For those who weren't already aware, the snapback cap is back in style. It's all set for another go around after having enjoyed immense popularity back in the 90s. Once upon a time, with an oversized T-shirt and baggy jeans, it was a hip-hop staple. Today, however, worn with contemporary clothing, it is edgy and stylish.

But you have to know the right way to wear a snapback. We're going to offer a few tips so that you will be better assured of wearing your snapback right, avoiding a fashion faux pas, and without looking outdated, still manage to make a statement. First things first…

The Snapback Cap – What Is It?

Old school baseball is where the snapback originated. That doesn't mean that the only snapback hat is a baseball cap, however. They have distinct differences despite being similar in nature. The snapback is a one-size-fits-all style thanks to its adjustable snap or strap around the back. Official baseball caps cannot be adjusted because they are fitted hats. Other snapback features are the rigid sections that form the hat, the flat, wide brim, and high frontal dome. With a larger space for prints and text at the front, the distinctive appearance of a snapback is provided by its shape.

Choosing the Right Snapback Cap

To the question of, "What snapback cap should I choose?", there is no wrong answer. It's all a matter of personal taste. Consider your style and personality and try to pair a design from the many varieties available. What look are you going for? The answer to that question will go a long way toward helping you pick the right hat. If sports are something you are highly interested in, you may prefer a snapback with a team logo. Try the unadorned design if you prefer a minimal aesthetic appearance. If you're still on the fence, stick to a classic and simple design in black or some other dark color. Whatever outfit you choose to pair your hat with, it should be a good match.

Wearing Your Snapback with Style

The most classic way to wear a snapback is with the brim facing forward. Compared to wearing it backward, this is a cleaner appearance while still looking casual. At the same time, however, it can make a stylish statement of fashion. You'll create a standout style by pairing your snapback with both hip-hop outfits and smart, casual attire.

Things Not to Do with a Snapback

There are some rules to follow as to when a snapback should not be worn. It's harder to pair a snapback with business or formalwear, so you may want to stick with casual outfits. Back in the 90s, there were rules that differ from today’s where the wearing of a snapback is concerned.

Speaking of things that used to be done with snapbacks that should not be done anymore, please don't bend the peak. It may have been popular at one time, but not so much today. These hats can appear awkward or wrong if bent. There is a reason for the flat brim. If you want to curve your visor hat, go for it. But hold the bend in the brim of your snapback to a minimum, if any.
