Where can I wear a hat?<\/b><\/h3>\n

Where can\u2019t I wear a hat?<\/b><\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re serious about etiquette, you should remove your hat at in church, in schools, in theaters and in anyone\u2019s home other than your own. It\u2019s also polite to remove your hat while frequenting a business.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s also not appropriate to wear a hat during a wedding, funeral or other formal service, especially the national anthem. In addition, you should remove your hat when having your photo taken.<\/span><\/p>\n

Other considerations<\/b><\/h3>\n

    \n
  • Removing your hat to greet someone or introduce yourself? You can simply lift it off your head for a moment to be polite. Nod and smile at the person before returning your hat to its position.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • If you completely remove your hat, hold it in a way that doesn\u2019t show the inner lining.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Go old school and simply tip your hat by the brim and tug it slightly. It\u2019s not as formal as completely removing your hat, but it\u2019s a cowboy-like way to remain polite.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Wearing something on your hat, such as a pin or feather? Keep it on the left side. (Ornamentation goes on the right side of the hat for women.)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
