女士们和先生们，相信你们肯定尝试过佩戴礼帽，可你们知道礼帽的正确佩戴时间和场合吗？诚然，礼帽佩戴需讲究场合，而且男士和女士之间大有区别。
Ladies and gentlemen, you refined people who dare wearing this sophisticated accessory: do you precisely know when may you or not wear something on your head? Actually, rules are very different depending if you are a lady or a gentleman, and where you are.
只有在一种场合下, 女士们必须戴帽子，同时也强烈推荐男士们佩戴帽子：赛马场上。当然在其他的社交活动中，尤其是下午的室外活动，帽子也是十分常见的饰品。佩戴帽子不仅能帮您遮挡阳光保护眼睛，挡风保护您的发型，还能让您更添一分优雅。
Properly speaking, there is only on type of social events during which wearing a hat is mandatory for women and recommended for men: horse racing. It is also extremely frequent for any social outdoor event during afternoons. It would have the advantage to protect your eyes from the sun, protect your hair style from the wind, and to add an elegant touch on your attire.
女士 For Ladies
女士们佩戴帽子的场合相对比较自由。只要您外出或出席室外活动均可佩戴帽子，与别人见面时也不必脱帽。
Ladies have the biggest freedom with their hats. You can wear it outdoor for any occasion, tipping it off is none of their duty when meeting someone.
女士们在室内也可以佩戴帽子。比如到别人家中做客，出席婚礼，参加下午茶会，宗教仪式，观看电影或任何室内表演，甚至享用午餐或参加葬礼送葬，女士们都可以戴着帽子。但需要注意的是，即使佩戴帽子，女士们也要把眼睛露出来，因为帽子不是用来遮盖脸部的工具。
Women may also keep their hat at someone’s home, at weddings, afternoon receptions, religious services, for a movie or indoor performance. Even for lunch or for funeral processions you may keep your hat ladies. But beware, at all time we should be able to see your eyes. A hat cannot be a way to hide your face.
帽子脱下后，应该放在哪里呢？跟男士不同的是，女士们不能把帽子拿在手上，而应该把它放在一个安全的地方。如果是在剧院或其他有座位的场合中，女士们可以把帽子取下放在腿上；若是享用晚餐时，则应把帽子放在衣帽间。
If you remove it, where shall you let it? Unlike men it is not appropriate for a lady to hold her hat in her hands. She may leave it in a safe place, or on her knees if she is at the opera, the theatre or any seated activities – excepting dinner, during which her hat shall be given to the cloakroom.
男士 For Men
男士们戴帽子的礼仪更为讲究。
男士们可以在街上或者任何室外场合佩戴帽子。一旦进入室内，比如餐厅，家，教室，剧院，教堂，男士们必须脱帽。无论是正式的礼帽还是一般的帽子，皆是如此。法国人常说“只有教皇可以加冕三次”，意思就是只有教皇才可以在室内戴帽子。男士们在以下场合必须脱帽：送葬时，室外婚礼，教堂献礼，拍照或室外宴会。
Here the rules are stricter.
A gentleman may wear a hat on the street or in public spaces. He should remove his hat as he enters a building, including a restaurant, home, classroom, theatre, church. This rule includes any type of hats, from formal to casual. In French we say “only the Pope can be crowned 3 times”, meaning he is the only one who may wear a hat under the roof of a private home. Men's hats are to be removed for funeral processions, outdoor weddings, dedications, photographs, or for any outdoor lunchs and dinners.
在大型建筑中，电梯属于公共区域，男士入电梯可以不脱帽。但是在比较小的建筑物，比如小旅馆或者公寓的电梯中，电梯像是整个建筑中一个房间，入电梯时还是要脱帽。
In public buildings, the elevator is considered a public area, and therefore an area where a gentleman may leave his hat on. But elevators in smaller buildings such as hotels or apartment homes tend to have the character of a room in a house, a gentleman is then expected to take off his hat.
男士们脱帽后，帽子怎么拿在手里才合适呢？如下图所示，男士们拿帽子时，帽子的内部必须朝里。
Gentlemen, how to hold your hat in your hands when you are not wearing it? Removed hats are held in hand in such a way that only the outside and never the lining is visible.
男士们佩戴帽子还有另外一个作用：轻轻举起帽子前端露出前额（脱帽礼），表示对女士的问候，这是一种很传统的问候方式。但当男士跟女士聊天时，则必须脱帽。脱帽礼和军事敬礼的源起一致，都来自于中世纪骑士脱掉头盔面罩以示友好。
Finally, when wearing a hat, a man has another duty: lifting the hat off the forehead when meeting a lady (“tipping”). It is a conventional gesture to greet a lady. But beware, if you start talking with the lady you should remove your hat. This hat tipping custom has the same origin as military saluting, which came from the raising of medieval Knights face visors to show friendliness.
