I jace been buying a lot of hats from the women’s clothes department as I prefer the hat designs for women. I have been buying French style berets and baker boy hats and I like the look of them.
I bought this women’s baker boy style hat from my local River Island and it goes well with my t-shirt mini dress, waistcoat and black tights with Chelsea boots.

BTW, I recently came across a fashion video in which a woman condemned the hats/caps that men still wear. Not fashionable, it seems.
The coffin size Man Box would shrink even smaller.

I used to have a navy blue Breton hat like that, and so did my father.

Buying that baker boy hat has made me want to go my hair long again because IMO I think those baker boy style hats look better with long hair.

Yes, that was the video I was referring to.
BTW, I don't believe that I have ever seen a male wear this style, but I think that in terms of aesthetics the hat will work well for both men and women.

Hats are another area where females have total freedom to indulge themselves, but men are somewhat limited. The hat shown is a fine example. That hat was once thought to be a man's and boy's hat. Still, now it's being marketed as a woman's hat. In fact, I can't think of a single style of hat that is considered to be exclusively for males. I almost said except yarmulkes, but a quick search proved that would have been a mistake. The erasure of the gender line in fashion is like driving on a highway that only allows passing for the cars going in one direction at all times.

They are called Brenton style caps:

Years ago I got into the habit of wearing baseball style caps. To keep the sun out of my eyes, and rain out of my face. I now have to make a conscious decision to not grab a cap on my way out the door. Being quite useful to me, I am not going to give this up for "fashion."

At least a couple of Brit left wing politicians were known to wear hats of this style.

My style includes my Bush hat, which has been my style for many years and is my trade mark for my company work. I think many years wearing a hat, has allowed me to add skirt to my style with less problems, since I was already odd by being a hat wearing person.
