I wish I could wear something like that, but it'd make me feel pretentious. Not that I think people wearing them look or come off as pretentious, but for me it'd feel that way. I couldn't pull it off anyway since my daily attire is a hoodie and jeans/joggers.

As someone who's daily attire is jeans, converse, tee, and hoodie: it comes down to the type and color, like the other guy said

My daily driver is a cheap one from a two pack off Amazon and people love it

Here's the listing

There are so many styles, patterns, and colors of caps under the very wide term of flat cap. I think the pretentious feeling is silly, and probably geographical. I have baseball hats, beanies, newsboys, whatever. It doesn't have to be your thing, just a thing you have.

I guess I've never considered myself that "posh" (not British but can't think of a better word). Fair enough though might have to give it a try!

What're you gonna do with that umbrella faaag?

Growing up with that sort of stupid toxic masculinity no matter how dumb you realize it is... is just hard. Every fiber of your being screams to tell you no, don't stand out, suck it up, what are you some kinda of douche?
