Study hats and gentlemen's laws with the British


It is not British people who really think of wearing a hat as "head". The British are naturally the most demanding of all the rules of the hat. And these laws, for today's business men, still have the reference significance.

The British believe that a hat cannot be worn without wearing it. Back in England, gentlemen had to wear tweed suits, knitted vests, cap and brogues, even if they were walking in the country or taking part in a doorball. While rowing, he asked for a knitwear and a Porkpie hat, which was similar to the traditional British pork pie, with a flat bottom and a flat bottom. British people have their own set of rules for what kind of hats to wear and the diameter of the brim.

At the mall in London, the hat counter is also one of the most popular places to visit in the UK, with a wide range of styles, absolutely not inferior to women's heels and handbags. It is said that the British love hats are from the rainy weather in the local time, when the rain and fog are not necessary, a hat is best.

Because of this, many British social customs are related to hats. For example, if a man visits a friend, he must take off his hat when he enters the room. When meeting an acquaintance in the street, a woman simply smiles or greets an acquaintance, but a man takes off his hat. It is interesting to note that this ritual of taking off the hat as a sign of respect is also reflected in English. For example, English "hat in hand" means "very deferential". The idiom "take one's hat off to to (someone)" literally means "to take off your hat for someone", which means "to look up to someone".


The British have a lot of attention to hats


The British have a lot of attention to their hats, but only the real English can, and even some of the wives of foreign dignitaries have been criticized by the British media. When George Bush and his wife visited Britain, Mrs Bush's clothes were criticised by local media for "a little wider".

The British also believe that the face of the long face is not suitable to wear high hat, and the round face of the hat with the top of the top is more pleasing to the eye; Short people wear slightly raised hats, and small men don't wear big hats like "mushrooms"!

Apparently, in the eyes of foreigners, the British are strict about hats.

In fact, the British etiquette for hats is mostly similar to that of other countries in Europe and the United States, except that many young men do not know and value the hats as much as their parents did. As a modern gentleman, you should at least know that you can show respect to each other in a social setting. If you meet familiar people, if you can't shake hands because of the distance between them, you can gently take off your hat and nod your head slightly.

Apologize to a strange woman, a stranger to thank you, a stranger to the woman you walk with to apologize, can raise a hat or patted a hat.

In more solemn occasions, such as attending important meetings, men should take off their hats. Men should also take off their hats to be polite when they enter the room. When watching movies and plays, you should always take your hat off in order not to hide your view from the back audience. In some indoor situations where you need to take off your hat, there is usually a person responsible for storing hats, so don't forget to tip when you take your hat.
