Flat Caps (Snapbacks)
- The Look: A classic from the streetwear and hip-hop scene. They are characterized by a completely flat, wide brim and a structured, stiff front.
- Vibe: Modern, urban, striking.
- Fit: Usually sits quite low on the head and accentuates the face shape.
Curved Caps (Baseball Caps)
- The Look: The traditional baseball cap. The brim is slightly curved from the factory, which flatters the face and optimally protects the eyes from the sun.
- Vibe: Sporty, timeless, casual.
- Fit: Conforms perfectly to the shape of the head and is the ultimate all-rounder for every day.
Trucker Caps (5-Panel)
- The Look: Distinctive due to the mesh fabric at the back of the head, which provides maximum ventilation. The front often consists of a single, stiff panel (5-panel), offering plenty of space for large logos.
- Vibe: Vintage, US workwear, casual retro look.
- Fit: Due to the stiff front, it often sits slightly higher on the head ("high profile").
Half-curved Caps
- The Look: The perfect bridge between flat and curved. The brim is only very subtly curved – not as flat as a snapback, but also not as strongly curved as a classic baseball cap.
- Vibe: Modern, balanced, trend-conscious.
- Fit: Ideal for those who can't decide between a sporty and an urban look.
- The Look: Extremely casual. Unlike a classic baseball cap, the crown here is completely unstructured and soft (usually made of cotton). The brim is curved.
- Vibe: Absolutely relaxed, effortless, vintage minimalism.
- Fit: Lies flat and soft on the head – looks like a cherished heirloom and is extremely comfortable.
Winter caps with ear flaps
- The Look: The cold-weather version of the baseball cap. It combines a protective brim with fold-down ear flaps, often lined with fleece or teddy fleece.
- Vibe: Functional, autumnal, Scandinavian outdoor style.
- Fit: Keeps the head warm all around, protects against wind, and remains sportier than a regular knit hat.
Bucket Hats
- The Look: Not a classic cap, but a hat with a all-around, sloping brim. The soft fabric folds easily and can be stored in a pocket.
- Vibe: Festival cult, 90s nostalgia, casual street style.
- Fit: Sits loosely on the head and offers 360-degree protection from the sun (and light rain).
