Although it’s known by a few different names — newsboy cap, baker boy cap or fisherman’s cap — this retro hat has become a fashion staple. Spotted on celebs and street style stars at fashion week alike, it’s a simple way to make any outfit instantly chic.
Here are five ways to style this accessory for the playful refresh your wardrobe needs this winter — even if you’re not a hat person.
Style: Keep it Classic
For those who are easing into the trend, wear a classic black or grey-toned cap with a loosely-fitted suit for a casual look that’ll still work for the office. Throw on some vintage shades for a real retro vibe.
