Types and secrets of choosing summer caps for men

Summer is the time of the year when high temperatures follow us everywhere. It is during the period from June to August that the sun is most active, and you should protect yourself from it in all possible ways. Among men, the range of protective equipment is relatively small. Their option is men's lightweight caps that will help protect your head from heatstroke and, together with sunglasses, will complement any summer bow.

A cap is a headdress that has been at the peak of popularity for more than one century. Summer versions of this accessory, as a rule, are made of lightweight fabrics, sometimes they are literally transparent if sewn from mesh. This option allows you to maximize the air circulation around the scalp and thereby get rid of increased sweating and all the resulting problems.

Among all men's caps, several models can be distinguished that belong to the summer category and are appropriate for wearing at this time of the year.

• "Eight-link". This model is popularly called "hooligan". Most often it is made of dense materials such as tweed or fleece, but lightweight options are also available. A similar style implies 8 wedges that are connected at the top of the head. The cap has a short rounded visor.

• "German". The simplest style of the cap, which does not imply separation into wedges at the head. Such a model consists of a visor, a base and a top, on which a button, traditional for this type of clothing, is located.

• French. This style has become popular relatively recently. This model differs from others in that it has a smooth transition from the head part to the visor, which, in turn, is almost completely hidden in appearance under the main, head part.

• Baseball cap. The most familiar model for a Russian consumer is a male summer headdress. This cap, as the name implies, was created specifically for baseball players. This sport involves hitting the ball with a bat. But since the bright sun makes it difficult to accurately hit a moving object, athletes needed protection from its rays, which would not simultaneously block the view and would not interfere with actively moving.

• Cap... A uniform type of headdress that has passed from military uniforms to the wardrobes of modern men. This model of caps, often referred to as "captain's", is very much appreciated by the older generation, who prefer to wear it for fishing or picking mushrooms.

Since the summer models of men's caps will be worn exclusively in warm and sometimes hot seasons, they should be made of lightweight and breathable materials that absorb moisture well. Natural fabrics meet these criteria to a greater extent, but some synthetic analogs can also be used for these purposes.

The most common cap option is cotton. This material is natural, it rarely causes allergies and is perfectly breathable. But cotton models still have disadvantages, and they are significant: they fade quite quickly, so if you stay in them for a long time under open sunlight, they invariably fade. Also, such a fabric is quite susceptible to all sorts of dirt, therefore, it is worth giving preference to models made of dark material.

Easy to remove stains on your cotton cap, but the problem is that the fabric, along with the stains, will give off color if you use aggressive stain removers. There is a way out in this situation. If you buy a model not made of pure cotton, but, for example, a mixture of cotton fibers and polyester, then washing will be much easier.

The interest of many fashionistas is caused by summer men's caps from flax. This material is denser than cotton and more resistant to dirt. The most significant drawback of flax is its quick crease. Of course, this does not apply to such models of caps as a baseball cap, French cap or a cap, since the fabric fits them tightly. But if we are talking about the "eight-blade", then everything is much more complicated.

In this case, there is only one way out - the use of a steam generator. Usually they iron the thing before sending it to the store counter, so the owner of the eight-piece linen cap is to prevent it from wrinkling.

In certain situations, caps made of synthetic materials are in demand. For example, if you want mesh model... Such products allow air to pass through as much as possible, preventing the scalp from sweating. This, in turn, minimizes the spread of bacteria and unpleasant odors.

We bring to your attention several options for stylish summer looks, which are based on a men's cap.

• Great outfit for a vacation. A gingham shirt with 3/4 sleeves, beige linen shorts above the knees and red and blue moccasins with white laces - this combination is appropriate both on the beach and on a walk in the resort town. The red baseball cap echoes the color of the shoe, which gives an advantageous color advantage to the entire look.

• Baseball cap with a straight peak - a headdress that rappers hold in high esteem. In this look, a khaki T-shirt with a print matching the style is very successfully complemented by a blue cap. Sneakers and branded denim shorts are more than appropriate here. A dark sweatshirt will come in handy during the summer rain.

• Urban mod's brutal bow. The red cap is complemented by matching shoes. They are the basis of the image, the most striking details in it. Fashionable ripped jeans and an elongated white T-shirt were selected in accordance with the style. A khaki camouflage shirt with rolled-up sleeves complements this look.

• Total black, which is diluted only with a red headdress. An image in which everything is as simple and tasteful as possible. Black glasses are not superfluous here, since the cap has a shortened visor. Such an image is always in fashion and will be appropriate almost everywhere where there is no strict dress code.
