A Buyer’s Guide to This Season’s Best Baseball Caps

It’s hard to imagine a world without baseball caps. That’s probably because the accessory has become so ingrained in our daily life that it’s often the first accessory that we jump to on a daily basis. Originating on the baseball field, obviously, the baseball cap has shifted from a functional sports accessory to an everyday essential thanks to its accessibility. Much like a graphic T-shirt, a baseball cap is an easy way to rep your brand, team, or city overtly, making it an almost tribal accessory.

But, while baseball caps are still used to represent, they’re not all emblazoned with team insignia or symbolism. If you’re not looking to mark yourself out as a born-and-bred Yankees fan, there’s a wealth of less partisan pieces. Whether you’re looking for designer baseball caps or something basic to cover weary eyes, selections from Nike, Off-White™, and more will satisfy the desires.

Off-White™ kicks off this round up with an overdyed grey number that’s got the feel of being a genuine vintage baseball cap. A minimal embroidered logo punctuates the front and provides a focal point.

Palm Angels’ coveted gothic text logo graces the front panels of this designer baseball cap. Although the cap is purple, a faded effect ensures that it’s neither too bright nor unnoticeable.

Cut from ripstop nylon, this Y-3 baseball cap is extremely durable and lightweight. Perfect for exercising as well as casual styling, Yohji Yamamoto’s Y-3 branch asserts its legendary name once again.

Looking for something to make less of a statement? This affordable baseball cap from Nike is a no-frills summer winner with just an embroidered logo to the front in the way of detailing.

New York’s favorite tailor Thom Browne knows how to give a classic twist to any item. This six-panel baseball cap features an embroidered baseball motif to the front that pops from the navy-blue backdrop.

C2H4 offers up the ACTG Cap which feels like a custom baseball cap thanks to its pared-back aesthetic. Red and black will never not work as a color combination and this cap just proves that. Flip the cap around to find a rubberized ‘mental toxicity level’ meter.

Nike teams up with Undercover to bring this sleek black baseball cap. The six-panel construction keeps a low profile while the exaggerated white-on-black logos proudly announce another Undercover x Nike collaboration.

Emily Oberg’s Sporty & Rich label invites you to join the health and wellness club that everyone’s talking about with this ‘Health is Wealth’ cap. A classic blue-white-red color palette proves the power of primary colors.

RHUDE winds the clock back with this boxy baseball cap that features a string running across the brim. Think Fresh Prince of Bel-Air but with a contemporary luxury streetwear twist — what’s not to like?

New York boutique Kith teamed up with Looney Tunes to create a capsule collection in celebration of Bugs Bunny’s 80th birthday this month. As expected, the whole collection sold out within minutes, but you can still get your hands on some of the pieces like this vintage baseball cap through StockX.
