In this video men's style, grooming, fitness and lifestyle expert, Aaron Marino of www.iamalpham.com www.aaronmarino.com and www.peteandpedro.com,
talks about the different types of men's hats and how to wear them. Men's hats are a cool way to add interest and dimension to an outfit.
Up until the late 1960s, men wore hats. Aaron Marino of alpha m. gives examples from TV (Boardwalk Empire and Mad Men) as well as celebrities. For the last 40 years, the predominate hat has been the baseball cap. Well, classic men's hats are back in a big way. Men are paying attention to their entire outfit with the devil being in the details, and men are dressing with purpose.
Men can add depth and dimension to an outfit as well as elevate their style to the next level by trying new and different things like hats. Alpha is not a hat guy. He explains that he has ears to contend with. You will only know if you're a hat guy if you try and experiment. Alpha displays how hats can take an outfit from 'good to great' after discussing how to style the following:
Types of Hats
Fedora
Trilby
Homburg
Derby or bowler
Pork pie
Cowboy
Panama
Flat cap
Newsboy

[@rachelsanders2]

[@pawbiter]

You are spot on. Hats take you to the next level of looking coordinated and well dressed. I like how your hat is as unique as you are. You don't see your ears as a reason not to wear hats, but rather you find a way to create your own style by tucking one ear in. Now THAT is how to "rock" a hat. Looks great.

[@jamessarvan7692]

I love the flat cap. I have a tweed flat cap that I use pretty often with tweed suits. Gives me that peaky blinder look, I love it!

[@nickey3633]

Noice, Mate!

[@nobullshiit5682]

I just got another trilby fedora and a Australian kangaroo leather barmah squishy hat for hiking and the outdoors .hat are great . I cant imagine not wearing one .

[@kaiobikeg8749]

I love hats. Scally caps (flat cap) are some of my favorite styles. Just starting to get into fedoras ( smaller brims ). Ordered a few styles of them from a hat site from Cali.

[@Curt_Randall]

As with anything in fashion, photogenic good-looking guys can get by wearing practically anything. Other guys, not so much.

[@gallifreyFNM]

two things: 1. a quick thank you for the videos- I've stumbled upon your channel whilst trying to make some life changes, and your positive approach to the info you give is a great motivator to continue with my new direction (other 'mens' videos tend to be more cocky and just a bit d-bagish but yours are more friendly and good-natured which is great). Also, a lot of your videos apply to what I'm trying to change in my life, so thank you for trying to help and get some positivity out there. 2. You used Matt Smith's Doctor as a hat reference. Awesome.

[@DigityDowg]

[@MacDaddy635]

Great work Aaron!

[@relaxandrefocuswithmegan]

I like how you're trying to bring hats back. For the ones who look good in them.

[@tenji8084]

You actually pull that hat off really well.

[@lozoyabeast12]

Thanks for the vids alpha! They're great

[@IMTHATN1NJA]

I like the flat caps gonna try those out

[@Shindai]

There's a great article on The Art of Manliness about how to match a hat type with your face shape and such that gave me the confidence to try out hats, now I'm "the hat guy" in my circle of friends :p Wouldn't leave house without my fedora.

[@BoiseG]

In the age of Neckbeards, you have to be a super Alpha M F'er to rock a fedora.

[@Eyebrows842]

the neckbeard guys wear 20 dollar trilbies whch are often mistakenly called fedoras

[@icouldntcomeupwithanorigin2688]

Jesse Thiessen They're not even $20. Trilbys cost like $8 at Walmart and shit

[@devilzdandruff9199]

BoiseG Lol... right, ok. Cuz I give a fuck what the next person thinks. Know how to coordinate your clothes and rock a fedora.

[@RealShrigmaMale]

No, you just have to wear it with a suit

[@deitus1375]

You really can't rock the hat alpha.

[@dailytimes6787]

Lol yeah I thought he was joking wearing that at first

[@thomaspruzek4512]

He looks like a 75 year old fisherman

[@sallybindas9759]

yes but he is wearing hatwoods hat he will rock

[@joelhallin9663]

He can't rock that particular hat, he would look better in others.

[@sugestive371]

thomas pruzek 😂😂😂

[@Crosswalker.]

Like the hat you're wearing, fits you! 🙂

[@garrettmetalman5008]

Thanks Alpha! I've been waiting for you to do a video on hats for a LONG time! Good advice! Keep up the good work! You've helped me a lot!

[@SicSeb]

I own a Brixton Gain fedora. I love it

[@Redmen-mc9mb]

alpha m. Hey Aaron I'm 16 years old and I would just like to say thanks. I have been watching your videos for the past 2 months now and they have helped me so much in my fashion sense. I no longer wear that Aeropostale or Hollister branded clothing. I wear good clean stylish clothes now. You have also helped me with acne issues which I thank ya for. You're vids are big help and especially that Sex one you recently posted cuz people need to understand that better. Keep up the good work brother! And stop by or near Ohio or Cleveland on day!!

