Mailbag: Summer Hats | Fail Geno asks: "What kind of hat is fashionable for summer? Derby, trilby, or Panama?" Answer: No. Slightly more helpful answer: This is one of those tragic cases where something potentially practical has been ruined by smelly hipsters. Winter hats are still fine, but depending on your age, popping on any of these summer lids will turn you into one of the wifebeater-clad unwashed normally seen at music festivals or a geriatric Floridian. Stick to quality shades and some sunblock. 08.jun.2011 mail style 4 comments getting comments...hide comments post a comment
