Luxe Minimalism

We men owe a lot to those stylish Scandinavians, so what better way to doff a cap to them than by going understated, clean and minimal in the headwear department? And everywhere else, for that matter.

Tactile fabrics like suede, wool and corduroy are all great options for affording your headgear a touch of luxury; particularly when paired with classic wardrobe staples such as a lightweight jacket and slim-fit chinos.

Summer Ready

 But more than just being a way of avoiding forcibly squinting at the sun, the right style can also add some personality to a bog standard shorts and T-shirt look.

On warmer days down at the beach or in the beer garden, use your cap to tie your outfit together by picking one in the same colour as another part of your outfit – be it your shirt or your sandals.

Just make sure your chosen topper also goes with the other layers in your bag for when day drinking inevitably becomes a night session.

Tonal Tailoring

If you’d told someone in the nineties that in two decades’ time people would be wearing baseball caps with suits , they’d probably have choked on their 3D Doritos and dropped their Walkman.

Simply pair a plain, premium-looking cap with an unstructured blazer worn over a T-shirt and finish with and a pair of crisp sneakers.

Even someone from the nineties couldn’t say that doesn’t look great.

From The Streets

The love affair between high fashion and streetwear is still very much in its honeymoon period.

However, the look can be more than a little OTT for most people’s tastes.

So before you rock up to the pub in a floor-length Vetements anorak and a pair of Ozweegos, consider giving a nod to the scene in a more subtle manner.

Opt for a 5-panel or dad cap style, along with a hoodie or logo T-shirt and some cropped trousers or jeans.

That way you can embrace the streetwear aesthetic in public, without looking like a try-hard.

Transitional Topper

The two annual periods of limbo between the scorching heat of one season and the frigid cold of the next can be notoriously difficult to dress for.

But ditching the bobble hat or bare head for a baseball cap is a great place to start.