[@Slick411]

Some of those first pictures of “fedoras” are actually Trilbies. The Trilby is a much shorter brimmed hat, typically 2 inches or less. Most fedoras have brims of at least 2 1/4 inches, and the classic fedora, like Humphrey Bogart wears, has a brim of 2 1/2 inches.

[@Mario-xr3jo]

Exactly!👍

[@davidpaulplanchard3104]

That hat looks really fresh! You got great style brother.

[@casualchaos1466]

Dude ur always so fun, love new tube.

[@Rjsipad]

Thank you for the gold, kind stranger!

[@icrin_]

I waited for this video for so long

[@MegaJorge503]

Love the fedora

[@trbrm6319]

I love this video as I am a man who loves hats

[@uosmanMD]

Great general overview but would appreciate some more detail on how to color coordinate a hat with the rest of an outfit, also if specific head sizes work best with certain hats (like your sunglasses video)

[@alestefan4472]

Not only did you advocate a fedora, but you said it could be pulled off with a tee and shorts? Jesus I can hear every MLP fan saying 'i told you so'

[@robertdurham3594]

The hat looks awesome on you brother

[@NoobsofFredo]

I personally have a brown wool wide-brimmed fedora (as in, the brim is a good 2.5 or 3 inches) that works with most outfits, but goes best with a darker khaki longcoat I picked up not too long ago. Puts some artificial bulk on me (which I need), and goes well with the long-haired look that I prefer. Still yet to find _the_ shirt to go with it, but it's still a good look.

[@baasbenja9485]

Strength And Philosophy True !

[@gvaud73]

Lol 😂😂😂. I’m the same. I love hats. Very rarely do they look good on me. But I continue on my quest. 🙏🏼

[@rickyymunoz]

The "Panama hat" or the Wide-Brim Fedora is what all of you need to own ASAP

[@mashallahz5297]

You are a very smart man and am sure you can find that perfect hat to suit your ear and face shape

[@zo851]

Why is the brim on your hat so lopsided?

[@spinmau5]

alpha m is such a cool guy. he doesn't swear, he's confident, and he's basically the ideal man.

[@clap5]

Do a vid on velour suits! I owned a pair and loved it! They're so hard to find now and I guess there dated. But I really wish they'd make a come back.

[@lancercool1992]

I knew Matt Bomer was going to be in the pictures, he looks too good in suits and hats

[@SHEILAETHEQUIETSTORM]

love your hat!...Sheila love hats!

[@PerryMatt]

Thank you for the video! Do you think is inappropriate to wear a hat in the evening?

[@lucky.t.7233]

Ive always rocked hats my collection is currently at 105. Everything from ball caps to fedoras, flat caps, newsboy hats, cowboy hats etc. I dont really follow trends I create my own style and its been paying off for me so far.

[@rythianblacktheblackemporium]

I personally wear a Bowler hat with a nice black wool overcoat and black red white plaid scarf

[@Facehate666]

From what I can tell from your profile pic, get rid of it.

[@artvision2175]

One word Awesome

[@ronin_11b94]

Hey Alpha, could you make a video on baseball hats and how to choose the perfect one for your face?

[@akafrankaim1554]

Great video. I'm totally not a hat guy though. I have also found myself in stores trying on hats, wishing it could work, but It's hard to cover great hair with a good hat. lol

[@anshu0809]

thumbs up for the only two men I follow for style and they both happen to be italian and in this video, aaron marino and marianodivaio

[@psc93krp]

Hey alpha, I don't recall seeing any video on watches. Any chance for that in the future? Just curious about your take on it. Respect!

[@kennethtodd856]

Popa Silviu Go to his website, he has plenty videos on watches.

[@alexwales8914]

He's got a good few videos on watches

[@Conor3D]

M'lady

[@MrBaertigerchrist]

i love to wear hat's. for me I love flatcaps in different colours and I have a fedora, a melone and a Panama hat. I love caps to but often I wear the fedora it's my favorite :) sorry for my English I am from Germany

[@liljuanito123]

melone or bowlers/derbies are my fav

[@RaisedFlipper6]

Try Link's hat from Legend of Zelda.

[@davidsundbaumphoto]

Nice to see the Doctor in one of your videos.. Even though he's not wearing a fez! Keep it up!

[@johnw9177]

Where I'm from, hats never left. Granddaddy, dad.... I wear them more for function (but they have to look good). Bald head when it's hot? Need a hat! Bald head in the winter? Need a hat!

[@milekrizman]

I like hats. Don't know why Americans stopped wearing them in 1960's

[@Mario-xr3jo]

​@@milekrizman Do you wear them then?

