The cap has become an essential fashion accessory that comes in many shapes, styles, and materials.
Here is our selection of the most beautiful women's caps to be trendy at the moment .
The story of the women's cap is inseparable from that of the men's cap. It all started in 1571, when a law was enacted in England to require men and children over the age of 6 to wear a headgear on Sundays. Those who do not comply with this law are liable to a fine of 17 pence. Only the working classes are concerned:the cap will then become a symbol of the working class.
Later, military caps (like the kepi) will appear and their derivatives, to accompany work uniforms (security guard, railway worker, driver, doorman, janitor, etc.). It's on the 20 th century that the cap became dissociated from work uniforms, worn by schoolchildren and students, and soon by the bourgeois attached to the countryside.
The city cap is the traditional cap. More of a fashion accessory than a functional hat, it now comes in many shapes and styles.
Newsboy cap appeared in the 19 th century. Named after the character of Miserables of Victor Hugo, Gavroche, it has long been a symbol of revolt. This 8-panel cap has a rounded, domed shape and a short crescent-shaped visor. It is flexible, comfortable, and timeless, which means that it is worn by both men and women, whatever the morphology of the head!
The newsboy cap will go perfectly with a retro or casual look.
It is worn slightly tilted to the side of the head. In summer, prefer a newsboy cap in linen, cotton or denim, and in winter, a newsboy cap in wool or leather.
The military cap, also called Cuban cap or army cap, is a flat cap, with a short peak. It is one of the oldest cap designs, but it has been modernized and is now trending all over the world. The Cuban cap is unisex and will be perfect for a casual look. You can also take advantage of its military side to match it with an army look. As one of the most popular cap shapes, it comes in a variety of colors and materials, not just camouflage fabric!
The sailor cap is one of the most recognizable models, with its cord and short, rigid peak. Originally, this cap was used by sailors, just as the army cap is the cap of military uniforms. Therefore, its main advantage is its robustness:even in the rain and wind, it will not move! It is worn with a relaxed casual look.
Street wear caps, also called American caps, come in several shapes for a casual and trendy look.
You can find many styles of caps for women at Headict, the specialist in the field, with shapes and colors all more beautiful than the other... and of course ultra trends!
New Era is an American brand of sports accessories renowned for the unique style of its women's caps. There are several styles of streetwear caps:fitted (with sizes), trucker, curve or snapback. New Era caps are fashionable baseball caps.
Since the end of the 80s, this model has no longer been confined to the baseball field and has become the most fashionable of the brand, thanks to the possibility of adjusting it to the half a centimeter, but also to its baseball connotation, the favorite sport of Americans.
Among flat-brim caps, the best known are the fitted cap and the snapback cap.
The fitted cap does not only exist at New Era. This type of women's cap has popularized the cap because now everyone finds their size and can adjust their cap to the morphology of their face.
The snapback cap, like the fitted, is adjustable . So there are fewer sizes, but you can still find a cap in your size! This model of cap was particularly popular among young people in the 80s and 90s, popularized by rap singers, with brands like New Era and Starter, and patterns often bearing the image of the biggest American baseball teams. (NY, LA, etc.)
The strapback cap is derived from the snapback cap. Like the latter, it can be adjusted using a leather or fabric strap. This system allows an even more precise adjustment.
The trucker cap is the most classic model of baseball cap . It is curved and has a curved and rigid visor. It is more vintage than the snapback cap. We find it today a lot in its net version (with a net at the back of the cap) for an old school US look. The trucker cap is also ideal for matching with a casual look, with mom jeans for example and a small basic white top.
The visor is the favorite cap for athletes (tennismen, golfers, etc.) because it allows the head to breathe. In the United States, it is synonymous with social status and is worn by members of select sports clubs.
Because it only has the visor, this cap protects the head less from the sun and for this reason it is more of a fashion accessory than the other women's caps, for a sporty chic look.
Here's an update on the trendiest materials for his city cap.
Suede is a very popular material for its softness and comfort. There are colored suede caps or classic camel-colored caps. First the prerogative of alternative brands like Olow or Brixton, suede leather is now even of interest to brands like New Era and each brand offers at least one model of suede cap!
Leather is a noble material that can give a chic look to your cap, whatever form you choose. It is also a very robust and resistant material, which will make it a durable and timeless cap . Leather is more comfortable and will allow your head and scalp to breathe.

Camouflage is mainly used for army caps , but not only. Camouflage can be cotton, wool, or leather, and it's great for a military or tomboy look.
Velvet will give your cap a high-end look . You will find it in several colors, especially dark colors which will be more chic and can match any type of outfit.
