I think you need to be wearing a bonnet if you want to be cool these days.

Maybe try Anine Bing or Adanola for baseball caps?

Have a look at Jöttnar caps

My favourite caps are from Ralph Lauren (polo),Varley, Sporty & Rich and Loro Piana.

All are great quality and still look put together when on a dressed down day.

Love this. Great shape, too - looks fab with ponytail and shades. https://droledemonsieur.com/products/slogan-cap-2

Just get a plain.black one. I think they're useful to keep rain off and sun out of your eyes. I have one years old and its so useful. Dh is a baseball fan and wears a mets hat. Don't wear a baseball team hat unless you're a fan haha

deus ex machina are quite cool

I have a khaki icebreaker one for hikes in the sun, but my son did say I looked ‘daft’ in it…

Passenger have a range of colourful and plain ones. I've recently ordered a plain one for around £13 from the outlet part of their website. My first ever baseball cap! Not sure I'll be stylish but it's for sun protection on beach etc on holiday.

Example of colourful one:

Go for a Military Cap instead
They’re far more flattering on women

Wow so much baseball cap hate - I’m a similar age to you so understand exactly what you mean!

Try IDEA - they have cool slogan caps. My favourite is the I DON’T WORK HERE one.

The Tracey Emin one someone else suggested is good if you’re arty.

I like this United by Thread croissant one, but i think slogan ones are cooler to pull off, they’re less twee.

The NY baseball caps are popular and a classic, I think they’re on the same level as Adidas Sambas now.

keep the colour neutral like black/navy/cream (no idea why why everyone assumes it’s a MAGA hat FFS) so it feels more nonchalant and doesn’t overpower your outfit.

Doesn't matter what hat but you have to leave the silver sticker on the hat....that makes it cool. Don't ask me why as I am 50+ and according to my kids not cool. But that's a thing....

My husband has a dark green cashmere one. It’s wonderful. I have a Hermes one. I’m confident it’s cool.

Hush have a 'moderately social' one:

Another vote for Passenger. They have lots in the outlet section

I have half a mind to order one of these but choose ‘your text here’ as my text

It's what you wear it with, I think. I have the same dilemma too, similar age.

Gooseling · Today 01:30

Hey, early 30’s cap wearer here! I wear this one when I’m out for walks and wearing my gym stuff. (Leggings, trainers).

But absolutely DO take the sticker off. Only teenagers leave the sticker on.

If you have to put "cool" in inverted commas, you know the answer ... they're an abomination. It doesn't matter if they're by Tracy Emin, Passenger or Hermès. Don't do it!

Rhubarbsoap · Today 02:56

Depends on your style. So I’d go for a brand that matches your style. For me that would be Columbia, Patagonia, Montane, Mountain Equipment. Etc.

Magpie50 · Today 06:03

I love a baseball cap, keeps the sun off and my hair out the way. I probably have about 12 now.
All from Primark coz I like the distressed style ones they do. I have lots so I can better match them tò outfits. They look cooler IMO if you do manage to pick out the colour with shoes, bag or top.

Although I'm over 50 so am probably not supposed to wear them! What can I say, I just love a hat!😄

CanineJesus · Today 06:27

Have a look at Hush - I’ve bought caps from there before.
or Ganni if you can spend a bit more

principalskinna · Today 06:33

I have a Zara one I wear a lot. Says something nonsensical
