men in baseball hats.... good look or bad look?

DH needs, or thinks he needs, a hat for our short break in barcelona next months.

I think baseball caps are an extremely bad look when teamed with cropped trousers and bare feet with sandals.

Am I right? And what would be a viable alternative to baseball caps?

Thank you all in anticipation.

(which is a good thing!)

DP wears one of these. It was given to him by a US soldier in the Iraqi desert.

ah but when you put it on it looks more Justin Timberlake pimp-daddy than geriatric
like those cord trilbies they sell in Top Man
very Preston

straw cowboy hats (or anythign with a wide brim) are actually much mroe flattering as they make the jaw seem slimmer

MrsBadger · 12/07/2007 20:43

ah now that is a good shape Lyra
and they pack nice and flat
would not especially advise camouflage though

Indeed themoon.

expeLYRAmus · 12/07/2007 20:45

themoon66, that hat is strictly for the over 65s.

themoon66 · 12/07/2007 20:45

thank you for that mrsbadger. So we might be going with the straw one then.

I like that jungle/iraqi one. Although I do think of that Australian film when I look at it... the film with the big knife... name escapes me

Wearing of baseball hats would be acceptable in USA. Barcelona is different matter

they were these in barcelona

Bad look imo - a bit on the chavvy side. Even worse if back-to-front.

Actually, completely unnacceptable if back-to-front. Just makes the wearer look moronic.

Hate it hate it hate it.

It is reason #325 why most North American men are icky.

The white socks are a problem.

The pointlessly butch attitude is, too.

southeastastra · 12/07/2007 21:28

you're stereotyping baseball hat wearers nqt

southeastastra · 12/07/2007 21:28

NotQuiteCockney · 12/07/2007 21:40

No no, I'm stereotyping North American men. Who count baseball caps as formal wear.
