Hats complete erotic dance costumes. Were they originally used for weather protection? I may start wearing hats as a signal to share my hornyness.level.
I do wear a cap when its likely to rain . I am not keen on coats with hoods on them . I tend to wear sports jackets and blazers most of the time and the cap particularly with a sports Jacket is an ideal compliment. It also fits in with my English Northern Lancashire roots For avoidance of doubt these are sports jackets not something with Nike imprinted on it
Apart from it getting knocked off, every time a walked through a door, Jane promised me a divorce when I started looking at hats. She said that I looked stupid and eccentric enough already.
i don't much care for hats, or hat symbolism. but i do wear a straw hat in summer now that i'm over 60, to protect from over heating. not sure how well that actually works, but its just like i wear my breath mask and my eyeglasses. when i worked in kitchens i wore those paper hats for sanitary, and when i worked where stuff might land on your head i wore a hard hat. but those are the only reasons, for the safety of others or self. not to make a fassion statement. people nonindiginous to where the lived, the descendents of raiders, in the 18 and 19 hundred, overdressed as a display of their recent ancestor's belligerance, though believing it to be the convention of their religious beliefs too. and yah you can wearn a yamakle or a turban or whatever if you sincerely share the beliefs that go with it, but if you single yourself out to associate/indentify yourself with something, well then of course all the ways that other people feel about that, both good and bad, you know you've identified yourself as taking that things possition, whether you realized it or not or intended it or not. i'm paranoid enough of being harrassed by random wannabe faschists as it is, i really prefer to remain as inconspicuous as possible, unless and except, when there's a really good reason. so there's a lot of things i distrust because of what they started out to mean, that probably any more don't always mean that, but i'm still not going to trust for sure that it doesn't. of course long hair no longer automatically means a pacifist either, so really you can't go by appearances of anything. i think nature, you know, we weren't born wearing hats. tails coming out of our belly buttons, but not hats.
I wore this type of head covering for 35 years. Only mine did not look this clean. And maybe just a tiny little bit more burnt
When I'm wearing a hat, I'm generally taking the position that my head's cold, rain is obscuring my glasses, or my bald spot, ears, & nose are getting sunburned, in descending order of probability. I'll defend those positions tenaciously, with boring, stilted prose and numerous supporting citations nobody ever reads. Maybe even charts.
No design amuses me, and I quite like my hair. A woolly hat during the winter's cold is about as good as it's gonna get with me.
Being red haired and freckled, growing up in the tropics it was a no-brainer to start wearing hats and sunglasses. Even so, I got melanoma and had lumps removed several times. No fun. Worst was the so-called 'field clearing' where they smear flourouracil ointment all over three times a day for a month... and let the chemotherapy burn out the actinic keratoses. Painful. I need to do it again
I can empathize. Grew up on a beach and paying for it now. Had biopsies cut from my nose recently. Benign but now am getting chemical peel treatments to burn off the suspect layers.
