Polo Ralph Lauren Baseball Cap
The archetypal dad cap from prep purveyor Ralph Lauren. Just please don't wear it with a sweater tied around your shoulders.
Arket Cap
Taking cues from the classic dad hat and camper cap silhouettes, Arket brings a hybrid. This five-panel cap features a low crown and a short, flat brim. Its recycled shell composition makes this super lightweight for the summer.
New Balance Classic Cap
New Balance says Corduroy is eligible for summer, and we’re listening. Keeping a classic six-panel shape, it pops the brand's logo at the front for minimal contrast.
adidas Stella McCartney Baseball Cap
Stella McCartney is spinning off your go-to black baseball cap. It replaces the classic loop closure for a sizeable bungee cord fastening for a perfect fit and a clean, utilitarian finish.
adidas Adventure Dad Cap
For an outfit-match moment with your pops, this adidas cap will do. This dad cap has a lower crown for a flatter shape and adds an adventure patch at the front for when you are going to the wild.
New Era Reversible Tech Cap
Breaking away from its popular NY Yankees baseball cap, New Era opts for a camper cap silhouette. The reversible hat features the paisley pattern in two colorways — grey and blue — to keep it neutral or to go bold.
Dickies Hardwick Cap
Dickies is the king of workwear, so caps are staples of the brand. Go for this light purple colorway to switch up any neutral summer ‘fit.
Brain Dead Afterlife Cap
Earth tones are super easy to style, and Brain Dead knows it. The brand adds a PVC logo patch in a red and blue colorway to epitomize the label’s experimentation with subversive graphics.
