It's a hat. Just a hat. That's all it ever was and all it ever will be. Whether it works or not is like asking whether the color blue works.

Poll: Does anyone (feminist, gamer, SJW, atheist) really find Fedoras attractive/cool?

I think my roommate put it best when he explained it to another friend. First, most people aren't able to tell the difference between a fedora and a trilby and its mostly the trilbies that are being worn. Second, trilbies are mostly being worn by neckbeards in an attempt to class up what they wear. Typically khaki shorts/pants and a t-shirt with an unshaven beard so they try to class it up with a fancy hat, but that only works when the rest of your outfit is on the same level. As someone who prefers t-shirts and shorts I personally don't wear hats and try to stay very cleanly shaven when I go out just to avoid being associated with that other group.
So anyone who doesn't fit your BS criteria deserves to be ridiculed for it. Got it.Xiado said:
Anyone here remember the "queen bee" stereotype that shows up in every high school movie? This is how the internet reacts to Fedoras at this point.
OT: I don't have any opinion on it. Granted, most people don't pull it off, but judging character / motivations based on a fucking hat makes zero sense.
I thought that they 'made a comeback' during that brief period of time in the 90's when swing music was all the rage again?
Anyway, as many have mentioned, it's just an accessory, but like any accessory, it's designed to be worn with specific types of clothing. Ties look great...if you're wearing a button up shirt with a collar. But wear a tie over a t-shirt? You look like a fool.
I think the issue with fedoras is that a lot of guys wear them thinking it's makes them look like some kind of old school 'when men were real men and women were ladies' gentleman from the turn of the 20th century, which a lot of socially awkward guys (at least that I've known) are oddly infatuated with. But to me, that's like wearing a Tapout shirt and thinking that now everyone will think you're an MMA fighter.

Oh come on short hair is about as innocuous, as a girl going out NOT wearing her best Sunday dress and pearlsXiado said:
Because it's not like she likes short hair or think it looks good on her right?
EDIT: the problem I have with fedoras is the actual hat itself is very hard to seperate from the negative association, I mean no doubt it's been abused but I think it's the stereotypes associated with the hat are worse than the hat itself
honestly, i think the main reason it gets such a bad rap is because it isnt paired with the appropriate clothing, along with the fact that it is generally overweight and unattractive guys wearing them (sorry). they arent putting any effort into the rest of their attire, nor are they putting any effort into their general appearance.
there is a reason fedoras actually look good on a handsome man in a suit... its because he is a handsome man in a suit. it isnt casual head wear. if you wear it with as much purpose as a baseball cap, it just looks odd.

I think fedoras can look quite attractive on certain women, as well as the old school Mafia gangsta cliché. Indiana Jones, as well. Other than that... nah. I've got nothing against people wearing them, but beyond those three cases fedoras don't interest me.
No.
Trilby hats look half-way decent, but Fedoras not so much. Its reputation has been stained by the disciples of Aalewis.
(I jest, I don't really care one way or the other.)

I don't fucking care. It's a hat. I tend not to put much stock into what someone puts on there head.
And NO I DON"T WANT ANOTHER FUCKING HAT!!! (inside joke for those who get it)

Oh cool I didn't know people still thought that about girls with short hair. Lame.Xiado said:
I look terrible with long hair. And I'm EXACTLY like other girls.
Also is having short hair for a woman `unusual` any more? I don't think so. Less than chin height maybe? But less than shoulder? Pffffffffft.
Sure, if they are on a person who looks good with hats and are ALSO WEARING A SUITABLE OUTFIT! Don't wear your fedorda with a damn hoodie, that doesn't look good. I very much like it on someone who can evoke a sort of 1930's New York feel. I anything could straighten me out a good Vito (Mafia II) cosplay would be it it!
