Unveiling the Style Trend: Dad Hats
A dad hat brings a relaxed detail to everyday clothes. Its soft crown and curved brim work well with simple layers, while colour and embroidery give you room to make the look your own. Here are three outfit ideas to try with pieces you may already have.
Three ways to style a dad hat
Jeans and a plain T-shirt
Start with jeans, a plain T-shirt and trainers. Choose a cap in a similar colour to one of the clothes, or use contrasting embroidery as the main detail. Keeping the rest of the outfit simple gives a word, symbol or small embroidered motif more space.
An overshirt and chinos
Try a cap with an open overshirt, a simple top and chinos. A washed finish can make the combination feel more relaxed. The JACS custom vintage cap is made from brushed, washed cotton and has a pre-curved brim.
A casual jacket and textured layers
Pair a cap with a denim jacket or another casual outer layer. If your clothes are mostly plain, corduroy can add texture without another large pattern. Our custom corduroy cap is made from 100% cotton corduroy with a soft, unstructured crown.
Choose colour and fit together
Think about the clothes you reach for most often. A cap that repeats a familiar colour is easy to combine; a contrasting colour can become the focus of the outfit. Neither approach requires you to match every accessory.
Check the measurements and adjustment details of the specific cap. Crown depth matters as well as circumference, so a low-profile model will not sit the same way on everyone. Our guide to dad hats explains the shape and the main features to compare.
Add your own text
For a personal detail, explore custom embroidered caps. Initials, a name or a short phrase are useful starting points. Choose from the available fonts and colours, then check your spelling and design before ordering.
Look after the cap you choose
Follow your cap's care label and avoid treating it like an ordinary machine-washable garment. Our cap cleaning guide explains what to check before cleaning an embroidered cap.
