Master Your Style with a Hat: Trendy Fits from Toe to Head

Jul 13, 2024

Hats are everywhere. You wear them to sports games, in the outfield and the dugout, on the golf course and on the tennis court. You definitely wear them at the beach, on a boat or out on an adventure. And you may even have them on at a club or a concert. 

There's no real magic trick when it comes to hat styling, but here are a few outfits to give you some inspiration when you’re trying to figure out how to wear a hat before heading out for the day.

Classic Club Hat

Classic Club Hat

Heading to play tennis or a round of nine? Sometimes you need nothing more than a classic hat. The Nike Club Unstructured Futura Wash is it. It’s soft and comfortable, pared-down in style and easy to wear all day. Wear the cap with Nike One Dri-FIT shorts, an organic cotton tee with dropped shoulders and a pair of Sambas. Or go preppy with a matching grey polo, black Club Flow shorts and your favorite pair of HOKAs.

Snapback Swagger

Embrace the era of light colors and crisp kicks. Start with a New Era Chicago Bulls Retro 4 9FIFTY snapback in an Industrial Blue and white colorway. Add a white tee, light-wash Smoke Rise denim shorts and a pair of blue and white Jordans, like the Jordan 1 Zoom CMFT 2.

Hat Full of Attitude

You’re straightforward, and you’ve got the hat to prove it. Try any bold Field Grade hat to tell it like it is. Wear the Field Grade trucker hat with some comfy light pink joggers or adidas track pants, a black cropped tank and pink and blue adidas Gazelles. No haters allowed.

Team Spirit

There are no fair-weather fans over here. Rep your city or your team with a trucker hat and the fit to go with it. The New Era Atlanta Braves trucker hat gives you all the versatility that comes with black and white. Finesse this not-so-basic look with a pair of Jordan 1 Low OG “Shadow” shoes, a black, embossed denim jacket, Jordan Artist Series shorts and the colorful graphic tee to match. A Braves jersey is also totally acceptable. ed.

Bucket Hats Throwback

Bucket hats don’t have to be bland. They were super popular in the ’90s as a fun and funky alternative to a regular baseball hat, and they came in bold colors and psychedelic patterns. Give your fits a retro twist by embracing a bright blue Nike bucket hat paired with Smoke Rise cargo shorts and a white knit cropped tee. Complete the look with a pair of chunky Nike Icon Classic platform sandals.

When you’re trying to figure out how to style hats, there are no rules.
