Is it still okay to wear a trucker hat? I thought they had had gone out of style 5 or so years back due to the way they automatically label a person a douche nozzle, but I've seen quite a few climbers wearing them lately.

What is a trucker's hat? Isn't that similar to a ballcap?

Who cares what kind of hat a person wears?

Thank you for asking for my fashion advice.

It's standard wear in Colorado.

I feel like those who are overly concerned about others headwear might be labeled a "douche-nozzle"

Go to Tahoe and you'll see every bro bra wearing one....slightly off-kilter and flat brimmed, I guess it's supposed to be cool for some reason....

Hmm... At least in New Hampshire, among the younger crowds, trucker hats are in, whereas flat brimmed hats make you look like a D.

Caps suit some people. I am not one of them.

FYI, we regularly sell snap-backs, five-panels and trucker hats at my store for £30 ($50) or more.

I saw two douchey girls at the crag with trucker hats recently. One had misplaced hers. But one of the bros had it. Whew!

I think it's just one generations beanie or low riding jock style baseball cap.

Look at what the poor are wearing now and wait for the next generation's entitled youth to wear it in un/conscious irony?
