Why don't we men all wear hats all the time like they used to in the old days?

Apparently, men stopped wearing hats, when the roofs of the cars got smaller.  I guess they got tired of taking them off all the time and having someone sit on them.  I think those old hats are coming back in style now, but with more color.  I see a few brave guys wear them.  I think some of them look pretty cool if done right

Well, regardless what anyone thinks, males have dominated society as we know it, even before Jesus' time. As styles and fashion changed, so did the places we shaved. \n\nToday, most people are into the hairless thing. Eyebrows or the lack of them would look stupid because it leaves you expressionless, around the eyes. I know because I've shaved mine off once (don't ask). \n\nMen don't shave their legs because it's a pain in the a$$! Women shave them because we made them do it. Men who had stroke imposed upon women the notion that, a smooth hairless body is beautiful. For the purpose of being accepted and being successful in attracting a mate, given those standards, women began doing that.\n\nI find this odd, especially considering, in nature, the males are the ones that have to go through all the b.s. to court the female of the species. Look at birds, for example. Why do you always see male animals fighting? To impress the females. \n\nOur species has every thing, a$$ backwards in some respects. But we're apes and apes are nutty.\n\nIn regards to the shaved heads, ask a balding guy what he wishes he could change physically about himself and I'll bet included in his top 5 answers is, I'd want my hair back. Look at lions, a full maine is an important symbol of masculinity. Just as it is a symbol for females. Although, now we are much more open minded and have embrassed the shaved look. I'm one of millions who has done this. \n\nStyles change with time. Self expression will never be limited to one idea. People who change the way they look are often of the idea, that they can change themselves.

Because men are feminized now.  it is really difficult to meat a true man these days.  i cannot stand that style at all. i especially cannot stand it when boys wear girl jeans with glittery belts....

i think its ok to wear both. i mean what did they wear in the old days to keep warm. people just think that if you wear fur its horrible cause it comes from an animal but so does leather so i don't see the difference. if i had somewhere fancy to go i would wear my fur coat i don't care. its no different then what the did in the good old days to keep warm.

Well guess what, the Browns don't have any either. Besides, they are a distraction to our longstanding tradition. As far as changing the helment design...If it ain't broke, don't fix it! Because of the lack of tradition in today's football, the game has been changed due to new driving force of the game...money! It's nice to see teams, such as the World Champion Pittsburgh Steelers to hold on to traditional values, because that what gives a team it's true identity. Our core of values is what makes Pittsburgh so easy to identify and respect. So I can speak for all the the diehards, don't change a thing!

Women wearing hats are the only exception to this etiquette rule.  They are allowed to wear their hats both indoor and outdoor at any and all times if desired.

I'm thinking......are you good at fashions?  What about the evolution of clothing?  Why did women wear corsets in the 20's and beyond.  Why was the Nauru collar a dud fashion in America...Why do men still wear ties? ( you could write a book on that alone) Why clogs, why see-through dress's in the 60s, go-go boots, mini skirts....wow! a million different fasts and opportunities and lots and lots of  pictures on the web.  Even throw in some early photos of fashions from your folks family album, grand parents. THE EVOLUTION OF FASHION...right up your alley...right.  Let me know how it turned out.. You're looking at an A+ here.

Actually YES! They still do even now and have allways been so during known human history. \nDuring the industrial revolution there were mainly two social classes: the owners of the land and means of production and the laborers.\nFirst there were the manufacturing workers. These were over-abused over exploited people, forced sometimes to work even 12 to 16 hours a day to earn their living. They wore plain cotton and linnen clothes, sometimes in the winter they also used woolen clothes. Since payment was very low and there was no actual compensation of the hard work, people had to primarily attend to their basic needs: home and food and there was often too little to be spent on clothing and footwear. Wooden sabots were often the basic footwear, with leather boots as a sign of distinction.\nJewels were rare and often included plain metal rings and earrings, or glass beads. Later on, as manufacturing developped, better clothing became more or less available for the masses as cotton and linnen clothes were cheaper and easier accessible.\nThen there were the agricultural workers whose status and quality of life differed and who often wore woollen garments made in house (knittings and sort) and also home made linnen. They too purchased cotton fabrics and also at times, more expensive cotton fabrics such as velvet for use in their sunday clothes.\nThe upper classes wore fashionable clothing, made from materials ranging from silk brocade, wool, cashmere, silk shirts and underwear. As allways, female clothing was extremely ellaborate and often, precious metal ornaments could be found even in footwear.\nWomen wore, in accordance to the occasion and weather a wide range of footwear, in all sorts of materials, from silk, embroidered brocade to high quality soft leather.

