The trick is what you wear with it. Yeah, if you wear it with an edgy t-shirt, cargo pants, and a trench coat people will think you're an asshole. If you instead wear it with, for example, a casual button down shirt, sturdy slacks, and in colder weather a light leather jacket, people will think you look like Indiana Jones. I know because that's how I usually dress and random people compliment me on that. As long as the outfit suits the hat, people will see it in the way you mean it.
There's no saving the Trilby hat though, there's no outfit that makes it work. Edit: I was wrong. Even the Trilby can be cool.
I wear a trilby and get compliments frequently. People tell me I look like: The Blues Brothers, Inspector Gadget, Dick Tracey, and one guy called me Inspector Clouseau.
Damn, you're right. I didn't think about the Blues Brothers, who do in fact look very cool in trilbys. I guess it just requires the right accompaniment like any hat. I apologize.
You know what I like? The bowler. I've never had one, but I like bowler hats.
My brother has a bowler. It can look damn stylish with the right clothes, and downright silly with the wrong ones. I can't wear one though, I look silly in them no matter what I wear it with.

I don't mind looking silly in a bowler.
Then get one. Live the dream!