[@user-zi2in7gv4h]

will these match my flame shirt?

[@georgeetboom7719]

Of course you have a video about this.

[@schlsschls9344]

great video and great music at the end, where can I get it?

[@wyattrydlewski9130]

Smaller Men's formal hats like the trilby and fedora have a pretty nasty stigma lately with the whole "neckbeard" archetype. It is going to take a pretty long time before the average guy can pick one up and put one on. That said, the long brims are looking pretty good right now.

[@jemahoney]

You just don’t know how to rock a fucking hat i’m a OG and trust me I get Compliments from a whole new generation of females

[@cincy3662]

As far as I saw, hats fit great with very big jacket collars.

[@gasmaskentertainment160]

ushanka works too

[@supa6692]

Nice content....

[@remizero4876]

i like the matt smith

[@xanakin123]

[@eliasnissila2479]

finally, the long waited hat video =) thank you. next time jackets please.

[@recklezzgayz5463]

I swear mostly streetwear clothing, but for someone who is 27, i can't wear only street wear clothing!!! I'm not a child. This channel allows me too branch out!!!

[@flint9889]

How is it with picking up girls? I'm 24 turning 25 in a week. I be wearing fedoras all the time last year but I'm not sure if girls like it. My one lady friend doesn't seem to mind. But I don't know if I should continue. Haven't been wearing it for a while. Specially with a cane

[@sirbraddingham]

*immediately sits up when Matt Smith is shown*

[@raycar1432]

sooooo glad you put in a pic of matt bomer and his fedora. Inspired me to try on hats :D

[@raycar1432]

Ray Carter this said however, I have had no luck with hats. My problem being that i have extremely spiky hair that just dont let the hat do justice. Any solutions?

[@thatsroughbuddy2000]

Matt Bomer is the fedora king, as in whatever fedora he wears he look freakin amazing in it

[@raycar1432]

Yup :D

[@Big-Monkey-Man]

All the pictures you showed of "fedoras" were actually trilbys. Trilbys have snap brims fedoras have much wider brims that you can forme to different shapes.

[@patriksekutor2005]

i have a top hat and a fedora and i wear them both all the time

[@jillianzizza6955]

i have a black phadora that i love

[@jentheodaartist1291]

[@hunterborah4612]

hey Alpha I'm wondering, school is coming back and I've never owned a watch.... ever. so any tips on how to pick one and look fashionable, formal and sporty at the same time? help?

[@brianpatrickofficial]

Alpha: *Shows no care at all* And the cowboy, well we all know what a cowboy hat is. Me: *cries*

[@benfothman7502]

How could you show off the flat-cap without using Brian Johnson as an example? C'mon...

[@AllanEvansOfficial]

Here we are again I find myself back at the alpha M somehow.

[@Gabe-gc8ex]

I've had black hair all my life and I've thought of changing the color lots of times but color and hairstyles for short hair for a round face shape is hard any ideas M.

[@sliverx422]

Do you have any tips on necklaces

[@porkypizza958]

He looks like Paddington Bear in that hat. Haha

[@robtoe10]

So which hat was common (as in what was it called) in the 50s? The one that went well with the clean, side-parted haircut and either a proper buttoned shirt or suit. (For those who know the game, the 'Pre-War Hat' from Fallout comes to mind).

[@AlexCab_49]

I'm thinking of buying a bowler hat or a panama. Any thoughts?

[@Mentis_Umbra]

~My problem with hats is my hair, always worried about it being tossed around and looking effed when i take it off. I like to style my hair spiked upwards and also have a relatively big melon, so most hats are rather form fitting or tight. I just about switched back to ear buds for a similar reason, it would always leave a dent in my hair(I also wasn't styling my hair then with products, just water). Watching DJs I found out I just had to shift teh band to teh back more and there will be no hair alteration. I use my headphones on average 4-12 hours a day and wear them around my neck whenever I leave teh house, on occasion I don't wear them at all. Think I might try one out sometime, maybe a Pork Pie or Panama hat.

[@ISHTIYAQUEAHMEDMomin]

Hii M can you make the video for CAP ?

[@fodsaks]

Rock and roll killed the hat... When young guys wanted everyone to be impressed with their Elvis quiffs.

[@faisalmalik368]

How about a video on manbun please

[@heat4yoass]

What brand is that you're wearing?

[@anthonywilson8366]

nice video thats

[@amrautospa]

Aaron you need to watch the show White Collar. It's a great style show with lots of style

[@jazzsalsadrummer9113]

Hey Alpha...Thx for the great video...The hat (fedora) went out of style when John F Kennedy seduced women with his unadorned hair; guys everywhere decided to dump the hat. I'm 67 years old (eyewitness to the hat massacre) but continued wearing groovy fedoras my whole life, still do.
