There's no denying that dapper clothes (well-fitting suit, shiny, leather shoes, neckties, cufflinks to complete the attire) do make the man, but nowadays wearing a top hat just might put you in the category of the slightly eccentric and maybe even the little bit mad. Characterized by its height and broad brim, what happened to the hat that was frequently worn by both men and women of all classes during the 19th and early 20th century? What led to its demise?
In the 19th century, top hats were all the rage with upper classes wearing them that made of beaver fur and the working class donning hats that were made of the lesser rabbit fur. With increasing popularity the top hat reached new heights supposedly representing higher social status. With the industrial revolution mass production brought forward the bowler hat and the top hat became reserved for the upper classes often used as a reference of capitalism as well as British aristocracy.
But it has not completely disappeared; it is still worn by men to specific social events including weddings, balls and horse races such as Royal Ascot in England. Nowadays they are of fur felt with antique top hats made from silk selling for thousands at auctions.
Men who choose to wear a top hat should be advised to make sure that it fits well, combining it with a smart tailored suit, crisp necktie and matching cufflinks. To add an extra touch of class to your outfit there are even top hat cufflinks.
When it first appeared it was worn by policemen to ensure a sense of respectability. At present doormen at up market hotels such as the Ritz don it with tailored suits as part of their uniform to give clients the impression of old fashioned personal service and etiquette.
Professional horse riding competitions namely dressage still require both men and women to wear a top hat, tails and jodhpurs as a standard uniform for qualification.
In popular culture it is identifiable with numerous personalities and professions. The traditional image of a magician pulling a rabbit out of his hat is one of the most obvious. Fred Astaire frequently wore a top hat in his films, namely Top Hat released in 1954 co-staring Ginger Rogers. Decked out in stars and stripes, it is worn by Uncle Sam, the national personification of the United States. The Penguin, Batman's arch enemy and the Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland bring forth the eccentricity that is often associated with this specific hat. Johnny Walker the gentleman that represents the famous whiskey brand uses his with a staff. Slash and Prince have worn one and following on from Madonna, Britney Spears has even started wearing one during her Circus performances.
The top hat is certainly not as popular as it was in the 19th century but as a symbol of authority, elegance and power it continues to be brought out of the closet, dusted down and reinvented.
