How to Wear and Style Your ’47 Hat: The Ultimate Style Guide

Baseball caps are more than just a way to show your fan allegiance - they’re a versatile accessory that can complete your outfit. Whether you’re heading to a game, running errands, or simply adding to your look, a ’47 cap can elevate your style. If you want to learn how to style a hat, or how to wear a women’s hat, here’s how to wear yours like a pro, no matter the occasion.

Choosing the Right ’47 Hat for Your Style

The first step to pulling off a baseball cap is picking the right one. Classic fitteds like our ’47 FRANCHISE, trendy snapbacks like our ’47 HITCH, or dad hats like our ’47 CLEAN UP all offer distinct vibes. A well-fitted cap frames your face and adds balance to your outfit. Consult our Headwear Style Guide to learn more about our range of hats. Choose the cap that fits your personality and matches your style.

Casual Ways to Style Your ’47 Hat

Your cap should complement your look, not compete with it. Pair a ’47 cap with your favorite T-shirt and jeans for an effortlessly laid-back vibe. Wear your favorite team’s cap with a jersey or graphic tee for an authentic fan look. Choose classic logos or tonal designs for a more stylish touch.

And don’t shy away from color. Match your hat color to your outfit for a sleek, cohesive appearance. Neutral colors like black, navy, or gray keep things minimal and versatile, while bold colors and logos make a statement.

Elevated Style with Your ’47 Hat

Personal style is all about confidence. If you want to wear a ’47 cap with a blazer or mix it into a dressier outfit, go for it! The key is balancing the cap's casual vibe with the overall tone of your outfit. But while we’re huge fans of the baseball cap, some occasions call for a more formal look. Avoid wearing hats to fancy dinners, weddings, or job interviews.

Consider the Weather

When you're out in the sun, a '47 hat isn’t just stylish, it’s practical. Choose the mesh back of a ’47 TRUCKER for added ventilation on warm days. For beach days or golf outings, consider one of our brrr° hats to keep cool and dry. These hats will protect you from the sun while keeping you looking sharp. On cooler days, throw on ’47 CUFF KNIT and a hoodie to keep warm while staying stylish.

Caring for Your ’47 Hat

You’ll want to keep your hat looking fresh, so spot-clean it whenever it gets dirty. Use a small amount of mild, color-safe laundry detergent with a damp cloth or soft brush and clean the stained areas, then rinse and let dry. Store your hats in a cool, dry place to avoid sun exposure, dust, or mildew. Storing it in a box is a good idea, and stack your hats or use a form to help maintain your hat’s shape.
