OK.
They are worn out of tradition and respect to God.
All Jews wear them whilst in a house of worship, and if in a synagogue, it is normally insisted that gentile men wear them as well.
The smaller ones will stay on your head on the back of your head if all you are doing is standing up and sitting down during the service, so that is what most people do. For more vigorous activities they are hairpinned on.
Reform Jews tend to only wear them in synagogue, but a few will wear them on a day to day basis.
As for orthodox Jews, it is more common to wear a yarmulke on a day to day basis.
Clearly taken off in the shower etc.
It seems to be only reform women who wear yarmulkes, orthodox women don't go in for such things.
