Men's fashion is dreadfully boring, but one thing we used to have was a profusion and proliferation of different hats we could wear.

I know the m'lady meme and mall ninjas have forever cursed the fedora (as well as the actually, that's a trilby crowd), but those memes postdate the decline of the hat by several decades.

Currently, we only have baseball caps and beanies in common circulation, with impractical-for-sidewalk-use cowboy hats being the only extant outlier.

Does anyone long for the return of the hat and/or have any insight into what caused their decline?

I have no hair on top of my head, so I'm always wearing a hat. A Tilly in the summer and a toque in the winter. But I don't wear them for fashion purposes, strictly functional.

What I do wish would come into fashion are robes. So comfy and functional!

    Ah, a toque is a beanie hat, as far as I can tell.

    Do you mean bath robes or wizard robes?

    I'm thinking more like Coruscant fashion:

    I will always reference these when the lack of men’s fashion comes up. I don’t think these would suit everyone, but it’s just an example of how much more we could push.
