Fashion history 101.0:
The demise of gentlemen wearing hats occurred about the time JFK became a public immage. Whereas Eisenhower almost always wore a hat when outdoors, JFK never wore a hat. So...it became fashionable for men to not wear hats. And speaking of men wearing suits and ties, my father and mother would always "dress up" even when just going to visit a friend, or even just go to the movies.

I only know what I know, and I don't understand very much of it, either.
