Unless you spend a lot of time in the bright sunlight or out in the cold, today there is little reason to wear one so now they just look silly. I kind of agree

I kind of agree; some people look good in some hats, mostly though people look best in hats when the hat is serving some specific function.
OTOH, I know a few people, and see quite a few more, who wear hats all the time. Know a guy who was married in a hat. Know a guy who wears a wool cap no matter how hot it is.
I assume this is just some cultural difference, though I'd be interested in hearing from any all-the-time hat wearers how they came to decide this was a good thing.
- LeafStorm 15y agoI wear a black fedora just about everywhere, mostly because I think it looks cool. I later came to discover a couple other benefits, including: - It's easier for people to recognize you if you have a hat that you always wear. (Conversely, if you want said people to not recognize you, you can take the hat off.) - It's also easier for people to find you in a crowd if they know you're wearing a hat. - If you Scotchgard it, it's reasonably waterproof and can keep rain out of your face. - Occasionally random people tell you, "Nice hat."
- Drbble 15y agoOur success is predicated on hats being not popular, though.
- jff 15y agoA few more things to discover: - If you're not wearing a suit, and you're not Indiana Jones, you shouldn't be wearing a fedora. - Fedoras never, ever go well with a terrible patchy little goatee. I went to a tech school, I have stared into the abyss of fedoras and it has changed me. Also, leather fedoras are the most terrible abomination ever created.
