Caps – sporty, stylish and always on trend

Topic overview

The history of the cap
Which cap is the right one for me?
How do I wear a cap?
The right way to care for your cap

Nowadays, caps are an indispensable part of the fashion world. If you take a look at the outfits of international stars, you can see that caps are also part of women’s sporty wardrobes – they simply spice up the style. The price differences are now just as varied as the types of caps: While basic caps can be bought for as little as $15, the price of some unique styles can sometimes run into thousands of euros. This shows that caps are meanwhile well-established and respected fashion accessories.

But where do these trendy peaked hats come from originally? The most popular version is still the baseball cap, especially those with New York Yankees lettering – and this takes us astonishingly close to the beginning of cap history.

Trucker cap

The history of the cap

As the name suggests, the so-called baseball cap originally comes from the American sport of baseball. Caps with panel designs were first worn in 1849 by the New York Yankees baseball club. The long peak cast far better shade over the eyes than the straw hats previously used by the team. As a result, caps were widely worn in stadiums – and not only by the players, but increasingly by the fans, too. These fans also wore their caps outside the stadiums to show their support for a particular team. This meant that caps became more and more established in society.

As a trademark of the young skateboarder scene, the baseball cap gained popularity from the 1970s onwards and is now probably the most widespread sports accessory out there. This is thanks in large part to the fact that these hats can effortlessly combine practical functionality with cool designs. This is why many designers have chosen the baseball cap to express their creativity. Today you can find caps in all imaginable colours and with a wide variety of prints.

What types of caps are there?

A flat brim cap has a straight peak, a trucker cap has a mesh back, and a visor cap has no crown at all. Then there is the brand New Era, which uses its own terms for its cap models, such as 59Fifty, 9Fifty or 39Thirty. Who can keep track of all that?

Don't worry, we have created a detailed overview of all cap types. From adjustable caps (snapbacks and strapbacks) to flat-cut newsboy caps and square army caps to classic 6-panel baseball caps, we have listed and explained everything there. The visor, crown and fastening are the key factors that determine the different cap styles.

Various American sports caps

Which cap is the right one for me?

Anyone who has decided to purchase a cap is now faced with a huge selection, especially on Hatshopping. That’s why we have created a decision-making tool to help you. Because no matter how stylish it is, the cap has to suit you at the end of the day! The right choice depends partly on your face shape. The following points apply to both men and women.

Kopfformen

Round

It is important to visually lengthen round faces and to create asymmetry. Flatter models like a flat cap push down from above and very rounded hats like docker caps without peaks look boring. So we recommend opting for the following squarer types of caps:

Army caps
Flat brim caps
Structured caps

Square

We recommend people with this face shape opt for hats with the opposite shape to your own. The face can be balanced out by rounded and softer shapes. Our recommendations:

Baseball caps with curved peaks
Trucker caps with curved peaks

Heart-shaped

People with a heart-shaped face are lucky because they can wear almost all hat models without hesitation. The only thing to consider is that the peak should not be too wide or angular, as this could make the forehead appear wider.

Flat caps
9Forty und 39Thirty caps
Trucker caps with curved peaks

Oval

This face shape suits all hats and caps. Just make sure it doesn’t make your face look too long. You can even choose a cap with a wide peak.

Flat caps
9Fifty und 59Fifty caps
Unstructured caps (dad hats)

What’s my cap size?

You need to have at least an approximate idea of your head circumference to make sure your cap is neither too tight nor too loose. To determine your head circumference and the correct size, simply follow the instructions in our guide on measuring cap size.

In our online shop, the size of the cap is listed on the product page so you can easily compare it to your own head circumference.

If you’re not completely sure, you can choose one of our one size fits all caps, as they fit several head sizes. The most popular one size fits all caps are those with a strapback or snapback closure. Flexfit caps (also called flex caps) are a special type of closed cap (also called full caps). They have an integrated stretch band that makes them flexible to wear for different head sizes.

However, if you’re confident of your cap size, you can try one of our stylish fitted caps. These have no fasteners or stretch bands, making them perfectly adapted to a specific head circumference, hence the name “fitted”.

How do I wear a cap?

Not only are there lots of different types of caps, but also numerous ways in which to wear them. In the 1980s, for example, the trend of wearing the cap with the peak facing backwards emerged for the first time and can still be seen today. The trend of wearing the peak at a slightly offset angle has also been around for a long time. These are fashionable trends, but you have to ask yourself:

Why was the cap originally worn?

Face protection
Sun and UV protection
As a good alternative to a classic sun hat

Cap worn backwards

These days, caps are worn as more of a fashion statement or as a way to cover up a bad hair day. In sunny weather, the functional benefits of a cap that is worn with the peak at the front should not be underestimated. However, wearing the cap with the peak facing backwards can also protect the neck from the sun.

The way you wear a cap is not as important as a hat. The most important thing is how it fits. The big question here is “above the ears or covering the ears?” and it cannot be answered with a sweeping statement. It depends on your face shape and your own tastes. Everyone should take a look in the mirror and check, for example, that covering the ears doesn’t stretch out an oval-shaped face too much. Traditionally, caps are worn just a little bit above the ears and are only slightly lower on the back of the head than on the forehead.

Combining with outfits

The correct way to wear a cap naturally also implies making the right outfit choice. Thanks to the numerous model variants in different styles in our range, you will almost certainly be able to find the right cap to go with every look. Stylistic breaks can be exciting – try wearing a baseball cap with an everyday outfit or even with a sophisticated ensemble, and not just in black.

New Era, adidas, Stetson and many other quality brands have sporty caps in different designs, colours and shapes for both men and women. For the younger generation, caps from brands such as Mitchell & Ness, Djinns, Von Dutch, Quicksilver and iriedaily are particularly popular and look great worn with skater clothing and casual styles. For older wearers, stylish flat caps or newsboy caps are very popular and can be worn with winter coats or with jumpers and jeans in the autumn.

The right way to care for your cap

A true cap enthusiast wears their favourite hat often – so proper care is essential to keep it looking its best. Cap maintenance comes down to two fundamentals: cleaning and storage. For detailed advice on washing caps, we’ve put together a dedicated information page at Hatshopping. In essence, there are three ways to clean your cap: by hand, in the washing machine or using the dishwasher. Which method suits which type of cap is explained thoroughly on our page about washing baseball caps.
With our specialist tips and guidance, your new Hatshopping cap will become a lasting companion that complements a wide range of outfits. Explore our shop for on trend fashion caps and find your perfect accessory. We hope you enjoy shopping for your new headwear!
