An aviator hat, sometimes called a pilot hat or a bomber hat is a usually large leather hat with long ears, a curved chin strap and, more often, a long bill which is usually turned up in the front for showing the inside lining. It’s often worn with black goggles. It can be made from other materials, like felt or cloth.
The Aviator style is in vogue now and it has been for quite some time. A hat that looks good on you is all about your personal taste. But if you’re thinking of buying one because of the latest fashion trend, I’d advise you to reconsider. While it is certainly fashionable, practical considerations make it a poor choice for everyday use.
A hat cannot take away the feeling of cold and danger, but it can certainly help you look cool in your pyjamas. Many people wear them under their own clothing as a sort of layered effect. They are comfortable enough to wear for long periods in winter and are ideal when dressing down. The only disadvantage they have is that they are not waterproof. If you insist on wearing an Aviator hat in the rain, you may want to buy a model with a detachable cover. That way you can protect your head from the beads of water that might be pouring on you.
