We saw a bunch of teenage boys wearing fake fur hats like these, and my husband and I were discussing how they looked (i.e. the boys seemed to think they were looking hawt, but they just looked silly to me). I’m not sure if they actually DO look really stupid, or if they just look stupid to me because I’m far too old to be their target audience.
What do you think? Young guys in fake fur hats with attached glove things - hot or not? (Assume that the guys in the hats are just regular looking teenage boys, not models or anything.)
I remember because I laughed myself silly wondering how big a space would clear out around me if I could manage to wear all 4 things at once in public.
ETA: I don’t think the makers intend them to be ironic or a joke at all. I think they’re deluded and possibly bats hit crazy, but I don’t think they’re intended as a comedy item.
One of my friends companies produces and sells similar designs. They sell along side other hats like Mario caps, Top hats, and other odd designs. They are primarily sold at Anime conventions. Sexy certainly isn’t how I’d describe them. They fall into the silly hat category that is very popular with that crowd.
These were actually trendy with super fashion forward people a few seasons ago, but it’s all gone to hell since then. Now, they are sold at Target and Hot Topic, so you seen teenage boys wearing them somewhat ironically.
Yeah, this is definitely one of those things you wear knowing how silly, ridiculous it makes you look. “Ironic” is a good way to describe it, but I’m not sure if many hipsters would actually wear this. Might be too mainstream for them!
Having read this before reading the article… I was in tears over how hilarious it would be to actually wear them all at once. Especially the Spirit Hat and the censorship glasses!
Aye! I’m 6’4" and over 200#… and a guy. I would think the sight of me, in a Jeankini wearing a Spirit Hat with a tiny hat on top, with those censorship-looking glasses, would send even people in Vegas looking for somewhere else to be.
The spirit hoods are of negative sexiness. A proper hood like the Nemean lion, perhaps, but not this stupid animal-ears-and-mittens combo.
The censor bar sunglasses are amusing for approximately five seconds. Definitely not sexy, unlike proper sunglasses.
The “jeankini” is almost sexy, but isn’t. I think it would look a lot better if the fake waistband didn’t go straight across - something more like this.
The tiny hat… I think it would be a multiplier. It could make the right outfit better, but in general I’d say it’s a step in the wrong direction.
