Do you consider Baseball Caps to be low class? (attractive, clothes, older)

[ABQConvict]

They are informal. If that means low class to you then sure, they are low class. Now, would you please pass the Grey Poupon you pompous twit?

This is pretty much true. I don't see any class correlation when men are dressed casually. The economic class difference is as it was when John Malloy first wrote "Dress for Success:" Upper-economic class men have a specific leisure wardrobe, lower-economic class men do not.

The current leisure wardrobe for upper class men does include baseball caps in leisure situations, whereas a lower-economic class man is more likely to wear a baseball cap in many more situations.

Personally, I don't wear a baseball cap except on the shooting range, where the brim prevents hot brass from falling behind my eyeglasses. But I'm rarely bare-headed outdoors; I own a nice collection of fedoras and wear them in most other situations.

We've been having near 100 degree weather for dayum near 3 months and ball caps just hot in the heat and only shade you from the sun in the front.
I think that they have better utility and style then ball caps do.
On a side note, I buy them at the swap meet for $10 and not at this website.

Panama Hats for Men

Well...I do have one from that very website.

If Woman4Life was a man she would know that bald men should never go out in the sun without a hat. Hairline insecurity?

There is a big difference.

The ones who wear the arched ones vs the flat billed ones.

Its all losers who wear the flat billed ones, I have never seen these ghetto/loser people wear the normal baseball caps.

Normal ones I have seen worn among many normal and middle class people here.

LOL....you mean like this loser? Really...you and your friend are likely in your 20's and looking for meaningless ways to cross guys off your list. When you are in your 40's you will complain that you are in the same boat as the "ball cap" guys are today and whine how it's unfair. Sorry. #truth

Careful with that losers commentary.....

[LexusNexus]

Depends on who is wearing it and how.

Items of clothing are not low class. Behavior and attitudes are.
