How to Actually Wear a Baseball Hat and Still Look Cute

Whether you like wearing a baseball hat, or you need to go one more day without washing your hair. We totally get it! and we’ve got you covered with some cute ideas for baseball hat outfits.

For most of my life, I was scared to wear a baseball hat. I didn’t think my bone structure, hair length, and face shape could pull it off. Now that I am in my 30s, you can usually find me rocking baseball hats on the weekends or after work. Bad hair days are now a thing of the past and I am convinced a simple black baseball cap is the perfect casual outfit look.

This fashion trend has also recently been spotted at fashion week, on some of our favorite follow-worthy celebs (hello Hailey Bieber), and far beyond the reach of a simple baseball game. Today we’re sharing our current favorite baseball cap outfits to inspire your day from the stadium to the streets and beyond.

– Baseball Hat Outfits

If I’m being honest, I didn’t know there were different types of baseball hats. So before we dive into all the baseball hat outfits, let’s break down the current styles of hats further.

The four main categories include:

The Vintage Dad Hat

Let’s kick this off with the most popular, and frankly my favorite style of baseball hat! Remember the boyfriend’s jeans trend a few years back? Well, we’re back at it with the dad hat. This trend is here to stay because of how universally flattering this style is.

You could be a 20-year-old Instagram influencer or an actual 35-year-old parent; the dad hat trend is taking over. This style can be easily paired with basic sweats or rocked with a more fashion-forward look like a dress.

For those not familiar, dad hats have a classic snapback, 6-panel baseball cap with unstructured front panels and simple logos.

The Trucker Hat

A trucker hat has many names including a mesh cap, a netback cap, and the ever popular, trucker hat. This hat became famous by farming supply companies, agricultural workers, and truck drivers who would wear these hats while working cross country.

This style is distinctly recognizable by the plastic mesh backs and broad fronts, usually with world-famous quotes and logos appearing.

Remember the one rocked by Miley Cyrus with the quote “Go ahead punk, make my day”, yeah, those are what we are talking about here. The trick to making this style worthy of a 2023 #hothat hashtag is how it’s styled.

This style hat should always be worn facing forward for a smart and casual look but the key is making sure to pair it with an equally fabulous outfit. Did we mention this style is universally known as gender-neutral and is a one-size-fits-all?

Other Types of Hats we Love

Straw Hat

A staple in every girl’s wardrobe, the straw hat screams class. This stylish hat and simple accessory will give any outfit an effortless look. Pair it with a t-shirt dress, skinny jeans, a denim jacket, or even a cute pair of chunky sneakers. The straw hat has no boundaries and will be a summer wardrobe staple. Our favorite way to style it right now in the colder months is with neutral colors, black leggings, and white sneakers. Who says you need to wait until July or be at a winery to rock this classic style? Kim Kardashian was recently seen rocking an oversized black straw hat with jeans and boots and we couldn’t love it more.

Bucket Hat

Looking for a fun everyday outfit accessory? The bucket hat is back! This fashion accessory will look amazing paired with loungewear or layered tops. We suggest wearing a tank top under a button-down or chunky top and then adding your bucket hat in a contrasting color to draw the eyes upward. Throw on a pair of blue jeans and you are ready for a day strolling around town with the family or the girls.

If you’ve recently bought a hat you love, we want to see it. Sharing is caring, remember!
