them out for me. Not because I'm lazy or need to be mothered....it's because I'm color blind. I would go out looking like bozo if I picked my own clothes. LOL

Amen, sister!

I like flat caps. A step-up from a baseball cap.

I'm not colorblind, but I'm about as bad for fashion sense. When my wife and I go shopping, I make a joke with her where I hold up a shirt and ask, "Honey, do I like this?"

CLucas, these are flat caps, although there are only maybe 3 or 4 in that picture that I might wear. I may not have much fashion sense, but even I can see a few of those as gaudy

Love flap caps. But in my day, they were "news boy caps".

shy guy if you wear it with attitude you can away with pretty much anything....except a fedora with a t-shirt, definitely NOT in my opinion

a flat cap can work thought

I wish more people wore hats

I can't remember the last time I didn't buy second-hand. I love the thrill of the treasure hunt. Today I wore an adorable paisley print silk flippy skirt that I got for $1.

SG, I think flat caps go with everything. My husband wears his all the time, with anything and I love it. It's sexy and it's classy imo.

ladyfrog I am a consignment freakazoid. Mostly because I don't like current styles all that much and because it allows me to afford clothes I'd never be able to afford otherwise. In a town by me we have a namebrand consignment shop that is two stories large and carries everything from BCBG Max azria to Coach but also has a vintage section. I actually don't spend more than a few bucks a year on clothes because I consign my clothes I'm sick of for credit and shop like every other week or so for fun. LOVE IT!

I'm also a a yard sale freakazoid for everything from furniture to the cages that house my kids' various pets.

I knew it! I could tell from your shop. You had tons of tempting finds for me there! Love your style!
