Denim bucket hat by Maison Martin Margiela, $105.00 at Project No. 8 Bucket hats were never cool.  Bucket hats never will be cool.  Avey Tare is cool despite his bucket hats.  Even diehard Animal Collective fans think it looks dumb.  Imagine this is the beginning of 2009 and Merriweather Post Pavillion is the coolest thing out there.  In this situation, bucket hats are still not cool.  I know MMM is all about the high/low thing, but at a certain point, you are just spending a ton of money on something tacky and lame.

Hooded “Rock and Roll” scarf, on sale for $44.00 at Betsey Johnson. Submission by beka-apeattack.  Beka raises some great points, saying, “I really don’t get it. It’s hideous, used to cost $88 and the picture, I believe, is of a man in a spaghetti strap tank top…none of this makes sense….” I would also like to add that if you have to declare you are Rock and Roll on your clothing, you probably aren’t. Case in point.

Mini beret by Eugenia Kim, on sale for $46.20 at Buy Definition If the last bag was comically oversized, this is the exact opposite.  This hat is so tiny it looks like something that would be hilariously tiny on an American Girl doll.  Playing with proportion can be fun, but if something is too big or too small, it look like you are playing a joke.

Unisex wool military beret with badges, $40.00 at American Apparel. I am so excited that American Apparel is now issuing merit badges for hipsterdom.  Based on this blurry image, it appears this girl has received: the living in Portland, Oregon badge; the drinking imported beer badge; the being “so over Animal Collective” badge; the vegan badge; and the “I was featured in a group show in Echo Park” badge.
