Un SI rotundo a las gorras, porque son nuestro 'new black'

A resounding YES to caps, because they are our 'new black'

From being a purely sporty accessory to being an essential for the Street Style that is being talked about so much today. There is no doubt that caps have taken the streets of the world and especially the wardrobes of the most stylish women. But, what is that about the caps that now every celebrity and influencer takes with them everywhere?

The first thing to note is that caps arrived at a time when fashion is going through a transition where certain standards are being redefined. Breaking stereotypes and creating new identities. Although it would be wrong to say that fashion now does not have a single style, in fact, that very absence of "a single style" is a style itself. Were at some point the caps, accessories that functioned as elements to express or manifest something in society? Were the first women who wore caps successors to the first women who dared to wear pants?

Caps were initially a male accessory or complement used in wars, as a complement to military uniforms, just as they were used by the Egyptians in ancient times, did you know?

But it was not until the 60s that it was used as a sports garment, specifically in baseball, hence "Baseball Cap", which at that time was made of leather and well, later more creations were added, making them every once an accessory linked to the personality and tastes of people.

The trucker or baseball style cap began to be worn mostly by men, and somewhat less by women who used it on a more informal and sporty level. The truth is that this is history, since the middle of the 20th century caps began to be used as a complement for protection from the sun, rain, even snow. Fashion experts began to define this accessory as a good complement for those who wanted to frame the face and cover the hair.

But at what point did a sports cap and a formal garment like a classic blazer cross the line to create something we call athleisure? Well maybe this image will refresh your memory a bit:

At that time, the late Princess Diana could not imagine the impact that her uncomplicated and very original outfits of hers would impact a few years later. What did she mean by the cap? We dare to think that perhaps it was something like: "I am breaking the line of basics, without leaving aside my personality and freedom of expression."

In addition, we are living in a moment in which the eyes of fashion have come to a unique, simple style, without gender identity, where oversized garments, baggy pants, or jumpsuits that seek a chromatic harmony is what it demands and is marking a revolution in what is understood by aesthetic and classic.

We already spurred a bit on the style of wearing the cap as Diana of Wales did at her time: the royalty of the casual and uncomplicated. Her looks began to go viral even more thanks to The Crown series, where each of the outfits that made this precursor of street style eternal is revived in a very original way.

How to imitate him? The key is to always imagine an inverted triangle. That is, from the widest to the narrowest: loose garments at the top and tight at the bottom. That gives some symmetry to your figure.If you're going to cover your hair or hairstyle with a cap like our 'Fox Red' cap, look for a coat, a hoddie, a blazer, a jacket that is two sizes larger than the one you usually use, even those for men, which by the way, are becoming very fashionable, showing a bit of avant-garde and style.And at the bottom you can opt for leggings, or jeans with a straight boot.
