For those who weren't already aware, the snapback cap is back in style. It's all set for another go around after having enjoyed immense popularity back in the 90s. Once upon a time, with an oversized T-shirt and baggy jeans, it was a hip-hop staple. Today, however, worn with contemporary clothing, it is edgy and stylish.
But you have to know the right way to wear a snapback. We're going to offer a few tips so that you will be better assured of wearing your snapback right, avoiding a fashion faux pas, and without looking outdated, still manage to make a statement. First things first…
Snapback & A Shirt
Snapbacks are not for gym or casual only. Instead think about wearing a snapback with a shirt (chambray, button down or denim) and chinos to smarten up your look. Here we recommend a snapback that’s as plain as possible rather than loud over the top slogans or branding. Pair with sneakers (not dress shoes) and you’re good to go.
Snapback & Bomber Or Leather Jackets
When the temperature drops you’re going to need to keep things warm with a good jacket or coat and your snapback. Whether you opt for denim, leather or a flight ready bomber, ensure you pair it back with a basic t-shirt. Again, avoid heavy logos if you want a smart casual vibe. Sneakers or boots will work best in this situation. Ripped denim is a recommended winner too. Attempt tracksuit pants at your own risk, rather cuffed tailored trousers are a better solution.
Snapback & Activewear
David Beckham is perhaps the kind of wearing a snapback when it comes to activewear. Always on the go with the family, the former athlete is your go-to daily inspiration for sweats. We like wearing the snapback in the gym to keep hair out of your eyes when training hard. Wearing it backwards is totally acceptable here too. If you’re sweating a lot then go for a synthetic or sweat wicking snapback so it doesn’t get smelly. Wash the snapback afterwards in cold water.
Snapback & Hoodies/Sweats
This option is very casual. Sweats and hoodies are your ‘I don’t give a shit’ choice for wearing a snapback. Think running down to the shops to get milk rather than attending an event. If your income allows you may want to try a Gucci or Supreme hoodie for that street credibility, however a hoodie is a hoodie so don’t overthink this. Perhaps try John Elliott for a nice plain hoodie to wear your NY Yankees snapback with. Stick to jeans and joggers down below.

Snapback & Smart Casual Or Formal
Lastly, there may be some occasions where wearing a snapback and formal attire is required. We can’t think of any occasions this has happened to us, but if you’re perhaps balding then this option will work for you. Ensure you go for a basic snapback and let your suit or blazer do the talking. Pair it down with a t-shirt or knitwear. What about a tuxedo and snapback? We would avoid that unless you’re trying to make a fashion statement.
Choosing the Right Snapback Cap
To the question of, "What snapback cap should I choose?", there is no wrong answer. It's all a matter of personal taste. Consider your style and personality and try to pair a design from the many varieties available. What look are you going for?

Try the unadorned design if you prefer a minimal aesthetic appearance. If you're still on the fence, stick to a classic and simple design in black or some other dark color. Whatever outfit you choose to pair your hat with, it should be a good match.
