You know, I was tempted, but I already have a tweed cap. You wear it well, you stylish sleuth. P. S. I just put the 221B Baker Street board game on my Christmas list, but no one is likely to play with me here. At least I know, YLF has a fab contingent who would! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-sherlock#post-1406008 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 23:12:15 +0000 Caro in Oz 1406008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another Sherlock fan here - it totally works for me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-sherlock#post-1405870 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 19:05:19 +0000 Frances 1405870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very, very stylish.

I think I've gotten over my doubts about the hat, particularly after this exchange from last night:</p> <p>Me (coming into house): Brr! It's cold out there!<br /> Him (from next room): No S*** Sherlock!<br /> Me (putting head round door): Funny you should say that...<br /> Him: Hey! I was wondering when you'd wear that again! You do look cute in it!</p> <p>So that deerstalker stays, at least as long as I'm trying to channel my inner English Superhero. But I must refrain from smoking a pipe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-sherlock#post-1405132 Thu, 04 Dec 2014 04:45:48 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1405132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's cute on you! I would just avoid wearing it with a cape--ha ha! </p> <p>P.S. If I looked that good in it, I'd wear it. Admittedly, I have a hard time with hats, so any one that doesn't look wretched on me is one that I'd consider wearing!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-sherlock#post-1405110 Thu, 04 Dec 2014 03:55:21 +0000 Anonymous 1405110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun and fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-sherlock#post-1405107 Thu, 04 Dec 2014 03:52:10 +0000 Suz 1405107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it on you!

I'm never sure if that's a compliment.<br /><div><br />Thanks for comment, although&nbsp;I suspect this tile&nbsp;might be a step too far even for me. I really love the classic English&nbsp;look of the thing, but it probably has too many associations with 221B Baker Street to be anything more than an occasional look.&nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-sherlock#post-1404830 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 16:51:07 +0000 Angie 1404830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super cute. Love the hat with the specs. And you live in my favourite Euro city - Amsterdam. Bent u Nederlands? Mijn Papa woont in Velp (Arnhem).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-sherlock#post-1404788 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 14:30:25 +0000 approprio 1404788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! Basil Rathbone&nbsp;and Jeremy Brett&nbsp;both totally owned this look.&nbsp;No wonder the youngsters of today are staying away - they clearly can't compete!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-sherlock#post-1404783 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 14:19:41 +0000 Thistle 1404783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Elementary indeed. Totally reminds me of Basil Rathbone Sherlock. </p> <p>Fun and quirky. </p> <p>Huge fan of the Benedict Cumberpatch Sherlock too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-sherlock#post-1404780 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 14:16:06 +0000 approprio 1404780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So as you might have already guessed, I'm no stranger to the left-field fashion choice. What might not yet be obvious is that I'm a bit of a hat girl, particularly on the bike in cold weather.</p> <p>To paraphrase something Jess Cartner-Morely said once, high fashion is often about walking the fine line between the&nbsp;scary and the ridiculous. I think this little number ticks both boxes.&nbsp;</p> <p>I don't think it's an accident that no contemporary Sherlock actually wears one of these, but&nbsp;although I would happily kill for Benedict Cumberbatch's Belstaff coat, or just about anything Lucy Liu wears as Joan Watson, I still enjoy this crazy little number when I want to&nbsp;feel like a crime-solving genius. Elementary!</p> <p>What do you think? Genius? Or just&nbsp;Scary/Ridiculous? </p>
