Questions
Should a cap sit high or low?
Level and low enough that the band sits just above your ears. Perched high reads costume; pulled to your eyebrows reads hiding.
Can you wear a cap with non-athletic clothes?
Yes. A clean, unstructured cap in a quiet color works with knits, tailoring and denim. Loud logos are what break the mix.
What color cap is most versatile?
Black or a warm off-white. Both disappear into almost any palette you already wear.
