TL;DW "after WWII people sought more relaxed casual attire, spent less time exposed to the elements, and rode in cars more where hats were cumbersome"
Yup. I do notice how many people don't even think to wear hats for sun exposure anymore and end up regretting that pretty quickly.
I always thought it was also because Kennedy didn't like hats. He felt bad, so he still carried a hat because his friend was a hat maker.
Edit: Nvm, found a good article:
"Kennedy not wearing a hat didn't kill it. It was its funeral."
Interesting
That's my take. Convincing my little kids to at least bring a hat when we canoe or hike, like I'm torturing them. Last hike we got rained on, "Why you keep wiping your face like that? OH, bet you wish you had brought your new hat!"
They're cooking in the sun while I dip my hat in the river and slap it on. No problems here!
My wife is far wiser. Despite being a city girl, like, never-been-in-the-woods-before city girl, she learned quick. We easily have 20 hats between us. And spares at camp, in the car, in the truck, everywhere.
