The 30 Best Hats for Men To Buy in 2023 (2024)

A plain black cap in cotton corduroy is a type of hat that will work wonders in your wardrobe. The embroidered Nike swoosh in the same tone is subtle, making it ultra-versatile, yet the logo still keeps that extra streetwear element when called on.

Made from Mack Weldon’s own lightweight, fast-drying performance fabric, which includes a mesh sweatband and targeted ventilation zones, this’ll be the go-to cap you grab when you’re heading to the gym, or just need to do those pesky chores.

In true Coach fashion, the American design house elevated the basic baseball cap into a luxury must-have by finishing this piece with beautiful leather detailing, hitting the nail on the sporty-chic head.

If you’re still wary about the notorious trucker cap that trended in the 2000s, Celine’s creative director Hedi Slimane should convince you that this style very much belongs in the year 2022 via this neo rave-inspired iteration.

The sportswear brand’s cap with an adjustable closure and self sweatband comes in a relaxed fit, with this camo version giving total dad-in-the-outdoors vibes, which is absolutely a good thing. You’ll even make dad proud by saving a buck or two when you buy this one.

Thanks to hip-hop, the structured 5-panel constructed snapback hat with a flat brim emerged as one of the biggest trends in the 90s. This Vans cap made of an acrylic-wool blend in a mid-high-profile fit shows why the style is here to stay.

The high-profile-fitting snapback hat from Carhartt may have undergone a naming rebrand (it was formerly known as the Ashland Cap), but it still has all of the offerings that’s kept it so popular, including an odor-fighting sweatband, its sweat-wicking and fast-drying tech—plus, of course, its reasonable price.

Everything French designer Simon Porte Jacquemus touches turns to Insta-gold. And it’s worth the hype, as is seen with this reinvention of the baseball cap: a khaki-green headpiece that features a functional drawstring top. Adding his signature touch, the simple emblazoned white logo ensures the sporty cap remains elegant.

We’re not entirely sure what this cap-meets-beanie hybrid should be classified as, but we do know that we love it. Made from 100%-recycled polyester fleece, this cold-weather accessory boasts earflap folds that are set to keep your head as snug as a bug in a rug.

Active types will know the struggle that comes with the need for a head covering that provides sun protection but that doesn’t heat up your head like an oven, either. Under Armour’s specially designed ArmourVent technology ensures your head is shielded from the sun’s rays while it still experiences maximum air flow.

For the outside and on-the-go guys looking for a visor that emphasizes fashion as much as fit, the luxury label’s supremely sought-after cap in black suede certainly delivers on those needs.

Top off your outfit with a fold-over rib-knit cuff beanie that rightfully displays the style icon that is the world’s best-dressed bear. Featuring a seamed crown, the beanie guarantees a cozy fit, with the light gray color ensuring it pretty much goes with every outfit you throw on.

A beanie with a bobble will really up your winter hat game—it’s traditional but still playful. This one from Rag & Bone that features a ribbed brim is colorfully crafted from pure wool in that instantly recognizable Fair Isle pattern.

You’d be hard-pressed to find someone that doesn’t look good in a short—or fishermen—beanie. Think Wes Anderson’s cult-classic The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, or even better, Oscar-winner Mahershala Ali, who’s made these short hats a permanent part of his wardrobe.

The New Hampshire-based company was formed by textile engineers, so if you’re after a Merino wool authority, these guys should be top of your list. This double-layered yet lightweight wool beanie looks superb cuffed or uncuffed.

The outdoor clothing retailer’s Powder Town Beanie ticks all the boxes when it comes to your open-air accessory needs. Constructed entirely of recycled polyester fleece in a textured knit, it’s an itch-free, moisture-wicking and quick-drying offering that’s bound to give you plenty of mileage.
