Saw a gorgeous young thing wearing one today, perched on the back of her head.

Just don't think I could pull it off.

It's ok if you're starring in Magritte the Musical, but otherwise probably a little bit foolish.

MeAndMyMonkey · 29/08/2008 16:44

I think 'Cabaret', pretty much.

someone I know got married in a pinstripe suit and bowler hat, a girl by the way! She was tall, skinny with great cheekbones and looked fabulous. Don't think many could though, I certainly wouldn't, but then I look like a tw*t in any hat

Makes me think of the girl that sings in Me Too for some reason.

Therefore no.

If it looks crap on Sienna Miller, its not a good look

entitled go fug yourself

Not helping herself with the catsuit/tasselled combo either though...

I know I was really surprised myself. Sienna Miller looks like a tit but this girl really looked good in it. She had lovely titian hair in a loose ponytail at the nape of her neck. I think the hat was a bit smaller than that one Sienna's wearing.

Was just wondering if anyone had seen anyone carrying it off.

Not sure about the pinstripe wedding get-up by the way...

Somone stuck their bowler hat on me at a wedding once and virtually every person there told me how fab I looked in a bowler hat.

However, as a serious fashion statement,

Right person, right outfit, right occaision, it could work!

sagacious · 29/08/2008 17:04

surely a bowler?

sagacious · 29/08/2008 17:05

Though she probably has more than one hat...

Blu · 29/08/2008 18:06

I would look like a mad bag lady in a bowler hat.

Until I put down my bags, of course - then i would look exactly like this

Niceychops · 29/08/2008 18:15

Nope. Too 'look at me, aren't I a card!'
