Clothing for Men

Q: I recently bought a yellow and a dark pink jersey. Please advise if wearing this is allowed.

Q: A friend of mine was told by his sheikh that it is ok if he does not wear his topi to work. I was going to tell him to ask what the wisdom behind that was. I know with all the stuff that is going on it could be a reason. But it does not sit well with me. The Yahood wear there hats. The Sikhs wear there turbnans. Why should us Muslims be afraid to be Muslims or shy away just for there work places. Please explain me the wisdom because I keep getting bad thoughts towards his sheikh. I stop them as best as I can. But it is just bothering me.

Q: I require the following clarifications regarding wearing a Topi.

1. Did Rasul Allah Sallallaahu Alaihiwa Sallam and the Sahaabah Radhi Allahu ​Anhum nurture the habit of wearing Topi during their lifetime? Sahih Bukhari 275 mentions of an occasion when Rasul Allah Sallallaahu Alaihiwa Sallam led the Jamaath having just completed his Ghusl with water dripping from his hair. Similarly other references that Rasul Allah Sallallaahu Alaihiwa Sallam did not wear Topi are mentioned in ​Nasa'i -5219, 4980,  Muslim - 4666, 4680, 4270 Bukhari - 3548, 352, 353 and Abu Dawood - 592, 3658.
2. Did not this practise actually originate in Turkey when it became the capital of the Islamic empire, whose citizens had a traditional habit of wearing the tall and round Topi?
3. Why do Muslims in many countries offer Salaah without the Topi? Are they going against the Deen? Is their Salaah not valid? 
4. Then why do not Muslims who go on Haj/Umrah not wear a Topi (covering their head) by un-stitched cloth like they wear for Ihram?
5. So, going by the above Sahih Hadith, is it still mandatory to wear the Topi ? Is it not a Bid'ah?
