Duck tongue cap
I put it first because there are still people who confuse “cap” and “baseball cap”. You can often see some relatively well-to-do and stylish men wearing such hats. Although the cap is a modern fashion accessory for men, it was originally a typical symbol of the status of chimney sweeps and farmers.
These stylish hats are also made of different materials, including high-end wool, ordinary denim, and other cotton materials. Check out the following pictures to see if they can give you some inspiration for your outfit.
Military cap
Military caps and baseball caps have certain similarities, but as a distinction, the most obvious feature is that their caps are cylindrical in shape with a flat top. Although the brim itself is usually curved, it is also relatively short.
This hat is suitable for men who are around 40 to 50 years old and have a strong masculine aura. However, if you know how to dress, young people in their 20s can also try it.
Fisherman’s hat
Also known as bucket hat, its best function is to protect against sunshine and wind.
Fisherman hats have now become a fixture on the runway. For years, they have been a favorite of street style and are suitable for men of any age, making them very easy to match.
Some time ago, Brad Pitt’s style in the movie “Bullet Train” perfectly interpreted this trendy hat. However, it has to be said that Pitt’s fashion attainments in hats are really good.
Newsboy hat
Newsboy Hat, originally popular during the 19th century, is making a comeback today in fashion circles and films featuring old Shanghai. Even women enjoy wearing them as fashionable accessories; therefore they make ideal additions for old Shanghai movie lovers! Don’t hesitate if you belong to that age bracket; such hats would fit you well.
The Shelby family in the British TV series Peaky Blinders, which is popular all over the world, also likes this style.
knit Hat
The function, target audience, and application scenario of knitted hats are among the most widely used hats. Having a knitted hat will make your winter very comfortable.
Although the function of knitted hats is to keep warm, their fashionability has also been played out by young people. Various colors and materials add vibrant colors to the gloomy winter weather atmosphere, which also makes winter seem less cold (both physically and mentally).
Many young people in Europe and America particularly like to wear this kind of hat in summer. Young people are very competitive for fashion!
Baotou cap
It is considered as the cousin of the knitted hat, but the back top that collapses backward is a typical symbol that distinguishes it from the knitted hat. In my opinion, this kind of hat is a little outdated now. Women should not be unfamiliar with this kind of hat, as male protagonists in Korean dramas often wear such hats to look cool and handsome.
But don’t worry about men who like such hats. Fashion belongs to themselves, and they can wear them anytime they like. Moreover, fashion trends are constantly changing and updating, and it’s possible that they will become popular again someday.
I mean, why are the protagonists in Korean dramas so miserable? They are either in a car accident or get sick, but someone always has to die.
Truck cap
Truck caps first appeared in the 1970s and are one of the most popular hat choices today. It is very similar to baseball caps, but the difference is that the depth of the cap is deeper than that of baseball caps, and the brim is wider, making the entire hat relatively wider.
Men who like baseball caps but whose face or head shape doesn’t match them well can try this style. I personally prefer this type of hat.
Baseball cap
This should be the most common and widely worn hat. Generally, people usually choose this kind of hat, which is beautiful and classic. Wearing a hat like this will not usually go wrong.
Hip Hop Hat
Actually, it’s also a kind of baseball cap, but it’s from the 90s. The NY logo you often see is the famous New York Yankees baseball team.
Today, this hat is worn by hat connoisseurs, star athletes, fashionistas, and queers around the world, becoming a symbol of rebellion and fashion. This hat usually comes in two styles: with and without a buckle on the back.
Buni hat
The buni cap is a lightweight wide-brimmed men’s hat, usually worn by troops in tropical climates.
They are designed like fisherman’s hats, but the brim is stiffer. It also has a practical cloth belt around the crown, which was used by the army to secure camouflage materials.
Buni hats typically feature small ventilation holes or mesh panels in their crown for airflow, and come equipped with an adjustable cord that can be tied under your chin or around your neck to keep them stable – perfect for outdoor activities like hiking, fishing and camping! These durable hats also make excellent gifts!
Panama hat
The Panama hat, also referred to as an Ecuadorian hat, is a traditional brimmed straw hat from Ecuador that typically features plant leaves on its crown.
Panama hats are light-colored, lightweight, and breathable, often used as heavyweight accessories in the summer. Starting around the beginning of the 20th century, these hats became popular accessories in the tropics and seaside due to their ease of wear and breathability.
Derby hat
The Derby hat is essentially a top hat and is more commonly seen as a classic British style. You can see this type of hat in the movie “A Clockwork Orange” by “The God of Film” Stanley Kubrick. You can also see this type of hat in some old black and white drama movies.
There are relatively few people in China who wear this kind of hat, but I have listed them for you, and maybe someone will be interested.
Cowboy hat
Cowboy hats have long been part of Mexican and United States culture. This type of hat features a wide brim and high crown for optimal use outdoors activities in dry or hot environments. While most commonly seen paired with jeans and western boots, it can easily match other casual outfits too!
Like the Derby hat, it is also less commonly worn in China, but as part of multiculturalism, children can try dressing up in it when dressing up, which is also a great experience to enrich multiculturalism and open their eyes to the world.
Soft woolen hat
It is also a type of top hat, commonly referred to as a bowler hat in China. This hat is often associated with gangster and trendy culture, and is also a classic vintage hat.
Today, the style and popularity of this hat are so high that many ordinary people find it difficult to master. If you are a social elite, fashion trendsetter, then this hat will be a very good top accessory.
There are actually many types of hats, and here we list 14 representative types of male hats in our mind. Let’s see which ones are suitable for you.
