Is your hat on straight?

In My Humble Opinion

Here’s a picture of Cameron Diaz

The commentary says *
Hat Trick
Cameron Diaz always has the last laugh when it comes to fashion.
At the Requiem for a Dream premiere, she wears one of her own hats–
cocked at a rakish angle, of course. *
Does anyone ever wear their hat straight, unless they are in uniform?
I can never feel comfortable unless the hat’s seated firmly on my head, which means the brim is a good 45° from the horizontal.

When I wear hats, they are rarely on straight… but my head is rarely on straight, so that may have something to do with it. :wink:

The only hat I own is a floppy fisherman’s hat, for rainy days at the beach, but I still don’t wear it. Hats just look goofy and ruin your hair.

I don’t wear many hats. If I’m at a NASCAR race I’ll wear a baseball cap to keep the sun out of my eyes, and I don’t wear that straight because that is like being Ward Burton. At the dirt track I wear my baseball cap backwards or a head kerchief – it’s at night so if i wear it front ways I can’t see as well, but I need something over my head to keep the dirt from getting all in my hair. I have a couple of cowboy hats – one of them looks better on me than the other – the Dwight Yoakam style one I wear straight because it looks good – the Garth Brooks style cheap-ass one I wear crooked slightly forward and down or else tipped way back, because it’s a cheap-ass crap hat and that’s the only way it can avoid looking stupid.

Why are hats always at a “rakish angle”? Can’t copywriters come up with another phrase?

My black trilby is always on straight.

6

I always wear my floppy green beret tilted at an angle to fall over my one eye. It makes me look more mysterious.

Baseball caps look silly when crooked, however.

7

“Rakish angle” – I’ve NEVER seen a rake wearing a hat at any angle.

8

I never wear my tilley hat at a rakish angle. Perhaps if I knew what one was I might.

I really only wear it if I’m camping, taking my dog for a walk, don’t feel like combing my hair, or if it’s raining.

It’s the best hat I’ve ever had though.

(as a small aside, is it just me or does Cameron Diaz look extrmely drunk in that picture?)

The one’s I where is on straight.
I don’t know what’s the name of it in English.
Hej, Montfort, you can maybe help me with that,
you’ve seen the red one I have in a picture.

No, Anniz, it’s not a hat. It’s a HAT. Wowsers…

Anyway, it’s a bowler.

I only wear baseball hats, and I never wear them anyway but straight. Never backwards, never cocked.

Hats?

I don’t normally wear hats. I end up with a severe case of ‘hat hair’, those small tendrils that flip up at the temples - the only time when my hair will actually curl. But I do have a nice floppy bucket hat from my local theatre group. I’ll wear that if I have been working alot and haven’t had the chance to wash my hair.

The thing I can’t stand is when someone wears a graduation cap set so far back that it looks like a diamond-shaped halo (‘Hey, look at me! I stapled a piece of cardboard to the back of my head!’) It’s supposed to be flat, dammit! Grrr! Can’t tell the young kids a thing these days! Can’t dress 'em up.

(Sorry for the mini-rant. As a teacher, I used to help the seniors get ready for graduation and had to repin all the girl’s hats; they would wonder why the hat wouldn’t stay on - well when you have the mortar board perpendicular to the ground, gravity’s gonna take over!)

Well, you’re right about the Mortar Boards at graduation.

And I suppose the sentries at Buckingham palace would look really odd wearing a tall plumed hat at an angle.

Would look like Marge Simpson :smiley:

I used to wear a baseball cap pretty often, a really cool light tan one with a patch on the front of a black crescent moon with silver and gold stars in it. It was great, but I lost it. I now have a plain hat of the same color. If I can find that same damned patch again, I’ll sew it on.

But anyway, I wear it straight (am wearing it straight right now) unless I’m drunk, in which case I will turn it at an angle.

15

I generally wear a baseball cap every waking moment save while showering, when I hang it on the bathroom doorknob (it goes directly back on my head upon toweling off). And I always wear it straight and forward, except during sex, when I turn it around backwards.
