It's sad because hats are so practical, I was at an outdoor event on the weekend getting toasted in the sun with just a trucker hat, because I didn't have the balls to wear my much more practical and protective cowboy hat

That's it.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

This is when I wear my tilly hat. Less ostentatious than a stetson and much better ventilation. Granted, it's not as elegant either.
Baseball cap with a tea towel tucked under it (or if you're really fancy, hemmed on)

Just waiting for ones I'd actually use. Cowboy and old-school hats don't really fit me, but berets are kind of hipster and don't either, so yeah.
Wear the hat you want to see in the world!
I'm thinking about getting a fez, probably a good handmade one. Fezes are cool.

No. Don't feel strongly about hats. Wouldn't want to live someplace where wearing a hat is expected. I'm a band T-shirt and jeans kind of guy though.
I have good hair so I never really got into hats until recently. I realized I don't mind getting wet when it's raining a little, except I want protect my glasses from getting rained on. So I bring a hat but skip the jacket, unless it's raining heavily. I feel like carrying around a jacket isn't worth the trouble. Plus my apartment has a covered garage. I can only get so wet in the few seconds it takes to get inside from parking. Plus most of my jobs have had covered parking.
Personally I don't like how hoods block your peripheral vision. I have a fondness for the old hat + trench coat combination, although I own neither. I just like a waterproof baseball cap.

You can just wear a hat, I have a toque I'm quite fond of.
I have a tall stack of kangol caps waiting in the closet for this.
you might like the hat historian on youtube
No
I'm not sure where you are but, around here it's pretty common to have some kind of hat. As you mentioned it's usually a baseball cap but, we do have sunblockers(I think thats the name?), fisherman caps and occasionally straw hats.
I have never been a hat guy though, I occasionally will wear a ball cap but it's only if I'm going to be outside a lot.

I do not care at all about fashion. I throw on a ballcap if it's sunny and I'm doing yardwork or it's raining and I want to keep the rain off my glasses. More rarely, if out in intense sun for a long time, I have a couple of other hats. That's the extent of the time I'm wearing hats (and that's more because I need to than ever want to).
I wear a wide brimmed straw or wool hat when I'm outside. Skin cancer runs in my family. I don't really care what other people think about it.
Eh. In winter I wear my wool fedora. Rest of the year I wear flatcaps as smart casual, snapbacks with street style or my Tilly when I’m up and about outside the city.
??? Winter is coming.
