Women's snapback cap: flat brim and 5 panels

The women's snapback cap features a flat visor and a snap closure: New Era 9FIFTY Heritage in the colours of the Yankees, Braves, or Highlanders, '47 Sure Shot, and 5-panel caps Fred Perry in pique, Kangol in faux sherpa, or New Era Colour Block. A bold streetwear look.

The snapback, the streetwear cap

Flat brim, high crown, plastic snap closure at the back: the snapback is the cap of hip-hop and skate culture. It has a more graphic style than the classic baseball cap.

The range mixes snapbacks and lower five-panel caps.

A cap to personalise

The high crown and flat brim of the snapback offer a large surface for logos, embroidery and colours. It's the cap of special editions and collaborations, chosen as much for its design as for its comfort.

The snap closure

The name "snapback" comes from its plastic snap band, which can be adjusted with a click. It adjusts quickly and allows for a ponytail to fit through.

9FIFTY Heritage

The 9FIFTY is the snapback from New Era. The Heritage line revisits old logos: the New York Highlanders, the former name of the Yankees, the Braves, or the Yankees themselves. The Retro Crown features a lower crown, inspired by caps from the past.

'47 Sure Shot

The Sure Shot MVP from '47, a brand born in Boston in 1947, is a flat-brim snapback in the colours of the New York Yankees. A piece that pairs well with a varsity jacket or an oversized sweatshirt.

The 5 panel caps

The 5 panel cap has a lower crown, with a large front panel made from one piece. More discreet than a snapback, it suits slender faces.

Fred Perry

Fred Perry offers it in pique, the fabric of its polos, and in twill, with its embroidered laurel crown.

Kangol

Kangol offers a 5 panel made from faux sherpa, soft for winter, and the Care Label model with a subtle logo.

New Era

The Colour Block Runner from New Era plays with blocks of colour.

Snapback or classic cap?

Snapback: flat brim, high crown, streetwear style.
Baseball cap: curved brim, more versatile.
5 panel: lower, more discreet.

How to wear a snapback?

Straight on the head, flat brim well aligned, for a street look. Slightly to the side, for a nod to the 1990s. With an oversized sweatshirt, joggers and high-top sneakers, it completes a sportswear outfit.

Snapback and hairstyle

Braided hair, a ponytail through the back opening, or a low bun go well with the high crown. Loose hair under a 5 panel gives a softer look.

The flat brim

The flat brim is the emblem of the snapback. Some keep it intact, with the original sticker, while others bend it slightly for a style closer to baseball.

The 5 panel in summer

Lower and lighter, the 5 panel cap is ideal for hot days. In twill or pique, like Fred Perry's, it can be worn with a summer dress, linen shorts, or a dungaree.

Snapback and feminine outfit

A snapback with a slip dress and trainers, or with an oversized blazer and straight jeans: the contrast between the streetwear cap and a feminine piece creates a current and bold outfit.

The colours

Black and navy are still the easiest. Retro logos and bright team colours go well with a sober outfit. A beige or khaki 5 panel complements a summer outfit.

Finding your size

The snap closure offers several notches: adjust it so the cap fits without being tight. A high crown should rest on the top of the forehead, without falling onto the eyebrows.

Maintaining your snapback

Clean it by hand, with warm soapy water, being careful not to bend the brim. Let it dry on a round support. The washing machine distorts the crown and damages the embroidery.
