@JustMe: The hat is dead, as a style. It's reserved for people trying to cultivate affectations.

Wearing a hat is kind of like wearing a cloak-- it might look fine on someone, compelling you to say, "hey, nice cloak," to the guy wearing one, but you're certainly not going to wear one yourself.

Whoa, that is a pretty strong dismissal. You could say the same thing about any clothing embellishment, such as a tie or a tee shirt that says something-- "bow ties are for affected dandies that have nothing better to do but to dress up." Now would you be so judgmental about the color of the stripes on your tie?

To the contrary, hats are quite practical in when you are outside. I started wearing one after my kids were born, to replace an umbrella, because it freed up one hand. In the sun, you will have more stamina if you wear a hat; just ask a baseball player or a fisherman.
