It's a Guy Thing

Men in hats. I'm intrigued by the apparent unconcern about how they look. I see "cool" young men, dressed in the latest but with what appears to be a tea cosy on the head, sometimes replete with crochet flowers (honestly I'm not joking). One of our men is currently wearing a pale blue floppy with big white daisies on it, he also favours a dusky rose floppy with a turquoise border. We once had a refuse man who sported a curly blonde wig with a shower cap on top but, teamed up with the pink nighty, I think he was making another statement.
Take a look around, good looking movie stars with silly beanies pulled down over their eyebrows. Another way to wear the beanie - pulled up at the top, resembling a teat on a babies bottle. How about the knitted baseball cap? for Arctic games perhaps? Then we have the cap back to front, the flat cap, plain or tartan, the ranger hat, the trilby (yes, still worn in Cape Town)and that unusual faux leather hat.
If I had the time and wherewithall I'd write a coffee table book about men in hats, with a short forward by David Attenborough, chronicling the rise and fall of head apparel, from the comb-over to the balaclava and all in between.
Just remember one thing - real men don't wear hoodies.
