What to Wear with a Dad Hat
Wearing a hat is one of the go-to fashion accessories of the year. And the trend is not planning on stopping anytime soon. Everywhere you look, people are rocking dad hats.

If you’re new to dad hats and want to jump on the trend, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know. By the end of this article, you’ll know how to wear a dad cap, what to wear with a dad hat, and some of our favorite dad hat outfits.
How to Wear a Dad Cap
Okay, so maybe you think your hair is too long, or your bangs will get in the way of wearing a dad cap. Lucky for you, any hairstyle looks great with the cap, and there are plenty of options for how to wear a dad cap.
With bangs
You might think you can’t wear a dad hat if you have a nice set of bangs. Maybe you’re worried your bangs will stick out, or they will be wonky once you take it off.
Try brushing your bangs forward and position the dad hat with the brim angled over your fringe. It should sit at the top of your forehead instead of flat across so that it keeps your bangs intact.
Experiment with your hair by parting your bangs to the side or creating a perfectly symmetrical fringe. If your bangs get wonky after you take your dad hat off, carry some hair balm to tame your mane.
With long hair
If you’ve got long hair, you have a range of hairstyles to play with. You can make a dad hat look casual or chic.
Pulling your hair back into a low ponytail is a classic and effortless way to wear a dad hat. You can create a polished yet casual vibe by sweeping your hair into a ponytail and popping a cap on top.
A loose bun is another way to create a chic yet casual look with a dad hat. But if you’re looking for something fancier, try plaiting your hair to the side with a fishtail braid.
Backwards
Wearing a dad hat backward creates a super laid-back look. It works best when you let your hair down as buns and ponytails will get in the way.
Just turn the cap around so the brim is at the nape of your neck. But be sure to wear it in a casual setting as a backward cap in your Sunday best isn’t a look grandma will appreciate.

While a dad hat won’t be the most appropriate accessory at a wedding. You can pair one with a blazer to bring your whole outfit together. Style this red Calgary Flames hat with a black blazer and a low bun for a trendy runway look.
Sunday lounging
Spend the weekend lounging around in sweats and a California Golden Bears baseball cap. While the PJs will keep you comfy, the dad hat will add a touch of glam to the same old borning tracksuit.
Walking your dog
If you need some fresh air on the weekend but don’t want to change into a more socially acceptable look. Throw on a Minnesota Wild two-tone dad hat with a big trench coat. Tuck your hair into a low bun and some earrings for a slightly sophisticated outfit.
