Because, fashion rodeo.

A hat (and we are not just talking about snapbacks) is the perfect accessory for guys as it can complement your outfit, and also elevate your look. It’s also a functional accessory, unlike some pieces of jewellery, so as you try to lift your sartorial game, nobody can really write you off for being a try-hard. There’s always the excuse of “I have a head cold” or “I am protecting my delicate skin from those harsh UV.”

While hat choices abound, most of what are available are classic styles that have been made relevant by designers. Choosing the right hat is like finding a perfume scent that represents who you are so it’s wise to spend time looking for one that you are comfortable with. Material is also key in picking one that works for the right season.

Here, I’ve picked out a Burberry Prorsum forest green, suede mens bucket hat. While the style, usually made out of heavy-duty cotton material, was historically worn by farmers and fishermen, it has evolved into streetwear in popular cultures. The fact that this one is made out of suede instantly gives it a luxe appeal. If you ever end up wearing one and don’t know what to team it with, try

1) going for a patterned button-up shirt (to continue the casual theme with the hat)

2) matching with an item that is of a similar colour (in this case, the carryall)

3) wearing sandals (because it doesn’t have to be shoes all the time)
