Men's baseball caps: varieties and tips for choosing

Modern men pay no less attention to their appearance than women. To form a complete look for shoes and clothes, it is sometimes important to choose the right headdress. Very often, men's baseball caps become this wardrobe item. In this article, we will look at the varieties of this headdress and learn how to choose the right one.

Over the past decade, a baseball cap as an element of men's wardrobe has become very popular among men of all ages. Previously, the described headdress was an attribute only of athletes or sports style. At the same time, the thing was exclusively a summer option, but today manufacturers have gone further and offer their customers various models and options for any season and weather conditions.

But apart from fashionistas and lovers of certain styles of clothing, there are those who are not interested in modern styles, and when choosing clothes and hats for themselves, they are guided only by the convenience of wearing. Oddly enough, but such people almost always choose a baseball cap as a headdress. You don't need much from the accessory - protect your eyes from the sun, rain and wind, cover your head. The described wardrobe item can easily cope with all these tasks.

The homeland of the baseball cap is America. It got its name from a sport called baseball. In this sport, players are forced to be under the scorching sun for a long time, and at the same time, it should not blind them. It is very difficult to hit a small ball when blinded by bright light. After the first successful introduction of such a headgear into this sport, the first baseball caps with team logos began to appear. In those days, it was considered a "shortage" among the fans. Everyone wanted to have a baseball cap with the sign of their favorite team in their wardrobe. Over the years, this luxury has become quite common, and today it is a common item in men's wardrobe.

Some young people want to match the image of a "bully" and for this they choose a baseball cap as a headdress. And if this is an accessory from a well-known manufacturer, then, in addition to style, a certain thing can speak about the consistency of its owner.

To choose the right baseball cap, you need to understand their types and at least know the name of specific varieties. Let's consider the most popular options.

• 5-panel Cap - from the name it can be understood that this type of baseball cap consists of 5 elements combined with each other. Traditionally, there is some kind of logo on the front of such a model, and an adjustment buckle on the back.

• Needle hat - this is the most familiar "cap" for us. It consists of 6 separate elements connected to each other. There is a button on the top of the head where all the elements meet. Most often, the last detail and the visor have a color difference with the rest of the elements, or the colors of these components can be combined. An obligatory element in the design of the headgear will be an adjusting clasp. A feature of this cap is the short visor.

• Fitted Hat. The literal translation sounds like "direct visor". This type of cap is considered an essential attribute of hip-hop culture.

• Trucker Hat. Based on the name, an association with American truck drivers immediately appears in the minds of many. In their structure, they are very similar to the Needle Hat, but they have obvious differences. The two fronts immediately above the visor are larger and larger (sometimes slightly puffy), and the rear ends are made of lightweight material, can be combined with mesh, or be made entirely of mesh. The shallow fit is very comfortable to wear.

• German. It is an original and popular style. Its appearance resembles uniform caps from police and military equipment in some European countries. This type of cap is very popular among hunters, fishermen and other outdoor enthusiasts.

In addition to differences in design, baseball caps may differ in the material of manufacture. Let's consider the most common options.

A baseball cap made of this material always looks expensive and stylish. At the same time, she shows a sense of good taste and characterizes her owner as a lover of the classics. Baseball caps made from this material are not suitable for wearing in the summer season. The headdress will just be very hot.

In spring and autumn, the described wardrobe item is suitable for everyday wear. The baseball cap made of leather is waterproof, does not get dirty and does not require any maintenance.

Hats made from this type of fabric are considered real classics and are very popular with American teens. Russian youth have also adopted this trend.

Today, in pursuit of the client, manufacturers supply the market with baseball caps of any color in all possible combinations. Therefore, everyone can choose the option necessary for him, be it a bright color or a calm, not eye-catching shade.

Younger guys tend to prefer bright, eye-catching colors (cherry, orange, or yellow). People are a little older, in order to stand out in the sports team, get themselves hats of acid shades with multi-colored visors. Models with contrasting colors will also be a good choice for young people.

Although bright colors are trending, versatile black will always find its buyer. This color will not only suit almost any clothing (unlike her colored counterparts), but also add brutality and chic to the image.

For very hot days, there is simply no better option than a white cap. The product in this color version goes well with a white T-shirt.

This color scheme can be a good substitute for a black baseball cap. The blue color combines well with any cold tones in clothes.

This color corresponds to the military style and should overlap with some other things in the image.

The structure of the headgear provides for a free field above the visor for placing the inscription. This is a very competent and well-thought-out advertising move. Since during a conversation with a person you look at his face, a bright inscription unconsciously attracts your gaze, and what you see remains in your memory. When they get good emotions when they talk to the owner of this headdress, they automatically go to this inscription.

When looking at the baseball cap from above, you can see the seams that form wedges. The shape and fit of the garment depends on their number.

• 3 wedges. An inexpensive and simple baseball cap with side seams and a wide front. For the production of this type of caps, an ordinary, not dense fabric is used. This model is used for promotions. The large headroom on the front allows for large and beautiful logos.
• 5 wedges. The wedges are narrower on the sides than in the 3 wedge, but the front is still large. The front wedge in this case is different in color to attract attention. This type is slightly more expensive due to its more aerodynamic shape.
• 6-wedge with front seam. This baseball cap is symmetrical and has a comfortable fit. It is more difficult to put logos on these caps, and not everyone likes and knows how to do it. But this is not reflected in the sock in any way.
• 6 gussets without front seam. This option is much more convenient for labeling. In general, when worn, it differs little from the previous type. It is worth noting that they try to put an inscription on such caps of such a size so that it does not go over the seams and fits only on the front part.

The shape of the visor determines the look of the baseball cap. The curved visor is suitable for classic models and for most ages. Young people, on the other hand, are trying to give preference to caps with straight peaks.

The color of the visor depends on the idea of ​​the designer. It can be the same color as the head part or contrast with it.

The trim of the visor increases the final cost of the product. It can be a strip of a contrasting color in relation to the visor itself. A three-dimensional pattern is applied to the upper part of the visor with a logo or embroidery. And the most expensive option would be a sandwich visor made of 2 different materials.

When choosing the right baseball cap, you should consider the following nuances.

• When purchasing a headdress, you need to proceed from the size of the head. This criterion will be the main one when choosing.
• The material should be suitable for the season. For spring or autumn, you can choose a baseball cap made of light, but dense materials. In winter, the best option would be a model with an insulated lining.
• When looking for a cap, take into account its style, colors and remember that the model needs to be matched to the shape of the face.
• An important difference between a winter baseball cap and others is the presence of "ears". Fall and spring models can be lighter. Leather caps are practical and will work well during rain or sleet.
• Colors should be combined so that they do not "argue" with each other.
• The headgear should fit snugly, but not tightly - it should be a little loose. It is undesirable to wear an accessory that will unnecessarily tighten your head.

When choosing, you also need to pay attention to the following details.

• Clasp. A very important element, on the correct choice of which the durability of the headdress depends. This can be an elastic band, plastic fastener, buckle, or Velcro. Elastic and Velcro are considered short-lived fasteners and are not recommended for selection. A plastic piece or metal buckle can last for many years.
• Visor. The properties of this element depend on the place where the cap will be used. If you plan to ride a bike or run in it, then it is advisable to purchase a model with a straight and short visor.
• Textile. When choosing, it is advisable to give preference to breathable materials.
• Eyelets. Their presence is required for summer baseball caps. If they are present, the head will be ventilated and sweat less. It is advisable to opt for models with metal rings.
• Moisture absorbing strip. Thanks to this element, the head will not overheat on very hot days, and the headdress itself will not receive white salt streaks.
