Need some suggestions? Here are the seven latest types of hat trends to know in 2022, paired with 19 outfit ideas, to help get your collection started!
Types Of Hats To Have In Your Wardrobe
Regardless of whether you have a casual sporty style or a sophisticated elegant one, there’s bound to be a hat style for you!

Baseball caps are the new sporty headpiece that everyone is completely obsessed with right now. We love how they can juxtapose any smart-looking attire and instantly give it a cooler touch. That said, there’s no denying the chic streetwear effect when it comes to pairing your baseball cap with more casual pieces.

Though popularised in the 1900s, the newsboy cap looks just as dapper today. Gentlemen, if you’re a huge fan of Peaky Blinders, why not take a chance with Thomas Shelby’s vintage style? He’s usually seen pairing his newsboy cap with a sharp, grey three-piece suit and leather gloves. Not a huge fan of overly formal outfits? Then draw inspiration from BTS V’s (Taehyung) simple white shirt and chino pants combo for a more relaxed yet debonair look.

Whether you love it or hate it, it’s clear to see that the trucker hat is here to stay in 2022. Associated with the likes of low-rise jeans as an ugly fashion trend, this just might be one of the most divisive types of hats this season. But seeing as the rise of the Y2K aesthetic isn’t slowing down any time soon, it was only a matter of time before the trucker hat makes its resurgence.

Fast forward to today, and the baker boy cap is now a favoured headpiece in women’s fashion. Seen on the likes of Taylor Swift, Gigi Hadid, and many more celebrities, this hat is a timeless piece that will never go out of style.
