Are formal hats on men dead?

From what I understand, JFK killed the hat because he didn't look good in them, and recently neckbeards have tarnished them even more.

Now, what I think is awkward about neckbeards in hats is the attempt at formality. Basically it's not appropriate for the situations they find themselves in, the fabric is often busy and doesn't match their clothes.

I recently bought a hat very much like pic related: soft black felt, wide deconstructed brim.

My thought is that the hat is sort of minimalist and not terribly formal. I generally wear basic bitch /fa/ stuff: skinny jeans, neutral t-shirts etc

I'll wear the hat as far back on my head as it can go, which again should decrease the formality of the hat.

Can I get away with this? I'm okay with looking like a fag, but I don't want to look like an autist.

If you don't have confidence in what you're wearing you should probably put it back in the closet until you do.

Oh I have confidence, I'm just interested in the discussion.

I'm going to be wearing my nice new hat whatever /fa/ thinks.

Well aside from confidence my only opinion on the matter is how the hat sits and fits. You're choosing to wear it far back on the head and that grondles my gazooks. Don't do that.

I almost killed myself yesterday because of a guy wearing a hat like related in McDonald's.
He was wearing it with a long coat and fucking Nike running shoes. The shoes were so out of place, he looked liked he was trying way too hard.
The scenario is really similar to what op described with neckbeards. Trying to class shit up with a coat and a hat that doesn't fit in.

I look amish with the hat further down, plus "grondles my gazooks" so I won't be taking your advice.

How about black leather slip on vans, or black DM shoes?

Yes simple looking preferably unbranded shoes would be acceptable to me:)

The hat is quite daring, so I would be careful and wear it with simple basic shit, so I wouldn't look too much like I was trying to stand out.

Wearing formal hats on the back of your head will always look goofy and tryhard as shit.
