Different types of hats
36 different types of hats
1. Baseball cap
In the 1860s, the Brooklyn Excelsiors wore baseball caps, and baseball caps became popular thereafter. A standard baseball cap is more suitable for baseball games or casual wear. The top of the hat is composed of multiple sides, with the most common being 6, 5, and 7 sides. The first two layers are hardened so that the hat can maintain its shape even when not worn.

The back button cap is an adjustable flat tongue baseball cap. This type of hat structure became synonymous with hip-hop in the early 1990s and has been loved by millennials and Generation Z ever since.

3. Dad's hat
There are various types and styles of baseball caps. One fashion variant is the 'dad hat'. The reason why it is called this name is because most of the time it is the fathers who wear this kind of hat. When it became a fashion accessory, everyone started wearing it. The top of the dad hat is relatively large, soft and comfortable, giving it a classic relaxed or leisurely appearance. The significant difference from a standard baseball cap is that the top of the cap lacks a sense of structure.
4. Truck driver's hat
This is a baseball cap with mesh at the back, worn by celebrities such as Ashton Kutcher, Britney Spears, and Justin Timberlake. Truck driver hats are not as popular now, but no one can say when they will become popular again. The rear panel of the truck driver's hat is mesh and highly breathable. The front panel has a sense of structure and is slightly raised.
