ACNE x EAST 17

 

Acne AW11 (£80)

I quite love this reversion to wearing beanies perched on the top of your head (pioneered by East 17 in their 'It's Alright' video/artwork) because it the literal antithesis of the grim X-Factor contestant/off-duty 00s male model/David Beckham saggy hat. Also because it is completely stupid and therefore amusing.

My brother has been wearing his hats like this for a while now and on some level I think it's okay because he's thirty and I can imagine that it's difficult to shift the habits of your youthful heyday.
