What Form of Cap to Choose This Summer?

Far from the cap screwed upside down on the head, with jogging and sneakers, the cap can also bring a retro-chic touch to your look, depending on the type of headgear you choose!

American caps, modernity par excellence

This type of hats is generally worn by American sportsmen fond of baseball or basketball. But it would be too reductive to limit them to this and this accessory has evolved since its creation in the early 20th century.

Among these US models, there is the fitted, a round cap without the hole in the back, the size of which depends solely on the head circumference. It has become the favorite accessory of some American stars such as Fifty Cent or Pharrell Williams and has allowed emerging in a few years brands like New Era.

The snapback, with a flat visor, worn by Rihanna or Chris Brown among others, is, unlike the fitted, totally adjustable thanks to a clip plastic strap. Released in the 80s, this type of cap has been a new craze in recent years, thanks to the diversification of products, for example with leather or fabric straps.

The curve is the emblem of American baseball players. Also called trucker, this cap is easily identifiable thanks to its curved visor. It comes in the form of a net, to let your head breathe.

Traditional caps, for a retro-chic look

For a more retro look, try the flat cap, more commonly known as a beret. Formerly a symbol of the workers, this fabric model is recognizable by its central button (not always present on contemporary models) and its small visor, brought by the American culture.

The paperboy hat, another symbol of the workers, is much deeper and is worn asymmetrically on the back or on the side.

The Irish cap is, more round and wide, sheep wool for a style "shepherd" that will have to assume!

Finally, the military cap is more strict with its short and rigid visor and its flat cap on the top of the head. It will associate perfectly with the wearing of the trellis, again trendy for a few years, for a look more "army".

Whatever your style, there is necessarily a cap made for you, to sublimate your outfit. You choose the model that suits you the most: anyway, in 2018, all the caps (or almost) are in fashion!
