Baseball caps for spring
April 15, 2015
The “athletic-inspired” trend is dominating street style this spring. From the comeback of Adidas and New Balance sneakers to the increasing popularity of silky baseball jackets, sportswear has become a serious endeavor among designers and fashion gurus alike. The simplest approach to athleisure credits the time-honored baseball hat.
It’s not as easy to wear baseball hats as seamlessly as celebrities and bloggers pull them off. Responsiveness to this trend has made this an easier feat, contributing more fashionable alternatives to the classic cap. Here are four looks that make baseball hats work for class, brunch and work.
Sporty
You can represent your favorite sports team in style by pairing a cap with basic pieces. A plain T-shirt in a solid color and distressed jeans create a casual vibe, perfect for running errands or a day full of studying.
Printed
A dressier approach; printed baseball hats are the new statement piece. Wearing this cap with a feminine skirt or dress will give any outfit an unexpected flair. This combination is the chic technique for concealing greasy hair.
Minimalist
A minimalist cap, best in neutral colors, is the ideal topper for a busy outfit; think patterned pants or an embellished T-shirt. Felt and leather options offer a modern update to the sporty trend. It’s a subtle approach that’s suitable for the office.
Edgy
Logoed baseball hats can turn any ensemble into downtown chic. Opposite an eccentric dress or a pair of overalls, a kitschy cap makes for an easy conversation starter and boosts your street cred at the same time.
