Formal hats were popular in an era where hoods and umbrellas were seen as unfashionable, and people still needed to protect their heads from sun and rain. In modern times, hoods and umbrellas have largely co-opted their role as rain gear.
Today, hats are more about expression and communication. For examples:
- Baseball hat: I'm a simple, practical person.
- Snapback: I'm young at heart. I might like hip hop or rap music.
- Mesh Trucker hat: I'm a blue collar worker and proud of it.
- Bucket hat: I enjoy spending time outdoors.
- Panama hat: I'm fun loving, relaxed, mentally/spiritually somewhere the sun always shines.
- Fedora: I'm either cringey or clueless. Avoid me.
- JimtheCoder 3y agoI thought hats were about covering up the fact that you are going bald...
- emodendroket 3y agoI don't feel like most of those stereotypes are really that accurate.
- 2ICofafireteam 3y ago- Panama hat: I have to wear it because my painfully strict upbringing requires it.
- wiredfool 3y ago- Triathlon baseball style hat— it sunny/windy and I want to hold my hair down/prevent sunburn - oiled canvas hat — it’s raining and the dog needs walked. - knit hat - it’s cold.
