If David Beckham is Wearing a Flat Cap, then it's Time to Get on the Bus Boys
Back in 1999BC (before class), David Beckham was responsible for more than his fair share of fashion faux pas. Remember the all-in-one leather jumpsuit (got a 2-for-1 deal with the missus)? How about the girly Alice band, which kept his gelled highlights from flopping onto his pretty fake-tanned face? Or that sarong, how could we forget that?
But time has been a great healer for Goldenballs, and his successful fashion designer (who saw that coming?) wife, Victoria. It's as if the first thirteen years of their courtship never happened, and the slate was wiped clean in 2010 allowing them both to be born again as global style icons. Seriously, who saw that coming???
Now, whatever David wears - be it a tweed blazer, a pocket square or a side-sweep haircut - the world follows.
So men, the time has come to dig out that flat cap you flirted with in the late Nineties - when you were going through your Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrelscountry squire-meets-urban-gangster phase - dust it off, and bust a move.
Since relocating to London, the nip in the air has rendered Beckham inseparable from his assortment of rather fetching tweed flat caps (probably a hangover from the time David recently spent hanging out with Lock, Stock director Guy Ritchie on the set of his new H&M ad) . And now that he's put them back on our fashion radar again, we've noticed he's not the only natty chappy to sport this oft maligned style of 'titfer'.
Heartthrobs Harry (Styles) and Hamm (Jon) are rather partial to the flat cap, as are Mr Selfridge star Jeremy Piven, GQ editor Dylan Jones, and rakish rapper Ne-Yo, to name but a few. Just take a look at this line-up of flat cap favourers to help get your eye in.
