13 Different Types Of Caps To Elevate Your OOTD & Protect Yourself From The Sun

Trying to hide a greasy hair situation? Get a baseball cap that goes effortlessly with denims and tees when you're out and about. You may have seen professional sportspeople don these caps often, both on and off the courts. We like the sporty-chic look these caps give. And we found this cute denim baseball cap by American Eagle that's perfect to wear with your jeans. Throw on a pair of white sneakers, and you're good to go.  

You may have spotted several Hip Hop artists sport SnapBacks in music videos and shows. With an adjustable strap, a SnapBack is more dynamic than a Baseball cap in terms of sizing. Get one for your next Hip Hop concert or a cool street-style look. We found this cool SnapBack cap with eye-catching colours and emojis, perfect for the summer. 

Slightly more casual than a baseball cap, we like that a Five Panel Cap is more structured, and can be worn on multiple occasions. It's perfect for when you're out running errands. We spotted this chic unisex Five Panel cap from Puma. It's made with ultra-lightweight materials and moisture-wicking mesh. We also like that it's black, so it goes with most outfits. 

This type of cap got its name because it was popularly worn by, well, truckers in the US back in the 90s. This could be the perfect pick for hot days if you'd like to shield your face from the sun but still have a lot of ventilation, since the back is completely made of mesh. We found this grungy camo print Puma Trucker Cap with an adjustable snapback closure. It's also made with at least 20% recycled material. 

Typically spotted on athletes to keep the sun off their faces, visors are great for when you're playing a sport. With adjustable straps, they stay put while you're having an active day out. We found this chic White Running visor by Puma with adjustable straps and minimal detailing, great for keeping cool while you're out and about. 

Just add a Fedora to your outfit and get ready for your next holiday. A Fedora makes your outfit look casual and stylish at the same time; which is quite the filmy addition to your wardrobe! We spotted this Solid Black Fedora Hat with a wide grosgrain ribbon hat tan band. It's perfect for that stylish yet casual day look.

Everything about a beret screams personality! Looking to dress down for an occasion? Just put on a Beret and instantly watch your fashion quotient go up. This Casual Wear Beret Cap by Vero Moda comes in White and Red variants; perfect for the day and evenings as well. 

Heading to a beach holiday or a pool party? Get a straw hat to protect yourself from the strong sun rays. What's more is that a Straw Hat instantly gives your OOTD a beachy, vacay look instantly. This L SPACE Samira Hat by designer Monica Wise is made in Visor style, completely made of woven straw, and an adjustable band.

Shopping for the winter? Pick a cute and fluffy beanie that covers up your ears and a bad hair day in style. Mostly made of wool, they're great to keep warm in the colder months. We found this cute little Blush Pink Beanie by Forever New with faux fur Pom Pom. The soft knit blend is great for keeping warm on slightly cooler days. 

Buckets hats have made a huge comeback from the early 2000's, much like most of the fashion trends from back in the day. This one's a super trendy cap that screams Gen Z core. This bright orange neon one from Urban Monkey is great for Hip Hop nights and parties. 

Boater Caps have a hard exterior often made from straw. They're more structured than a regular Straw Hat, giving you a more put-together look, and go well with semi-formal wear as well. The Myaraa Black Regular Bow Boater Hat comes with wide brim and high quality ribbon trim. Made of natural straw grass, it's ideal for parties, vacations and more.

You may have spotted the Newsboy Cap on the much raved about show, 'Peaky Blinders'. Similar to a Flat cap, this one is fuller on the sides and was made popular in Europe during the 19th Century. We found this awesome retro-style Newsboy Cap with dark grey and black detailing. It's perfect for elevating your casual day look if you're going for a vintage vibe. 

While Cowboy hats were typically worn for a day of laborious work, they've become a style statement now. Go ahead and get one if you'd like your outfit to talk about your personality. We picked this Fedora hat style Cowboy Hat in beige. The wide grosgrain ribbon hat band makes it look chic on most semi formal fits. Pick trousers of the same colour with tan slip-ons and you're good to head on a sunny day.
