To think that men that wear panama hats are twats?

[oilis]

Disclaimer. 70+ are acceptable as it’s much more their era.

Otherwise, every man that I’ve met that’s been say 30-40 who wore one, has been a twat. Usually arrogant, think they’re a bit posh, above everyone else. It’s such a look at me piece. Often they’re worn by people who are odd too, thinking they’re “classy”.

AIBU to loathe these things. I see them and cringe.

Oh the definitely think they're posh alright. Whether that equates to automatic twat is a matter for debate

YABVU. My lovely DH who is the least twattish person you are ever likely to meet bought one whilst on hol in the USA in April.

He is not a natural hat wearer but it really, really suits him.

He is 45.

Alain Delon in a Borsalino. Def not a twat.

I think they are a bit Man from Delmonte. Although they are very popular at Goodwood.

So Googled Borsalino.
Definitely need that AMA milliner.

Don't say that.

My grandfather wore one.

He was lovely.

Oddly enough I spotted a really old lady yesterday walking along with a zimmer frame and she was really rocking one! I thought she looked fabulous! I want to look like that at her age.

You need to move up North. Nobody here wears Panama hats

Sorry. My dad does

He’s not in the right age bracket either.

You rustled up a couple of very clear images of dickheads I know who wear Panama hats. I think anyone wears one for practicality, especially who is older will not be in this very specific bracket, but I do know exactly who you mean. Usually computer nerds who are scared of the sun and are a bit sociopathic.

You need to move up North. Nobody here wears Panama hats.

Yes they do. My aforementioned DH and fabulous old lady, that's another two.

... I would have said sun smart

@blueberriesandyogurt actually the hats I don't mind, it's more the whole stockman's ensemble. But I do love a Panama!

My ex wears one and he is a colossal twat, thinks he is cleverer than everyone else, etc, so i agree!!

Lol @Delphgue

My field research concludes that men with giant ridiculous sized beards are far more twattish than any hat wearers.

I wear one... I'm female... I love mine

My dad wears one. He is over 80. He IS a twat.
Nothing to do with the hat though. Just the fact that he is a racist, bigoted, misogynistic bastard. The hat has no bearing on these points.

So, are deck shoes ok or not, just checking for a friend

OP you are right. They are all twats.

DH (50) swapped to a Panama hat from his usual baseball cap this year, as he decided he looked like a twat in a baseball cap at his age. He looks much less twatish in a panama than a baseball cap.

Burnt heads are twattish.
And sore.

Very sensible to wear one in this weather.

practical clothing.

spew your bile at women in ugly and distorting heels, they deserve it more.

So OP, if you disapprove of Panama hats so vehemently what head gear do you favour?
I think baseball caps make people look like tits, and if you turn them backwards you automatically drop IQ by at least 20 points
