A Hat Is a Personality

A Hat is a Personality

  Tip it forward, graciously

  Angle it sideways, rakishly

    ~ Tilt its brim back, thoughtfully

I am seeing Frank Sinatra, and the Sammy Davis Junior and Fred Astaire immediately!

Yes, indeed. They did wear their fedoras back in the day, didn't they?! Thank you for your comment. Best always, Gershon

Hats really need to make a comeback for men, then we can have that extra bit of charm as your piece so aptly describes, Happy Thursday!!!

You are so right. Hadn't thought of it... In my cloistered world of Orthodox Jews, we almost all wear fedoras or bowlers a minimum of one day a week, (on the Sabbath); 50% of us wear them whenever we go outside... ~ Gershon

My hubby got a new cap, and I tell him he wears it 'rakishly' - literally used that word - enjoyed this!
