suits and hats

Remember the good old days, when all men wore suits? Everyone looked sharp, everyone looked dapper. Now what do we have, kids skulking about in hoodies and tracksuits, men wearing the new "weekend uniform" of t-shirt and jeans non-stop, all looking identical. A return to the days of yore, when all were smart and immaculate, would be so much better. Much more interesting and stylish. A good fitting suit is comfortable too, negating a frequent argument. Plus, a suit can make an average man look great and a great man look amazing, so there's few real downsides.

Another item which needs returning is hats. Not those disgusting baseball caps, but old-fashioned hats which men used to wear. Fedoras, bowler hats and hornburgs could all do with being seen again, as a cool accesory to a sharp suit. Keeps your head warm, your hair in place, and can signify emotions and feelings based on the angle it's worn at.

And walking sticks too. A good cane like contraption, topped in white metal with some form of crest. Could act as a useful weapon against attackers as well as looking good.
