Do you know why people loves to wear a cap or a hat when they don't have to ?

I don't wear any hats or caps for the same reason you mentioned in your post- I just look silly with them :)

My little brother is one of those people that is always wearing a baseball hat. The reason that he always wears a hat isn't because of the fact that he is bald (although he does keep his hair very short). For him, the reason that I believe he is always wearing a baseball cap is because of the fact that he is a huge sports fan and wearing hats to represent his favorite teams is one of the ways that he can show support for them.

I often see in young ones nowadays wearing hat or cap, and this i presume is only for fashion purposes. For the older ones, i believe it's for health reason and protection from direct rays of sunlight.

I waer a ball cap alot. I wear one when I work outside at the stable I work at. Mostly to avoid sunburn. At my other job I wear a ball cap,too. I also ty my hair back in a ponytail. I work in a kitchen and if I didn't wear a hat I would have to wear a hair net! I hate hair nets! I am vey comfortable waering a ball cap! I know guys who are bald and wear hats to hide their baldness! Some people just like wearing hats! Like me alot of people are required to wear hats,or hairnets, on the job. So as you can see there are alot of different reasons people wear hats!

My husband always wear a cap. That's because he has a patch of alopecia Orata on his head. I would always kid him, to take it down when he rides a public transport lest he be suspected as a holdupper!

In this world, 'everyone' looks at unkempt-hair as a sign of "lack of class." (Even if they consciously would not, subconsciously they do.) That way, a cap is kinda like 'a ponytail'---you just snap it on, and you're good to go!

Most of the time I don't wear hats/caps. But there were a few times that I had to. When I went through chemotherapy back in 2003, I chose to wear scarfs and hats after I started losing my hair. I didn't want to invest in a wig (I felt it would be very fake). It looks like I will have to make the investment again. Probably the kind people use in the winter to keep their head warm. Unfortunately, this time it will warm up before I finish my treatments so I will probably change over to using a scarf (made of light colorful material) so that I won't feel so hot.

Some people wear caps to cover up their hair, or as you stated, even lack of hair. I have known some people to say that they feel naked when they do not wear a hat. Their head just "feels different". There are a lot of people who look strange in a hat, though I have known many who seemed to just not look right without their hat, I suppose because I was so used to seeing them in one.

Some use it for fashion statement. I only wear a cap when it's highly necessary. I really hate having too many stuffs on my body apart from the normal jeans and shirt and footwear, of course. When I feel over-accessorized, I tend to be clumsy and accident-prone. I even hate bringing an umbrella.

Hi wildlittlefan, i personally dont wear hates. Those that I personally know do for a couple reasons. My brother wears hats he thinks it hides his receeding bald head. My husband will wear a hat when we are going to run out to the store and he doesnt feel like doing his hair. My sister in-law she wears hats just because she thinks she's cute hahaha... people have many reasons. I have tried especially in my younger days when I have to wear a hat for work in a restaurant. I didnt like the flat head look when i took them off :0) So they just arent for me but for the 3 people I mentioned above they have their reasons. have a great day

Well, wearing caps or hats I guess for some mostly is to protect from sun's heat or chilly weather others use it for style and the rest maybe for cover or camouflage or something.I for one uses it to for sun protection,good day to you

I am an average lover of hat and cap. So I do not wear them very often. However,I come from the oil rich niger delta region of nigeria. It is the culture of the people in my locality to wear a hat. It is the symbol of the region and that account for why the president of nigeria President goodluck jonathan who happens to come from the niger delta region of nigeria is often seen on hat when attending all governement functions or gathering. He is trying to tell the viewing public through his style of dressing about the culture of his own people. So I think some people wear hat to look good (style and fashion ) some wear it because that professional callings imposes it on them such as the people serving in the police, army, navy, airforce, school students etc Some wear it to disguise their baldness from others. Some wear it to prevent sun from affecting their head. So the reasons are many.

to be cool,i think.however,i don't wear a hat unless it's too cold or it's too sunny.

Probably most people use it for a style. Also, if you are not in the mood to brush your hair, the hat/cap hides a messy hair. ;-)

I love hats and I think I look good in them. That's why I wear them. I have a whole collection. But, I don't like caps. Not baseball caps. I like things like berets or hats that are fashion accessories. I've always liked how they look.

I think for some of the people who wears cap/hat is because they think it looks cool or it matches their style... I don't wear hat or cap even in the winter to go out UNLESS it snows out. I think it is uncomfortable for me and I feel my head can't breath However, I did wear hat a couple times when I played poker, just to create that professional image haha or to avoid people to look at my eyes

Some people like it because it's their style. It makes them feel better about themselves. It shows that it's them. I'm talking about hats mostly.

I don't wear hat or cap usually but I guess those who wear them treat them as accesories like jewellery.

Way back high school years, i always wear hats /caps for the reason of fashion and for the bad hair days..=

I think that its just a fashion statment, either that or people have just gotten so used to it they just can stop.
