TL;DW "after WWII people sought more relaxed casual attire, spent less time exposed to the elements, and rode in cars more where hats were cumbersome"
36I always thought it was also because Kennedy didn't like hats. He felt bad, so he still carried a hat because his friend was a hat maker.
Edit: Nvm, found a good article:
"Kennedy not wearing a hat didn't kill it. It was its funeral."

Yup. I do notice how many people don't even think to wear hats for sun exposure anymore and end up regretting that pretty quickly.
13less time exposed to the elements
That's my take. Convincing my little kids to at least bring a hat when we canoe or hike, like I'm torturing them. Last hike we got rained on, "Why you keep wiping your face like that? OH, bet you wish you had brought your new hat!"
They're cooking in the sun while I dip my hat in the river and slap it on. No problems here!
My wife is far wiser. Despite being a city girl, like, never-been-in-the-woods-before city girl, she learned quick. We easily have 20 hats between us. And spares at camp, in the car, in the truck, everywhere.
4hoods are superior to hats anyway. I will never buy a jacket or coat without one.

I saw that in my feed and thought, "because it's a needless pain in the ass most of the time unless it has utility?"
When every man and woman had to wear a hat whenever they went out and those hats did very little to do things like keep them warm or cool (especially women's hats)... what's the fucking point?
1My hypothesis is cars. Most hats are a pain in the ass with a car
10I’ve definitely noticed significantly more people still wear hats in the city. Walking all over the place and taking trains and busses means way more outside exposure day to day so could explain why more people still wear hats around here.
2Yeah, he mentioned that. Makes a lot of sense to me.
3I just realized this was a video and not a discussion thread. My bad, lol

Fashion has declared it to be so
...I am fashion, for the first and only time ever.
5good historical video

0Maybe in the winter. Sun protection don't need a coat.
13No good in the rain, too hot in the sun.
8Hooded cloaks will make a comeback once the heatpocalypse turns into the next ice age
