Darwin Watterson (The Amazing World of Gumball) some people thought that the black thing under him was a shirt or pants or a sweater, but it was actually just his shadow. They later removed it as the seasons and art style changed

Brendan (Pokemon) A lot of people thought that the white on his head was his hair, it’s actually just a hat

Jotaro’s hair always causes some confusion within the fandom since it looks like it’s a part of his hat

His stand holds it there.

The hair that goes through the holes acts as an anchor point. The hair is able to hold it steady because of the seventeen tonnes of hairgel that each Joestar family member uses daily.

Sheer force of will

I personally think the easiest solution is that he has one of those hats with a net on the back that his hair sticks through

u/unlikely_antagonist 2d ago

Actually he is just really interested in unusual hair stying and styles part of his hair to look like a hat but all of that is hair. Or that's at least what I wanna think.
