A cap can complete any outfit — if you know how. Here are 7 proven combinations.

1. Casual streetwear

Combine a snapback with an oversized hoodie, skinny jeans and trainers. Wear the cap straight or slightly backward for a relaxed vibe.

A clean baseball cap in a neutral colour (black, navy, beige) works perfectly with a polo shirt and chinos.

Trucker cap or 5-panel with a fleece, cargo trousers and hiking boots. Functional and stylish on the trail.

Go bold with a bucket hat or brightly coloured cap. Combine with a graphic tee and shorts.

Yes, a cap can be smart. Choose a plain dad hat in dark cotton, wear it with a blazer and dark jeans.

Corduroy cap with a vintage sports jacket and high-top trainers. The 90s are back and better than ever.

Plain black cap, white T-shirt, black trousers. Simple, timeless, always right.

Start with the cap type that suits your style: snapback for streetwear, dad hat for casual, fitted for clean.

Choose a cap colour that recurs in your outfit — shoes or top layer works best.

With an oversized top, wear the cap tight. With a fitted top you can go looser.
