How to choose your cap style?

The numerous cap shapes we've presented above all represent different clothing styles. It's up to you to choose the model that suits your face and will also display your personality in the best way. You can opt for a cap that will perfectly match your daily outfits or for a special occasion. However, you can also choose a cap with a distinctive and original style to offset your look with elegance. A Brooklyn or duck bill cap can thus elevate a casual outfit with a timeless and chic accessory. Similarly, a baseball cap can bring an informal touch to more classic clothing.

How to choose the color of your cap?

The color of your cap primarily depends on how you intend to use it in your daily life. If you want a subtle accessory that can match most of your everyday outfits, it's advisable to choose a model in a neutral color such as black or gray, for example. This way, you're assured of a perfect combination for each of your outings! However, if you're looking for a more original accessory, bright colors or more pronounced patterns will be perfect for reinventing your style in just a few moments. Your cap then becomes an indispensable trendy ally that allows you to enhance a classic outfit simply and quickly.

Finally, it's important to choose a cap color that suits your complexion. Throughout the seasons, and especially as your tan changes, you can enjoy more or less vibrant colors to renew your wardrobe with suitable accessories.
