The Shar Ephraim says to wear a hat for being olah to leining. The MB O’CH 91,12 says to wear a hat for davening as there was a custom to care for ones apperance such that people could look up and learn from the behavior of a talmid chacham. It is mentiioned in MB O’CH 8,4 says that davening with talis on the head brings to kavonoh, yiroh and hachnoah as the mashel above. Look at the Rambam Hilchas Yesodei Hatorah (5,11) how a talmid chacham must live up to the expectations otherwise it might be a chilul Hashem.
