SAY what you like about Vince “Strictly Come Dancing” Cable, he sure knows how to wear a hat. He’s been a fan of the fedora for years, and was wearing a particularly rakish one in photos taken after his unfortunate gaffe this week.
Unkind observers might say it made him look like a minor character in a 1950s spy thriller. But everyone else will just be glad it’s not a William Hague-style baseball cap.
Incidentally, can you imagine Cameron or Osborne in a hat? Beanie – too student protest. Flat cap – too Labour. Bowlers, boaters or top hats – too Bullingdon Club. That just leaves a Stetson, or, better, a dunce’s cap.
