This publication is also available in: Français Deutsch Italiano Español

Always at the heart of the trend, the women’s cap in summer is the fashion accessory that brings some energy to our style. It adds good vibes to our summer looks while protecting our eyes from the sun.

Who among you doesn’t have their summer cap yet? In this article, we will explore together the essential must-haves as well as the looks that go with them. You know, it’s always better to prepare our outfits well in advance for the upcoming season rather than procrastinating.

Since there are different styles of caps, we’re going to give you a little boost so you can dress like a fashionista this summer with a cap. Take notes so you don’t forget anything!

The essential types and shapes of women’s caps for a summer at the beach

Beach outings are one of the to-do lists to complete once summer signals its arrival. A catamaran ride, sunbathing on the beach, sipping cocktails with friends under a pergola… All of this sounds so dreamy when you think about it, and even more so when you have the stylish cap, the right clothes, and the necessary accessories.

 What are the ideal cap materials for summer? 

The material of the cap is the first thing to check if you want to relax during your holidays. You certainly wouldn’t choose a wool beanie or beret to go to the beach! No, that’s a fashion faux pas. You might as well not wear one at all.

Choose materials that will give you a bit of freshness under your cap. But what are they?

  • Straw:

We can’t talk about summer if straw isn’t involved. Any item made from this material is a fail-safe choice. It’s even more fashionable as a cap! Imagine yourself in a little shirt with shorts, or under your pretty swimsuit with a straw cap… It’s the perfect combo for your beach look.

  • Raffia:

After straw, raffia comes in second place. It is lightweight and allows your hair to breathe. If you have the right model, that would be the best! Wear this hat with a raffia bag for more style and choose two pieces of cover-ups when going to the beach.

Know that these two materials are the most suitable for beach outings. But there are also other materials and models of caps that can beautifully enhance your outfit.

Linen and cotton are also two alternative materials if you don’t particularly prefer straw and raffia. Just be sure to choose a style and shape that suit your activity, especially under the blazing sun that may not spare you.

How to choose the cap that suits your face?

This step may seem the hardest, but it’s actually super easy once understood. We will never stop telling you that if a cap fits a certain face shape, it may not suit yours.

You need to be very careful because the cap you choose must be based on your face. Choosing the style of cap is crucial, as it all depends on the cap you select.

What will you do if, once worn, it doesn’t suit you? To avoid this, we will help you by presenting some caps while highlighting the face shape that suits them.

The sailor cap: 

Be the captain of your look with the sailor cap. It’s a pretty cap that we find on sailors, and which has been adopted later by us women. You can create various looks with this cap. You can, of course, choose a more attractive pattern with vivid colors for your headwear.

Whether in summer, winter, or autumn, this cap will accompany you in style! Those with a round and wide face are most favored by this cap. Enjoy yourself!

The trucker cap: 

Yes, the trucker cap can certainly accompany you to the beach. Its versatility is its greatest asset if you are a fan of this style of cap. The trucker cap enhances round or triangular faces. It keeps you cool thanks to its mesh back, allowing you to spend a day without complaining about the heat.

You can shop them from various brands, for instance, Rip Curl. At the same time, other brands offer them in all materials, patterns, and colors.

The gavroche cap: 

Now here, we are not talking about the beach but just about summer. The gavroche cap with its retro-chic look cannot be worn at the beach. It can greatly assist you during city outings under the sun or while sitting around a table close to the beach; but not really by the sea on a deckchair. The gavroche cap, classified as a flat cap, looks beautifully good on those with a square face.

The women’s cap for a surfer look!

Do you love spending hours on a board in the sea? Of course, we fashion lovers want to look exquisite even in the water. Here, we will present you with some looks for you surfers, or not. Don’t hesitate to choose brightly colored caps that evoke summer and the beach!

First look: the swimsuit under the shirt 

We always knew these surfers as girls who fear nothing with their visor cap. Both for the activity and for the style. Some of them even hang out in the city with their semi-sexy or very sexy outfit. Wondering how to put together this kind of style? Take a 5-panel strapback cap in velvet, then recreate the model below.

A light blue short-sleeved shirt, a colorful swimsuit, and of course, never forget the essential accessories: the cap, the waterproof watch, Brazilian bracelets, and shell bead necklaces. You’ll make a splash at the beach with this outfit. We strongly approve.

Second look: the fitted top… We never get tired of it!

The classic look of surfers, but one that has been adopted by many: a snapback, strapback, or trucker cap, your choice; a white halter top, colorful shorts, and a pair of golden Birkenstocks. The cap color should be bright so that you are fully in the summer vibe. It would be great if you have long, wavy hair.

You can also wear this outfit in the city; if you prefer sneakers, swap out the Birkenstocks for a pair of sneakers.

Apart from the strapback, you also have the fitted cap that can enhance your summer look! It lacks an adjustment system but comes in various models and patterns that will keep you on theme.

You can also opt for a headband to switch things up from the cap. Headbands are making a big comeback, and it wouldn’t be bad to adopt one for a surfer look.

Planning a mountain walk? Don’t leave without your women’s baseball cap!

The baseball cap is a cap with a visor and 6 panels. It’s a versatile cap that fits all face shapes. You are free to wear it without facing negative criticism.

Just make sure you have the right size and you can have a great day away from your daily grind. The cap is especially very comfortable on your head.

What about the cap color for this type of activity? 

Honestly, go wild based on your moods and preferences! There are not too many rules for this kind of activity. But since it’s a little connection with nature, pure colors are welcome.

Should you always be stylish even in the mountains? 

Yes, there’s nothing wrong with being stylish in the mountains. It just proves that we care about ourselves and take good care of ourselves. Even in the worst situations, let’s never forget our fashionista soul.

For the look, there are all kinds of comfortable outfits designed for this type of activity. Leggings, tank tops, or joggers. If it looks like it’s going to be too hot, opt for a tight short or knee-length legging.

Don’t forget your hiking shoes: a pair of Nike Zoom or a pair of Skechers. You’ll be very comfortable in your entire outfit. Also, don’t forget your sunglasses.
