With the recent advent of the sporty-chic trend, style gurus and fashionistas across the globe having been searching for a way to cop this style. The key to executing this trend without looking like you’re constantly on your way to the gym is to add personality and edge. Baseball caps have been athletic staples for around a hundred years, so whose to say they can’t cross over into fashion? Sporty hats can add just enough of this athletic trend to any outfit without going overboard. It seems designers have been picking up on this as well because edgy lids have been everywhere as of late.
First up lets try to add some comfort. Nothing feels more comfy than wool, right? Covering this simple cap with a layer of fuzzy, blue, felt takes any look up ten notches.
