Types and models
Caps, like most other masculine items from the very beginning, slowly but surely moved to the female wardrobe. They replaced the now not so relevant hats. The main detail of any cap is a visor, having a different shape and length.
Consider the most common types and models of women's caps:
- Baseball caps. They were invented around the middle of the last century to protect American baseball players from the exhausting sun. Over time, baseball caps became popular with the teams' fans, and then spread among the rest of the population. The baseball cap is characterized by a slightly elongated shape of the visor and a special cut of the oval base of six parts.
- Cap with straight visor. Similarity to a baseball cap with a square base. Such stylish caps are loved by representatives and fans of hip-hop and rap culture.
- Bike cap. Analogue baseball cap, but with a shorter visor. The teenage and youth version provides a “raised” visor.
- Cap trucker. It is also similar to a baseball cap, but with a longer and curved visor. Often a fine mesh is sewn on the back of the head.
- Vizor. Cap in the form of a visor attached to the tape. Used when playing tennis or volleyball. This “undercap” is also convenient due to the fact that the head will not sweat even with intensive training.
- Denim caps. The wear and the high quality of the material are combined with versatility. Youth options for women's denim caps are decorated with appliqués, embroidery, lace, rhinestones, sequins, chains or interesting prints.
- Trehklinka. The pattern is based on three wedges. The visor is slightly smaller than a regular cap.
- Pyatiklinka. It looks like a three-hat cap, but its back part is sewn from three parts.
- Eight-blades (cap-gavrosh). The upper part is assembled from eight wedges. Such caps are often referred to as “hooligans” for their similarity with models that were common in the middle of the last century. With proper selection of other items of clothing, it can be not only manly hooliganism, but also quite feminine.
- Flat cap. It cuts together with a visor that does not have a solid substrate, therefore its shape is narrowed and shortened.
- Jockey caps (jockeys). Rounded hats in the form of a pot, with an indispensable visor. The crown is most often planted on a rigid solid foundation. Sometimes these products are complemented by flirty fluffy pom-pom or animalistic ears.

Styles
If historically caps were associated only with military and sporting styles, today they are usually combined with many other styles.
- When playing sports, the baseball cap, bicycle or the so-called trucker cap will not become an appreciable accessory. In winter, popular bini will be appropriate on the slopes, and in the summer, practical style visors will support sports style on the courts.
- Military-style is unthinkable without a suitable headdress. The most common caps, representatives of the army style are caps, caps, Breton, French caps, as well as a German cap.
- A youthful image is unthinkable without a topical cap - young maidens wear baseball caps with inscriptions, denim caps with stripes, caps with ears and caps made of bright “cheburashka”.

For women 50 years
Age women often decorate themselves with various kinds of caps. Here the main thing to avoid openly youth, extravagant or catchy models. Military-style caps for women over fifty are not quite suitable. Sports caps are best to wear only for sports, relaxing in the country or walking in the woods.
A strict cut of the five or eight blades, a classic cap-beret or a slightly extravagant cap-bell will decorate any lady in the age. The length of the peak of the selected products is preferable to the average or minimum. Fur cap is recommended from a non-long fur neutral shade.
Fashion trends
Easy negligence is the main trend of the current season. With regard to caps, it is also applicable to a certain extent. It is known that not everyone likes to wear hats, even in cold weather or, on the contrary, in the bright summer sun.
But rarely any modern girl will pass by the “patsansky” cap or hooligan baseball cap. The frankly male models, decorated with typically female decorative elements: bright embroidery, iridescent logos, juicy prints and rhinestones, look great.
the cloth
Sports and summer caps are mainly made from light natural materials - cotton or flax. Often there are polyester baseball caps on sale - it is better to avoid such products, they breathe badly, and in the heat they will be uncomfortable, even overheating is possible.
Lightweight cotton knit caps fit perfectly on the head and protect their wearers from the scorching sun. Jeans caps do not go out of fashion for many years, they are comfortable, durable and attract a variety of models.
In the cool season, insulated caps made of woolen materials (for example, drape, tweed, or boucle), as well as furs (especially made of mink, seal, Rex rabbit, as well as astrakhan and muton) are in great demand.
Autumn "eight-blades" and flat caps are made from cashmere, jacquard, gabardine, velor or velvet. The alternative is leather (natural or artificial) or suede. Leather caps are made to warm with fur, if they are designed for winter wear. Felt caps, basically they are jockeys and bells, not only keep their shape well, but also perfectly warm the heads of their owners.
Knitted caps are quite common among girls and women of any age. Moreover, such caps can be bought ready-made or knitted, independently or to order according to the picture you like.
Caps knit from various materials: natural (wool, cashmere, angora, mohair) and synthetic (acrylic, polyamide, viscose). It turns out unique and unique models that can enrich the image with a truly bright accent.
Color and print
At the peak of popularity this season, caps of all shades, ranging from classic tones (black, white, gray, beige, brown), and ending with extravagant, bright and rich colors (juicy red, emerald green, bright blue, yellow and white metallic) . Often there are combined models that include from two to four colors.
Cap cap is a classic fashion. And it can be both monochrome and multicolored. The size of the cage also varies - from small, formed by weaving woolen threads to a large “tartan”. Of the traditional prints, I would also like to mention the ageless goose foot. A touch of boldness and charm will be added to the image of a cap with animal and vegetable prints.
It is especially possible to allocate caps with a pattern for crocodile or snake skin.
How to choose?
A cap is not only a fashion accessory, but also a headdress designed to protect its wearer from adverse weather: sunlight, rain, wind, frost or snow. Therefore, it should be selected:
- first, depending on the destination;
- secondly, in size;
- thirdly, taking into account the shape of the head and face;
- fourthly, without forgetting about the compliance of the novelty with your main style orientation of the wardrobe.
As for the destination, everything is simple - for summer we choose light breathing caps, for the off season - warmed, and the warmest ones, with fur and closed ears, are suitable for wearing in winter.
The wider is the top of the cap, the more visually the head appears. High-rise girls are advised to abandon the caps with an overestimated base, since such products can visually add a couple of centimeters, although this quality is very useful for young ladies of low stature.
The length of the visor is selected depending on the shape of the face. If the options with a short visor are suitable for everyone, then a long straight visor can be recommended for girls and women with an oval face and medium-sized facial features. In addition, the direct visor visually expands the face, so it is not suitable for those who have extended cheekbones. For the purpose of visual narrowing of the cheekbones, a curved narrow visor should be preferred.
What to wear?
Fashionable caps with inscriptions and prints should be worn with sporty clothes.
Girls can create an ensemble of baseball caps and dresses, but for this, at least one sporting detail is necessary in the image - the corresponding jacket or sneakers. The models of military caps will look great in combination with camouflage clothing, as well as with ordinary casual-style things: jeans, T-shirts and jackets.
Denim caps do not fit sportswear, but they also fit perfectly in a casual outfit. It should be remembered that denim caps are not recommended to be combined with other things from similar material - jeans or a jacket.
Winter cap can be worn with a voluminous coat, short fur coat or a stylish down jacket. It is not necessary to choose for a combination with a cap overly feminine fitted coats or fur coats. Fur caps should not be worn with fur coats.
Jockeys combine well with stylish parks or sporty-chic cloaks. Shoes desirable to choose a low heel or platform.
