Popularized By:
 Charlie Chaplin (who played a dictator in 
Th
  e Great Dictator
) and Benito Mussolini (who played a dicta-
tor in World War II)
Hat Story:
 Originally designed as a kind of stylish hard hat, 
the narrow-brimmed bowler fi rst appeared in 1850 and for 
the next several decades was

Pluses:

Minuses:
 It didn’t work that well for Duckie in 
Pretty in Pink.

EGYPIAN DIADEM
Popularized By:
 King Tutankhamen (of Egypt) and Steve

Minuses:
 Airport metal detectors

Hat Story:
 A Cantonese hatter designed the fi rst silk top hat

variation on the top hat called the stovepipe hat, the hat be-
ing straight rather than wider at the top.
Pluses:
 Uber-retro, and black is very slimming.
Minuses:
 Kids always asking you to pull a rabbit out of it. Or
