Going on holiday next month and want my face out of the sun. Which would you go for? Don’t want anything too try hard or tacky

Get a plain cap. You don't need to be branded.

Ablondiebutagoody · 18/05/2026 14:55

Agree with pp. The branding, whatever it is, is tacky. I like a cheap, straw, trilby bought at the destination. It would get trashed in my luggage.

purplecorkheart · 18/05/2026 14:56

Both are tacky. Go unbranded or else pick up a straw hat at your destination.

Is branded always tacky??

Depends where you're going! If you're heading to New York, you might get teased by Mets fans if you're wearing a Yankees cap and you venture into Queens ;-)

It is if it’s a NYY cap (as a diehard Boston Red Sox supporter). Go for something more original if you want a design on it.

tarheelbaby · 18/05/2026 15:07

I'd choose a brand/logo that means something to you to raise awareness or go for a plain cap/hat. Possibly buy one there so that you have a souvenir?
Many people feel that obvious logos and brands are tacky.

Vote for a NYY cap

Arlanymor · 18/05/2026 15:10

If you support the Yankees then wear the cap - it's not try hard if you're a true fan - i.e. you've been to the stadium and you watch the games. I wear a Welsh rugby cap. I wouldn't buy a fashion one - would prefer plain - but if your RL one goes better as a colour match with the clothes you are packing then that's the obvious choice.

I’ve discovered recently that the larger sized kids baseball caps fit me very nicely (M&S and next specifically) and there are generally many more colour options than the adults. Cheaper too.

I don’t love a branded cap personally.

EconomyClassRockstar · 18/05/2026 15:17

Just take both. They're caps!

Bluejaysforthewin · 18/05/2026 15:22

Neither, go for the Jays. Much better team & logo!. Plus the added advantage people might think you're a Canadian.

Leafyleaferson · 18/05/2026 15:40

Another vote for bluejays!

RitaIncognita · 18/05/2026 15:43

A baseball cap that has an actual baseball team logo is never tacky. Especially if it's the Yankees. 😀

Not Louis Vitton?

Who is he? Vuitton?

Yankees, especially if you're going to NYC.

I haven’t been to any games…ever, it’s just for fashion really, i’m no fan 🤣

I'm not stressed. Just thought you might have an issue with spelling. And there's nothing wrong with that either - also not sure why it's a joke. Because lots of people struggle with spelling. But you struggle with choosing with what hat to wear.

I have no feedback for you then. I support the teams that I wear merchandise for. I guess we can't all have integrity. Clearly.

Caring what others think about what you choose to wear is always tacky
