What to Wear with a Leather Top Hat?
Many of us have seen the movie The Great Gatsby, where Leonardo DiCaprio sports a Leather Top Hat. Leather top hats are not very common, but they do exist. Recently on eBay for example there was one on sale for $19.95 US.
Can you wear it to the office? Or with your business casual attire? Leather is normally associated with more of a biker or rocker type style, but that doesn’t mean that a leather top hat can’t be worn to a formal event such as a wedding or even church service. I’ve added some clothing suggestions below that may give you some ideas on how different people would pull off this look in different situations and occasions. For example, if going out at night, maybe add a black leather jacket or vest over your outfit.
Leather top hats come in different colors too, so if black isn’t your thing, there are other options. A brown leather top hat for example would look great with a tweed suit or sport coat. You could even wear it to dress up a more casual look by adding a plaid shirt and jeans.
If you’re still unsure about how to style your new Leather Top Hat, here are a few suggestions to get you started:
- Wear it to the office with a blazer and dress slacks
- Wear it to a wedding with a tuxedo or dark suit
- Wear it to church with a blazer and dress slacks
- Wear it to a casual dinner with a light-colored collared shirt and jeans
- Wear it to the office with a blazer and dress slacks (or suit and tie if it’s more formal)
- Wear it to a wedding with a dark suit, or grey tweed suit
- Wear it to church with a waistcoat and button-down shirt
- A black turtleneck and jeans are a classic look that will never go out of style.
- If you’re looking for something a bit more formal, try a black dress and heels.
- For a more casual look, try a T-shirt and jeans or leggings.
- A leather jacket is always a good option to wear with a leather top hat.
- Whatever you choose to wear, make sure it matches the color of your hat. Black hats go well with black clothing; brown hats go well with brown clothing, and so on.
- You can put it on like a normal hat, just making sure that the front is facing forward.
- You can also wear it as a shoulder cap by putting the straps over your shoulders and adjusting them to fit.
- Another option is to wear it as a headband by slipping it over your head and adjusting the straps to fit.
Whichever way you choose to wear it, make sure the hat is comfortable and that the straps are tightened so that it doesn’t fall off.
