Where's the hat?
I feel a bit odd....
 
I always thought that men's fedoras were the classiest looking hat, as our Horseless Carriage demonstrates.

I've always thought that everyone wearing those silly ball caps looked silly.
And on women? Oh, please.

Horseless Carriage wears it well but in my case even as a bald man never wore a hat and include daytime fishing , gardening but again for Horseless Carriage it's about style .

Thank you for your kind compliments. That hat and blazer, that I am wearing in my previous post, went down very well at Poole Goes Vintage.

We wear baseball caps, bucket/fisherman hats and even cowboy hats for utilitarian purposes, i.e. outdoor activities in the sun.

My only problem with men/women in hats, whether for practical purposes or fashion, is when they wear them indoors.

When a woman's hat is part of her outfit and her hair is styled according to it and it does not obstruct someone else's view it is permissiable indoors. For some hats are actually required.

There was a time when a man, to be considered fully dressed, wouldn't venture outside without wearing a hat. Now I'm not talking ball caps, or worse yet, ball caps worn backwards; I'm talking real hats of recognizable style. Watch old black-and-white movies, and you'll see men wearing them. Watch old newsreels, and you'll find a sea of hats wherever a crowd of men are depicted. My father wore a hat going to or returning from work every day, even in summer heat. It was expected, and was part of the male uniform of the day. Even boys wore caps. Can you imagine Indiana Jones without his rakish fedora? I don't think so...

Do you remember when men routinely wore hats, those relics of a dressier age? What memories do you have of them?

I also remember when men took their hats off inside.

Aside from medical/health and religious reasons, IMHO there is no other reason why a woman needs to keep her hat on indoors. It is 2025 and the double standard should end. Don't style your hair around a hat if you cannot remove the hat once you are indoors, especially in a crowded space.
 
I wear a hat almost every day and I don’t even like them. Well, I do like them in the winter, I don’t want to be cold. Six years ago I had failed eye surgery and one pupil is permanently dilated, so I have to keep my face shaded. The good thing is that it helps with sun protection for my face. I’d never worn ball caps; now they’re my norm. In the summer, I often wear a visor indoors. Some folks look good in a hat; I’m not one of them. Smushes my hair too.
