To quote writer James Baldwin: Your crown has been bought and paid for. All you must do is put it on your head. Nothing can switch up a woman or man's look like a dress hat. The right one is icing on the cake, giving the most plain-suited, ordinary Joe a sophisticated, urbane flavor. Whether its Homburgs, preppey bucket hats or snapped-brim fedoras or Pork Pies you will never be the same. Just think of a homburg on the Notorious B.I.G. or P. Diddy. Its hot and its looked anything but stodgy. and if a derby is your thing then think about what Tupac Shakur did to the obsessive British flavor of that hat !!
