Once the primary accessory of 36-year-old fathers at their children’s baseball games, the dad hat has now become a staple of modern fashion with its simplicity and range of adaptations. However, here are four other options to spruce up your headwear.

Mini Fisherman Beanie
With fall right around the corner, a beanie is a staple for cold weather looks. But this season, opt for a more updated version. The fisherman beanie forms around the skull right above the ears, providing the practicality of a beanie without making its wearer look like a 4th grader during the first day of winter.

Five Panel Hat
Yes, the five-panel hat is back. Every scene kid and Odd Future fan of the early 2010s should rejoice. These hats give an alternative look to any outfit with its large brim and rumpled panels. Try this cap with a more relaxed fit, swapping out your regular jeans for slim chinos or trousers.

Beret
A staple of the ‘60s and synonymous with military and revolutionary leaders such as Che Guevera, the beret has a history with fashion. Today, this hat can add flair and a touch of class to an outfit. Try pairing this accessory with some oxfords and windowpane trousers or, for a more casual fit, skinny jeans and a camouflage jacket.

Fitted Baseball
Caps
Fitted baseball caps, the staple of New York fashion, are back. Although, New Yorkers were never really going to let the trend die in the first place. Great for streetwear-based outfits, fitted caps are great for casual outfits. Follow fitted cap aficionado Chance the Rapper’s footsteps and go out and grab a good cap for all occasions.
