You can blame president Kennedy for the lack of hats in modern America. Kennedy was handsome, youthful, and a trendsetter. He didn't wear hats and started a trend. 
On the positive side, he rather liked a little spy novel called "From Russia with Love" and gave Ian Flemming and James Bond a huge boost.
I have never gotten weird looks for wearing any of my fedoras, caps, berets, etc. Though people tend to remember me for being the guy with a lot of hats. The one problem I have with wearing kilts is they seem to go better with the soft caps and berets which are a bit harder to doff to a lady than a fedora. Bowler hats, like top hats seem to require a very specific manner of dress to pull off (three piece pin stripe suit and tux with tails respectively).
If you like hats, then by gum wear a hat! (Just not indoors 
)
