Men wore long wigs primarily in the 17th and 18th centuries as a fashion statement and symbol of status. The trend began in France under King Louis XIII, who wore a wig to cover his baldness, and it quickly spread across Europe among the aristocracy. Wigs were often elaborate and ornate, reflecting wealth and sophistication, and they served to convey social rank. Additionally, they provided a practical solution to hygiene issues of the time, as they could be removed and cleaned separately from the natural hair.
