Hats are not as ubiquitous as they once were and most people either use them to decorate or just dump scarves and umbrellas in them.

Original riddle:
I can be very plain and utilitarian, but am usually decorative.
Current practices mean I'm not as useful as I once was.
Other objects can do my job as well as I can.
I have a mate that I rarely, if ever, see.
What am I?
Hint:
I'm only working if I stay in one place.
What is grief, if not love persevering?
Grief is just love with no place to go.
