It is not permissible for a Muslim to imitate disbelievers in dress. If a hat or similar item is among their religious symbols or distinguishes them, then it is not permissible to wear it. However, if it has a benefit and is not exclusive to them, such as protective hard hats for workers, then there is no harm in it. As for wearing a cap with a side or back brim, it is not befitting for a Muslim.
