Dad Hat Style Guide: How to Wear a Dad Hat Without Looking Like a Dad
The dad hat is a low-profile, unstructured cap with a curved brim. It is easy to wear if you know a few basics.
Know what you are buying
Our distressed dad hat is a 6-panel, unstructured, low-profile cap in 100% pre-shrunk cotton twill with an adjustable hook-and-loop closure. The Under ArmourĀ® version has an adjustable cloth strap and a built-in HeatGearĀ® sweatband.
Fit
The brim should sit just above your eyebrows. Adjust the closure so the hat sits snug without leaving a mark.
Outfits
Pair a dad hat with jeans and a graphic tee for a casual look. Try one with a funny tee for an easy weekend outfit.
Care
Spot clean when possible and air dry to protect the shape. Always follow the care label.
