Why do *you* tuck your ears into your hat???

[JoshAndEvsMom]

Ok, so DH teaches high school and no one seems to be able to explain this hat trend. I don't get it! Where did it come from?!? Was there a pracical reason which turned into fashion? Is it a status thing? And what's with the stickers?

Can anyone explain this to me? And BTW, I'm not judging this "foregin" (to me!) trend. Afterall, *in my day* it was cool to wear your clothes backwards!

I have no idea what you are talking about. Are you referring to people wearing baseball hats putting the tips of their ears under the cap? I do it sometimes depending how the cap is cut/made, otherwise it jabs me uncomfortably behind the ears or makes my ears stick out. Has nothing to do with fashion. Then again, I wear a baseball cap about 5 times a year.

I remember back in the 80's the ears were always tucked in the hat. It was a definite fashion trend. Now it's wear the ears untucked.

However, I have been noticing a LOT of 80's fashion trends seem to be popping up again!

I'd guess it's so you don't look like your Dad. My son is 13 now but when he was into baseball a few years ago they all wanted to wear them off to the side. It drove the Dads up the wall which was, I guess, sort of the point, it had no point other than to be different.

Man, apparently I am no good on my own! Someone really needs to come coach me on how to dress. I often have my ears tucked in my ball cap. Most caps are uncomfortable if I wear them any other way (guess I have a small head or something!)

Then again, when I was ten I had a pair of combat boots (literally, a soldier gave them to me and I was so proud of them!) and a pair of parachute pants. That was my favorite outfit ever, combined with a random baggy thift store tee. I don't know how my mother let me out of the house like that.

I guess fashion sins come naturally to me!
