Alright guys here is another challenge for da week. I am trying to not procrastinate and be more efficient. I also made the post early to give y'all some time to think about your fits.

Why?

Because I know how the avg CM poster reacts when he sees the word

CASUAL


For this challenge the rules are to create a casual around ANY kind of hat. Any fit goes even a suit as long as it looks casual (Final judgement rests in my hands).


THIS CHALLENGE IS OPEN TO BOTH CM AND SWD POSTERS

Here are some fine examples














All these are awesome...



BUT



saved the best for last.



1000





Alright guys here are all the contestants.



Gonna go the opposite direction as Tira in this. I played around a bit yesterday; I think this'll be the best I come up with given my limited hat wardrobe (all baseball caps and beanies, the later of which I wear with jacket and tie because I like beanies, man, they keep my head warm). Obviously not what I wore given the heat, so feel free to DQ it.



I'm still on a denim detox since my first FC :) but I had to give this one a try...




Kinda funny: this is kind of a T1-ish look I wanted to wear today anyway, and I just picked up a hat. Fate, I guess. I'm not sure if I'm fully committed to the hat lifestyle.

How about something nice and southern? Sorry in advance for the picture quality.


A reckless attempt at TTOism...



Here we go..

Not the world's greatest photo, not the world's greatest outfit, and the picture got barely any detail on the hat (linen, with stripes in a light sageish color), and rumpled from a full day's wearing. Also, I have a stupid look on my face, and for a hat competition, I really shouldn't block it out. Whatever, I'll throw it out there. What's the worst that can happen?

Here goes naught...







Anyway, for the contest:

Here we go. Decided to swing so far left field, because.



It's a hat-trick..

Damn, Tira. Really upped the level of difficulty on this. I'll see what I can put together.

^ 99 out of a hundred times fedoras + casual wear ends in disaster. I would like to see people try it though, would be awesome if you managed to pull it off.
