I heard that it was because so many men served in the military during WWII. I still have nightmares where I can’t find my Cover.

Nonsense. The interstate highway system did little or nothing to change the number of people who drove cars and commuted to work.
It was JFK and the swooning Camelot tale spinners in the media.

NPR idiot.
Lower than a obama supporter.
Look around doofus.
Formal hats have been replaced with more practical hats.
And why spend time on such an issue?

The same conspiracy that got Men Without Hats were warmed up from killing off Toni Basil.

Absence of hat racks?

I adore hats...I wear what’s left of women’s hats, and my husband sometimes does the boonie hat type thing, or his redneck straw “cowboy” hat or a baseball cap on backwards (gear-head style)...and those are just the warm season hats!
Wish they would come back for ladies like the good old days...they were works of art and so expressive.
So much nowadays is unisex. I don’t even like the word.

That’s a cap and not a hat.

People on TV and in the movies stopped wearing hats, and society followed.
Edward Bernays was a person who tried to get movies to always show someone smoking to sell cigarettes, and he’d rent famous diamond jewelry for women to wear in movies (he’s the origin of A Diamond is a Girl’s best Friend, I think).
If you constantly see something in the media, you are likely to see it as normal and perhaps wonder why you aren’t doing it too.