Mostly they wore clothes but beyond that the styles were different but pretty simple.  this time was the Great depression and WWII.  It was not a time of extravagence.  Shirt-style dresses were pretty popular among women.  Since women could not afford to buy stockings, they drew lines up the back of their legs with pencils to fake it.  \n\nI figure you are more interested in women's and not mens.  As I do reseaarch in the area, I often hit up the vintage clothing sites.  Another place to look is recreated vintage clothes.  Check out the websites below, they show some of the styles.  ReVamp is new clothes in the old styles, which means much better wearing and washing. then you won't ruin that lovely vintage wear by actually wearing it.

From an article in the Christian Science Monitor:\n\nThe first baseball team, the Knickerbockers, wore straw hats! From the 1840s to the 1870s, players wore all sorts of hats - boating caps, jockey caps, even bicycling hats.\n\nIn the 1870s, a pillbox-style hat with a flat top and a short visor became popular. This was the "Chicago style" cap. It often had horizontal stripes around it that made it look a little like a layer cake.\n\nIn 1860, the Brooklyn Excelsiors wore a cap that's a forerunner of today's rounded-crown, large-visor caps. This "Brooklyn style" had evolved from a "Boston style," and it caught on about 1900. It had a tight crown and a button on top, placed toward the front.\n\nThe modern cap arrived in the 1940s, when latex rubber replaced buckram (coarse cotton) as the stiffening material inside the visor. Now the visors could be longer.

i think it stems from our history of nurturing......we took care of everything while the men were out "hunting".  it is in our nature to take care of everything and as tired as it might make us we do feel fullfilled when everyone is taken care of.  i think we are more tired now because most of us have to hold down jobs AND take care of the home/kids.  more respect needs to be put on the womans role in society as "taking care of a home"

My first husband starting losing his hair at a very young age too and then it got drastically worse after he joined the military.  He went through a million doctors telling him the same things that I'm sure you're hearing but he finally found a doctor that told him that because he was a active in sports during his High School years and usually wore a baseball hat that he believed this added to it.  Then when he joined the military (and he always wore a hat)...he lost even more.  The doctor said that it wasn't healthy for your hair to always be covered by a hat and that sometimes the rubbing from the hat could also be a factor.  Do you wear hats alot?  That just might be the cause.  Good luck.

For many thousand years, tans were looked upon as "working class" and no respectful rich land holder would be seen with a tan.\n\nThen in the twentieth century, the rich and elite were able to lounge around in the sun in warm climates and when they came home to cold old Northern USA, everyone looked upon their tans as a status of success.\n\nHuman nature always tends to lean towards wanting what we do not have, so fair skinned people wish they had more color, dark skinned people wish they were lighter.  Curly haired woman, want straight hair, straight-haired woman, want curly.  The list goes on and on.  Human Nature.

Society has changed. Women are much more attuned to the fact that they make up part of society. They are, generally, much less reliant on a man for their well being than in the past. In the days you seem to be speaking about women did not earn a wage so where dependent on the man. That is no longer the case and, that being so, will strike out on their own rather than put up with men having mistress because it was 'acceptable'. What you call 'rose coloured glasses' is a throw back to the days when it really was a man's world. Laws made by men, for men...........the time you are talking about .....marriages didn't work any more or less than they do now............what is different is that in those days women were expected to look after home and family and be totally reliant on the man, as wage earner. The difference is that women are less likely to 'grin and bear it' because her very existance depends on it..which back, even not that long ago, was the case.

Had not heard that!  But have long time been curious myself about it.\nHave heard it is in part to that gangster look.\n\nEither way, no less attractive than these young girls with their underwear strap showing above their lowriders.\n\nWhen I was growing up and your clothes were too big for you, you simply did not wear them or shared them with someone who could......whatever happened to self respect about how you look?!\n\nAlso - what is the purpose of having a hat or visor with a bill and wearing it on the backside of your head?\nDuh - the bill is to keep the light out of your eyes.\n\nMercy and this is the next generation to guide our country!
