Baseball caps - yah or nay?

[Sylvestre]

So, it appears that it's almost become socially acceptable to wear one at a funeral. Does that mean it can be fashionable or will it always represent a juvenile look?
What are people's thoughts on caps?

[zegerman]

Baseball caps at a funeral?!? dont think so .. pretty disrespectful IMHO. Don't think it's proper to wear one in a formal setting i.e. funeral, wedding, workplace. Anywhere else it is casual is ok to me.

Caps are very versatile, I'm definitely giving a to rocking some headwear. Preferrably fitted, as opposed one-size-fits-some or an adjustable plastic strap.

...but not at a funeral.

agreed...

Personally I don't like Baseball Caps. They don't go well with anything unless your a "gangsta", being in the sun, or going to the game.

the funeral comment was an exaggeration meant as a joke

but lately I'm seeing them allowed in quality restaurants, clubs and the like.

Completly dissagree, ive been wearing hats my whole life, never in a "Gansta way", tight round curve and my cap foward. Classic look that'll never fade.
And to stay on the original topic baseball caps at a funeral is definatly disrespectful.

lol @ "gangsta"

But to add on to the list...umm a baseball player perhaps?

I love baseball caps on guys (but only in the jock/all-american way, not in the "gangsta" way).

But you shouldn't be wearing any head gear that obstructs your face when sitting down to eat (whether it be in a restaurant or even at home). This includes guys and girls. The only exception is patio dining.

To answer the OP, I think baseball caps are still considered to be casual and carefree. Some people may consider this juvenile, I don't, but it's definitely a casual look.

I've always uncovered my head for respect (serious events)

i used to rock the new era hats a few years ago, but i got tired of spending $40 every time i wanted one...i just wear the plain solid colour flexfit hats now because it's cheaper on the wallet...

and a definite no to wearing hats at formal events for me

[Corizzle]

I have a New Era Jays and a Nike Leafs full back hat, both were birthday gifts and I love them. I think they are perfectly fine for most occasions, funerals not being one of them

I don't where a hat often, but when I do it's normally because I'm playing a sport.

Alot of higher end clubs do not allow baseball caps...I've seen people denied entry due to it.

I spent the $6 for a membership at Lids for 20% off, already paid for itself. Works out to something like $35 after tax per hat; still expensive, but worth it if you get 3+ hats a year (I share it with friends and family).

Athlete's world and some other athletic stores are also doing a Buy 1, Get 2nd 50% off on hats and they carry some New Era ones. Selection of styles and sizes isn't nearly as good, but they have most of the major hockey and Jays caps.

I wear one a lot. Just not indoors.
