How to wear a fedora without looking like a neckbeard
Step. -1: Don't be overweight
Step. 0: Take care of your loving face and shave your neck
Step. 1: Find an actual fedora. None of that pinstriped stuff, and if it's from Hot Topic, just burn the forgeter and start over
Step. 2: Make sure the fedora actually fits well with your head shape, ex. a tall crowned fedora on a tall thin head makes you look like an alien
Step 3. Dress the part. Collared shirt required and a suit that either match nearly perfectly or contrast to a degree
Step 4. Be a gentlemen. For this I'm going to just copy the paragraph I'm lifting this stuff from
When in a home, restaurant, or part of a larger building that is not a hallway or lobby, take your hat off. When the national anthem of any country is being played, sung, or professionally hummed, take your hat off.
And for the love of all things good – this one brought a fit of rage out of me – when you’re visiting the museum at Auschwitz, TAKE YOUR DAMN HAT OFF.
Also I like fedoras, and I actually have an old short-brimmed fedora that belonged to my grandfather somewhere in my house, but I doubt I'll ever look good in it
