The types and shapes of essential women’s caps for a summer by the sea

Outings to the sea are one of the to-do list items once summer signals its arrival. Sailing in a catamaran, sunbathing by the beach, enjoying cocktails with friends under a pergola… All of this sounds so dreamy when you think about it, and even more so when you have the right stylish cap, clothes, and accessories! 

 What are the ideal cap materials for summer? 

The material of the cap is the first thing to check if you want to feel comfortable during vacation. You certainly wouldn’t choose a wool beanie or beret to go to the beach! No, that’s a fashion faux pas. Better not wear one at all. 

Choose materials that will give you a bit of freshness under your cap. But what are they? 

• Straw: 

You can’t talk about summer if straw material is not on the agenda. Any item made from this material is a foolproof choice. It’s even more fashionable as a cap! Imagine yourself in your little shirt with shorts, or under your pretty swimsuit with a straw cap… It’s the perfect combo for your beach look. 

• Raffia: 

After straw, raffia comes in second place. It’s lightweight and allows your hair to breathe. If you have the right model, it would be perfect! Wear this hat with a raffia bag for more style and choose two pieces of cover-up when you go to the beach. 

Know that these two materials are the most suitable for outings to the sea. But there are also other materials and models of caps that can beautifully enhance your outfit.

Linen and cotton are also two other alternatives if you don’t particularly favor straw or raffia. Just make sure to choose a style and shape that fit well with your activity and especially with the strong sun that may not spare you.

How to choose a cap that suits your face? 

This step may seem the most difficult, but it’s super easy once understood. We will never stop telling you that if a cap suits a certain face shape, it may not suit yours. 

You need to be very careful because the cap you choose must depend on your face. Choosing the style of cap is crucial, as it all depends on the cap you choose.

What will you do if, once worn, it doesn’t suit you? To avoid this, we will help you by presenting some caps while marking the face shape that suits them. 

The sailor cap: 

Be the captain of your look with the sailor cap. It’s a lovely cap typically found with sailors, and which has been later adopted by us women. You can create various looks with this cap. You can of course choose a more attractive pattern with bright colors for your headwear.

Whether it’s summer, winter, or autumn, this cap will accompany you in style! Those with round and wide faces are the most favored for this cap. Treat yourself well! 

The trucker cap: 

Yes, the trucker cap can very well accompany you to the sea. Its versatility is its greatest asset if you are a fan of this style of cap. The trucker cap enhances round or triangular faces. It keeps you cool thanks to its mesh at the back, allowing you to spend a day without complaining about the heat. 

You can shop for it at various brands like Rip Curl, for example. At the same time, other brands offer caps in all materials, patterns, and colors.

The gavroche cap: 

Now here, let’s not talk about the sea, but just about summer. The gavroche cap with its chic retro look cannot be worn at the beach.
