How To Wear A Baseball Cap This Fall - The Zoe Report

New York Yankees fans wear the team's signature navy cap to sit in the stands and cheer them on. But the signature navy cap has also become a stylish accessory during the off season — a way to support your team of choice without saying a word. Even if you don't follow sports, the hat is a wardrobe hero when you're limited on time to wash your hair in the morning or aiming to steer clear of the sun. But, how to wear a baseball cap isn't just about throwing on any old style as a beauty fix-it. It's a simple add-on that can instantly make an outfit cool.

If you want to talk noteworthy baseball cap moments, go as far back as Princess Diana in 1988 at Guards Polo Club in Windsor (shown below). The fashion icon paired her cap with a sharp blazer, graphic crewneck, denim, and brown mid-calf boots. Fast forward decades later and a simple black cap is also used by Meghan Markle, who wore it with a wool peacoat, black leggings, and Adidas sneakers. In addition to the royals, street style stars like Sophia Roe and Géraldine Boublil have provided inspiration on how to wear it heading into a fashion show — by no means a casual occasion. And still, a baseball cap aligns with the comfortable staples continuing to reign supreme throughout quarantine. Throw it on at home with your sweatsuit or if you're running out to grab groceries, pair it with a trench coat and leggings. Choose a colorful style to contrast your outfit, or opt for a designer iteration for a luxurious take.
