What’s bothering you about the hat?

Nothing bothers me, per se, it's just the way it stands out. The colour is unlike the rest of the piece but not in a way that's glaringly out of place. It's also the only clothing he's wearing, somewhat contradicting the title and leading one to wonder at your reasoning or perhaps to infer something about the unseen context of the picture. You could also look at it as being a kind of balance to and distraction from his genitals which otherwise would be a clear contender for the focus of the piece. Maybe you've found a clever way to make us consider his whole body rather than just the fact that it's a male nude. In any case, I think your colours are well-chosen and I like the crayony texture of the lines.

Thank you very much. I like how you think. But to be honest the hat is only there because i feel more save with a hat on. Which could also be some kind of statement on how i‘m not afraid to show my body but keep my head (mind) safe.

Completely naked but still self-conscious about your haircut.
