What's the difference between a newsboy cap and a flat cap?

While the newsboy cap can sometimes be confused with the flat cap, it's primarily due to the similarities in their shapes. Indeed, these two cap models feature a low rounded profile, as well as a brim or small visor at the front. Moreover, their construction generally uses tweed, an iconic and durable fabric that doesn't always make it easy to distinguish between them. The major difference to note when wearing a newsboy cap lies in its more puffy shape rather than flat. A trendy volume that should, however, be adapted to the morphology of your face for an ideal style. Wearing a newsboy cap is therefore not suitable for all face shapes. Trying them on in a hat shop or using online guides will help you define your morphology more precisely in order to guide you towards the caps that will flatter you the most.

Wearing a newsboy cap: an accessory in its own right

The newsboy cap reinvents itself with the changing fashions, featuring chain details, sailor buttons, or even printed patterns. To wear your headwear with elegance and style, it is advised not to overload your outfits with too many accessories or large jewelry pieces. This way, you can highlight your face with discreet earrings that will enhance both your face and your newsboy cap. For the same reasons, it's preferable to avoid wide, chunky knit scarves. You can replace it with a silk scarf tied for a rock or vintage look, for example. In any case, the newsboy cap remains a relatively prominent fashion accessory that should be worn with an appropriate outfit. You'll then display a polished and sophisticated style in all circumstances.
