Here is the 1925 law which wikipedia describes as banning men's hats. And here the 1934 law banning the veil and the (men's?) turban.

Yes, I don't think Yvain's story about prostitution is correct, but you seem to also claim that since many people wear veils, they must not be banned. I would not be at all surprised if there has been a law for 70 years banning them and even that no one talks about this law.
