Hats really are making a come back. Do you wear a hat? Are the rules for removing said hat, the same for women as for men?

I wish I could wear hats. There are so many. I just get too hot when I do. VM - do you wear hats? I believe the rules are different for women. I don't think we are supposed to take off our hats when men enter the room, etc. I remember eating at a restaurant one day and "The Red Hat Society" were having their get together. What fun. Their hats were so interesting and many were hand made/decorated. I like this hat.... http://www.ladydianehats.com/images/CalcuttaB.JPG and this one.... http://www.hatcountry.com/images/Laguna.jpg Reply #1. Aug 17 10, 8:10 PM |

I absolutely love hats, but I'm not sure I'm a 'hat person.' I always follow the Red Hat Society. If I were to pick from your two...It'd have to be the cowgirl model! My eldest daughter wears hats. Her birthday is coming up...She wants fully padded bike shorts. (sigh) ;) Reply #2. Aug 17 10, 8:28 PM |

I don't like wearing them, although I have tried. Once upon a time, too long ago to remember, hats became briefly fashionable because Princess Anne had been wearing them. I bought a simple asymmetric hat in my favourite red, and wore it to work, and everyone in the office burst out laughing. I was very young and innocent, and had never heard the expression "red hat; no knickers." I don't know where it came from and how it started. A few years later I bought another one for a wedding. It was a similar shape to the red one, but it was cream and decorated with a couple of feathers. I wore it to my aunt's funeral and now I have no idea where it is. Scrunched up somewhere at the back of the wardrobe, probably. There have always been rules for hats - and jackets and ties and gloves - but fewer and fewer people give a hoot about them. I don't wear white gloves when I go to the shops, and I imagine that restaurants everywhere are full of men who shock horror take their jackets off to eat. Reply #3. Aug 17 10, 8:36 PM |

The fashion coverage said: "Never hide your eyes from strangers." Sort of implied that hats with a brim, must be taken off indoors, by both men and women... I always worry more about the people who turn their heads, and say nothing. If they're laughing out loud--Great! Reply #5. Aug 17 10, 8:44 PM |

I'm not a hat person, except for the battered old thing I wear outside in the sun. You have to in this country in summer or suffer the consequences. At boarding school they made us wear panama hats to church every Sunday. I hated the dopey things and kicked the stuffing out of mine until it looked as droopy as I did sitting up in church each week - with a nun on either side to make sure I behaved. Later on when we were allowed to wear berets, I kept mine in my locker beside a cage of two white mice I had that we weren't allowed to have - and they chewed a big hole in it, so it could only ever be worn at the one angle after that.

I have some hats that I like to wear. When I was in school, the rule was that you couldn't wear them in the building except on hat day. Reply #8. Aug 23 10, 11:03 PM |

The only hats I look good in are cowboy hats, but those aren't really practical here in the city :/ Reply #9. Aug 25 10, 7:23 AM |

Apart from the kind of hats one wears to avoid the onset of sunstroke, I hadn't worn a hat for years. Then last year a dear friend who was dying of cancer was was telling me what she had planned for her funeral service. Suddenly, with a smile as wide as the mouth of the St. Lawrence, she said, "And you, my dear, will wear a hat!" Accordingly, to honour my friend's wishes, I bought The Hat. It is a black straw, with a large, face-framing brim that tapers to nothing at he nape of the neck. It is glamorous and when I wear it I feel like a million bucks. Because I am at the age when I attend at least one funeral a month, the hat has had a lot of wear since that first outing, and I get more compliments on it than anything I've ever worn! Reply #11.

What a nice story, Cym! I'm glad you keep wearing 'the hat' even though the circumstances may not be happy...and we move along.:) Reply #12. Sep 26 10, 11:04 AM |

I'll wear a hat occasionally, but only at the beach or in extreme heat. I admire people who can pull 'em off, though. Reply #13. Sep 29 10, 6:29 AM |

Yes, I wear a hat when I go to a ladies tea or have to be in the sun for very long to shade my face. I also think a man should remove his hat when he goes indoors, that used to be common courtesy years ago, but with cowboys hats and baseball caps these days, I don't think it applies anymore, too bad, I miss the old days.

I have a couple of Akubras... one only fit for the stockyards, and the other gets worn once or twice a year to the local show, or a clearing sale. Other than that... don't own any hats. Reply #15. Oct 19 10, 3:56 AM |

I have a favorite hat that I decorated in the year of 1998 at summer camp. It has googley eyes on it & horseshoes & stars all over it. I'm planning on decorating a couple of hats for my nieces for Christmas, if I can afford it. Reply #17. Oct 28 10, 7:48 AM |

I usually wear a baseball cap when I am out in the Arizona sunshine for any length of time to keep the sun off my face. I stick my hair through the hole in the back. I also wear sunglasses, and sometimes a headset if I want to listen to some tunes. Reply #19. Mar 15 12, 5:41 AM |

I have over 50 baseball hats. My wife doesn't understand since I "have only one head." Reply #20. Mar 18 12, 5:03 PM |
