In the 1700s, men wore hairpieces, often called wigs, as a fashion statement and a symbol of social status. Wigs were associated with the upper class and were seen as a way to convey wealth and sophistication. Additionally, they helped cover hair loss and were practical for maintaining a neat appearance, as personal hygiene was challenging at the time. The elaborate styles also reflected the trends of the era, with varying lengths and styles indicating different social and political affiliations.
