We’re 4 episodes in to season three of Succession, and already we’ve had an abundance of revelations. Papa Roy is continuous to masks his declining well being. Tom is keen (??) to supply himself up as the autumn man for Waystar Royco. Greg apparently has the balls to ask Logan for a “COCA-COLA” to go along with his rum.

I suppose Kendall’s at all times been one thing of a hat boy. We’ve seen him in his sad-boy beanie era. There was the temporary look of each an ushanka and a summertime fedora. However to put on a baseball hat with a swimsuit, one thing Kendall does when he exhibits up unannounced at Waystar’s workplaces? Highly effective. Inspiring. Provocative. It’s work informal at its peak. It says, I imply enterprise however may catch a baseball if I wanted to. Think about a reprise of Kendall’s rap ode to his father, however this time, he’s obtained on a bit of hat!

One thing about an grownup man in a baseball hat makes me need to maintain his hand earlier than he crosses the road … after which, as soon as we’re safely on the opposite aspect, instantly slap his wrist. It’s an oddly arresting picture — very after-hours finance bro. I each need to keep away from this man in any respect prices and ask if he wants some orange slices as a snack. I’ll deny ever penning this, however Kendall Roy in a baseball hat and swimsuit is the one man who may name me “mommy” and get away with it.

Aw, have a look at him doing enterprise like an enormous enterprise boy!

The baseball hat and swimsuit combo is really the Kendall Roy particular. It’s directly pathetic and cocky, overly formal and much too comfy. It’s the stylistic embodiment of his character’s extremes. It’s additionally an excellent Halloween costume, if you wish to preserve that concept in your pocket for one more 11 months.

Do you know that being a hat boy is hereditary?

Reality be advised, it’s a bit of shocking that Kendall has chosen a logo-less hat as his default. I preserve anticipating him to indicate up in a Probability the Rapper “3” snapback or a baseball cap emblazoned with THE FUTURE IS FEMALE. Maybe that’s in an episode to return. Or perhaps, in a future episode, all members of the Roy household put on hats as a enjoyable bonding expertise or for one more bizarre journal shoot. Who cares! Simply put all of them in matching caps! The long run is hats!
