I wear a wool driving cap almost every day, and have a nice felt fedora, and a couple of other hats that I wear on a pretty regular basis. They do look great, and they do serve the very practical purpose of keeping my head warm and dry in the fall/winter/spring and keeping the sun off of it in the summer - as I go most places by bicycle or walking. I think similarly, bicycles have become sort of fashion or lifestyle accessories as well, since almost everyone here (America) owns at least one car and uses it for basically all their transportation. Bicycles here aren't seen as just tools to get you from one place to the next as they are in many places in Europe (Denmark included), they must be some kind of statement or whatever.
