The possibility of mixing luxury and streetwear is a relatively new development in the history of style. What used to be two very distinct worlds are now one and the same, and that’s perhaps most plainly obvious in the world of headwear. Luxury caps represent the intersection of accessible style and luxury fashion. For those looking to elevate their everyday fits, there’s really no easier way than by adding the proverbial cherry on top in the form of a luxury baseball cap.
Of course, the pros of luxury caps don’t end at accessibility. The baseball cap is a year-round accessory, but one that’s genuinely useful during summer. Half form, half function, luxury caps are the sidekick that we all need to lead us through the sometimes tricky summer style season.

Ranging from punk-leaning pieces from Vivienne Westwood to clean, simple takes by C.P. Company, there’s a cap for us all and each of them will bring a touch of luxury to casual summer fits.
Many headwear experts swear by C.P. Company caps and it’s no mystery why. This tonal white number offers clean, simple style as well as the Italian brand’s always-on-point quality.

While most luxury houses look to neutral or black foundations for their baseball caps, Francesco Ragazzi’s Palm Angels opts for something much brighter. This bold, red cap turns heads.
