I'm almost that old - started my professional life back in the late 60'es. But I never ever wore a hat. I remember that when still in high school I looked forward to the day that I could wear one, like my father. But just a few years later wearing a hat became an absolutely NO-NO, probably as a consequence of the 68-generation.

Well, looking back, I never missed it, but I was one of the last persons within my environment to give up a tie, but eventually I did.

I see and understand your points regarding 'above the waist line' and wish you a great day!
