Common styles of hats
Baseball Hat
The Baseball Cap is the most common style of cap used by people all over 
the world and is considered as a wardrobe staple. It has a round crown, firm 
curved bill that provides shade for the eyes & face and a button on the top 
of the hat.
Dad Hat
The Dad Hat is a 6 panel baseball hat with an unstructured crown and a 
slightly curved brim but not as curved as the traditional baseball hat. They 
are usually made of washed cotton or canvas.
Trucker Hat
This is also similar to baseball hats; the main difference is in the mesh back 
and broader front panels. The front panels are usually made of foam or 
cotton twill. The mesh back of these hats keeps your heads cool during hot 
summer days.

Snapback Hat
The Snapback Hat is a structured version of a baseball hat with an adjustable 
snap closure. They come in a variety of styles - flat-billed, curved billed, 
sandwich billed, mesh-backed, and more. It adds a vibrant and sporty touch 
to any outfit.
Beanies
Beanies are the best options to keep your head warm during the chilly cold 
weather. Besides the classic knit or cuffed beanies, many beanies now come 
with pom-poms or a slouched back for a modern and relaxed look and feel.
Fitted hat
These hats have closed backs with no opening and have a stretchable fabric 
that wraps around your head. They got their name from the fact that these 
hats cannot be adjusted; you just buy a size that fits your head.

Bucket Hat
Bucket hat is a soft hat with a round crown, a wide brim, a downward sloping 
brim and two metal eyelets on the sides of the hat. The brim offers shade 
from the sun for the eyes and face.
Distressed hat
The fibers in the fabric of a distressed hat are strategically removed to create 
a beaten, torn or worn out look for the hat. The distressing does not affect 
the wearability or durability of the hat. These hats look anything but new.
Sandwich billed hat
These hats use a colorful layer of material in the brim, while the top and 
bottom of the brim retain the same colors as the rest of the hat. The result 
is a layered color scheme along the breadth of the hat.
Ponytail hat
It is a cap with a high ponytail hole to keep your hair up higher and off your neck. It will 
hold your hair in place better.
