31 Types of Hats for Literally Every Style and Occasion

1. Baseball Caps

For a relaxed, easygoing vibe, baseball caps are a go-to option. These popular choices are known for their comfort, with mesh panels, curved or flat brims and adjustable closures.

2. Trucker Hats

A specific style of baseball cap, trucker hats have a solid, often branded front panel and a breathable mesh back with a plastic snap closure and a curved brim.

3. Sports Caps

Hats that are specifically designed for activewear typically are more lightweight and have sweat-wicking and quick-drying technologies.

4. Flat Caps

Another staple of everyday wear is the flat cap, which has a small brim and a slightly puffy crown for a laid-back yet polished look.

5. Newsboy Caps

If you prefer a hat with more personality, newsboy caps offer a similar aesthetic but with a fuller, rounder shape.

6. Beret

Associated with French artists, a beret is a soft, round, flat-crowned hat, usually made of woven, hand-knitted wool, crocheted cotton, felt or acrylic fiber.

7. Beanies (Knit Caps)

The close-fitting, brimless hat made of knitted material, is worn for warmth or as a casual fashion accessory. Called a tuque or toque in Canada, it comes in various styles like cuffed, slouchy or with a pompom.

8. Cloche Hats

Some hats just stand out — like the cloche hat, a soft hat with a bell-shaped silhouette traditionally worn by women in the 1920s.
