The British flat cap is the most popular choice of both ladies and gents head wear and has been around on the fashion scene for a long time now. Designed mainly for men in the 14th Century, they have come a long way and have been re-visioned as a chic and stylish accessory that many celebrities and leaders in fashion are now seen sporting.
If there is a cap gaining more momentum today than others it is the baker boy hat. This highly popular street style has been seen worn by many fashionistas recently and is sure to be one of the most sought after hats in the upcoming fall season. Why, you might be wondering? The baker boy hat is both underrated and fashion forward and looks good with almost any outfit.

The baker boy hat can be a real game changer for any outfit you may be wearing, whether it be casual or dressy. They are most commonly a staple in the Fall/Autumn wardrobe with their tweed and wool composition, however they are not limited to any season and can be worn both formally or casually in street style. Max Mara gained a lot of media attention in their Spring/Summer 2020 collection when they launched their baker boy hats in a series of summer pastel colours worn with light summer clothing. This is a more refreshing and modern take on the baker boy hat, once again showing its versatility and wearability in all seasons! To replicate this fun style opt for lighter tartans such as one of the dancer tartans, like Ailsa Pink or Harris Lilac, Clan tartans such as Bell of the Borders or Cameron Hunting Ancient would also look great.
