Because at one time they looked good on men.  But it was contextual.  The men that wore them also wore suits.  It wasn't just the style of the day, it was pretty much the only style.  Decades and decades later, after the styles have all changed, some guys think that by wearing an old fashioned hat, they will simply become as "classy" as they perceive these men to have once been.  The hat looks silly with a pair of cargo shorts and even sillier in a sea of baseball caps.   Just because your snorkel and flippers make sense on a beach it doesn't mean you won't look strange wearing them at the shopping mall.  Just because you look distinguished in your cap and gown at high school graduation, you won't look very smart if you wear them to your first day of college.
