What is a women’s snapback cap and how to wear it?

This publication is also available in: Français Deutsch Italiano Español English (US)

The snapback cap is a unique women’s cap. Unlike others, this headgear lacks an adjustment system. It is worn directly on the head, which means you absolutely must not get your head size wrong. It is recognizable by its rigid crown and flat or semi-curved visor.

Having been on the market for years, this type of cap has won over everyone, both women and men. Today, it comes in various colors, patterns, or logos: thus, you have a wide selection to idealize your look and bring out your personality. 

It is obviously worn on the head, right above the eyebrows, slightly tilted to one side or the other; some even wear it with the visor at the back. But the ideal way is to wear it with the visor straight above the eyebrows: a classic look that also protects the face from the sun. 

The snapback cap: a cap primarily rooted in streetwear culture

To dive a bit into history, the snapback cap is a sports cap that emerged in the 80s. It’s also called a “baseball cap” since it was first worn by baseball players. They popularized the snapback cap for both men and women over the course of games! From baseball supporters to the American population, the baseball cap was increasingly adopted and became one of the most worn cap styles in the USA.

Gradually, the cap became a success. Today, it is a fashion accessory for those who particularly love the casual or sportswear look.

This cap consists of a structured crown with rigid panels, a wide and flat visor, and an adjustable closure at the back. Like the fitted cap, it comes in numerous models and colors.

Styles of snapback caps for women 

There are several models of snapback caps for women on the market. Many types of caps are unisex; you just need to ensure it fits your size.

It is very trendy to wear a cap with masculine features and then break the style with feminine pieces. Or just dive into the cap’s character (the athlete): jogging pants, sweater, white sneakers. There is something for everyone!

To better inspire you, we dedicate a few models of snapback caps for women to you, along with the looks that go with the caps

The Quicksilver Decades snapback cap: 

Made from cotton and polyester, Quicksilver’s snapback cap features 6 panels with a curved visor, a notched strap at the back, and raised embroidery centered on the front. Its black color easily goes with all outfits, as long as it’s an urban look.

This is the ideal cap for your little outings in the city with friends or alone to run errands. In the summer season, a bodycon or oversized t-shirt dress with white sneakers or platform sandals would make a trendy look. Wearing heels wouldn’t be a no; just choose beautiful pairs that are suitable.

You can also wear it with skinny jeans, mom jeans, or tube pants. It is also suitable for your morning jog to protect you from the sun.

In the winter season, opt for a black leather jacket, a pair of fitted jeans, and sneakers. Don’t forget to carry a mini bag: a very trendy bag model at the moment to add more pep to your look. 

Don’t hesitate to brighten up your clothes; it’s a black cap, so bright colors are not a fashion faux pas, just don’t overdo it! 

The Quiksilver Brested snapback cap: 

Sticking with the same brand, let’s discover together this second, completely different snapback model from Quiksilver. This one is 100% cotton, has 5 semi-structured panels, a notched strap at the back just like the previous one, and a flat embroidery on the front.

We have seen this style of cap on the heads of famous Los Angeles rappers or Lakers team fans, but also on those who are just fans of the American style. Indeed, this model is typically American.

For the look, there’s no middle ground; everything oversized and loose is in. Therefore, go for masculine pieces when wearing this cap.

A large khaki t-shirt, for example, tied at the navel, boyfriend jeans, and sneakers. You could also be comfortable with an XXL-sized men’s t-shirt, Air Max sneakers, and sunglasses. Like a star! 

The Puma lowlands P snapback cap: 

And our little favorite, the Puma golf snapback cap. It’s unisex but looks particularly good on women. Don’t you think? Its floral print fits well with sunny days or during your sports sessions.

The lowlands snapback cap vaguely reminds of moments of relaxation and good mood. How can you not be in a good mood with these prints? A small outing with friends under good weather, going to study, going to the park, or going shopping.

It is slightly curved, has a moisture-wicking or sweatband, two 3D embroidered logos on the front, and a Puma cat logo embroidered at the back.

You can opt for a monochrome look with this cap: a white polo, white skinny jeans, or white shorts, and sneakers from the same brand in white. We love it! 

You can wear it with denim overalls, always with a white t-shirt and blue sky sneakers or Converse. Always favor white or a pure and light look with this snapback. 

How to wear the snapback cap? 

We have seen some looks and some models of snapback caps for women. Here, how to wear them is the question. Besides colors and accessories, how you wear it can also mark your style.

For that, there are a few ways to wear the snapback cap that you might like or not. We just want to point out that there are ways that may not suit you. Nevertheless, here are a few ways to wear it: 

The classic way to wear the snapback cap

A way we all know: putting the visor straight on the forehead just above the eyebrows. It’s an easy and effective way to wear a cap. We find it the best way to wear a snapback cap.

A bit to the side 

We saw this years ago, and today it’s back for more style. It should be noted that not all snapback cap models can be worn this way. 

Cap worn backwards 

Another more comfortable way to wear the cap: wearing the snapback cap backwards. It emphasizes the streetwear look. This style is more commonly seen in men than in women. And we recommend it more for young ladies than for mature women.
