I tried being a hat guy back in my early twenties. Didn't work. Dunno why.

I went through a flat cap/pipe smoking phase. :/

Honestly, not my worst phase, but far from my best.

Gotta go all the way with the handlebar mustache and penny-farthing too.

I went a way worse direction: theology books.

Did you try the beard with no mustache variation? Kind of an Amish Tuba Player thing?

Lol at first I thought you meant flat BILL hat and was super confused. I wasn't sure if you were an old timey guy who happened to like limp bizkit, or a crackhead.

I think you have to pick a hat type which fits your head shape, but I wouldn't know how to do that. But I think a skinny face would be weird in a bowler hat for example.

This site has nice guides on how to tell your face shape and what hats work well with a given shape

I saw that Travolta's been rocking a beret recently, and he's pulling it off nicely.
