Long gone are the days when we only wore caps on bad hair days—they’re just way too cool for that! In summer 2025, we’ll be combining them with pretty much every look and occasion. STYLEBOOK shows which baseball caps are just right for women right now and which hairstyles go best with them.
The style potential of caps has long been recognized in men’s fashion, but for women, the sporty headgear has tended to lead a shadowy existence. Not in the year 2025! Suddenly, fashionistas are wearing baseball caps in all colors and designs—up and down.
Overview
4 Cool Caps for Women
Cap with Blazer
We love a skillful style clash! A cap for women also goes perfectly with a blazer. It relaxes a formal look and adds a cool edge to the sometimes conservative blazer.
Caps with Lettering
Lettering, whether logos or cheeky slogans, look particularly cool on caps for women. However, it’s important to ensure that the rest of the outfit avoids a busy mix of patterns or prominent logos. If you want to be particularly trendy, go for dad caps like those from On Vacation x Belsazar – Asos or Kauf dich glücklich also have some cool models online.
The origin of the name is unmistakable. In the past, middle-aged men—dads—wore their favorite caps until they completely took on the shape of their head and lost their stability. Only then was the ideal fit achieved. This habit gave rise to a real trend that continues unabated to this day. And now, this trend has also taken hold in women’s fashion!
Brightly Colored Caps
Sporting a cap in a vibrant color is sure to turn heads. Prefer something less flashy? Then a cap in a rich shade of blue is ideal for you—it also looks fantastic with jeans.
Used-Look Caps for Women Are on Trend
In addition to logo styles and bright colors, caps that are slightly reminiscent of washed-out jeans are also popular. On the one hand, this looks particularly casual, but on the other hand, it should not be combined too carelessly; otherwise, the chic outfit can quickly devolve into a sloppy appearance.

What Hairstyle Should a Woman Wear Under a Cap?
If the cap doesn’t accommodate a high ponytail, the go-to cap hairstyle is the classic sleek look. In other words, the hair is simply worn loose and straight. A middle parting also makes sense here, as it allows the same amount of hair to peek out from under the cap on both sides of the head.
If you like it a little more elegant, use a curling iron to create big waves or curls at the ends and lengths. But don’t set the wand too high, as the cap will flatten any volume at the roots anyway. Low buns or ponytails with a cap are also casual. Simply tie a low ponytail or bun at the nape of the neck, put on the cap, and gently pull out a few strands at the front – voilà, the effortless cap style is achieved.
