I usually wear a hat for utility. Otherwise, I don't like wearing things on my head.
For sun and rain, I wear a Tilley hat. It was a godsend when I was in Cuba for both purposes.
For the long winters, I have a toque. Of course.
The only way I'd wear a hat for fashion's sake is perhaps a fedora along with a suit. But only then, it would require me being outside for a certain length of time. I guess that would be both fashion and utility. I perhaps would require an overcoat as well.
