Baseball caps have the innate ability to transform any kind of fit. Wanna go full incognito while running errands like Andrew Garfield? Baseball cap. Wanna make a suit more casual like Bad Bunny? Baseball cap. Wanna tell the world that your thrift plug is better than everyone else's? You guessed it: baseball cap.
Hollywood A-listers and Very Famous People in general have been rocking this off-duty vibe since the ‘90s. It’s the perfect way to get from point A to point B without being papped, but it also looks solid, too. So even if you've got less than 50 followers on Insta, we've rounded up celeb-approved baseball caps to cop. Because if they're good enough for Jeremy Allen White and Pharrell Williams, they're probably good enough for you.
A$AP Rocky
At this point, the New York Yankees are probably more well-known for their baseball caps than as an actual baseball team (sorry to all the die-hards). A$AP Rocky has flexed a bunch of different designs and colorways in the past, but the black 9Fifty is the ultimate classic that every single dude should own.
Bad Bunny
When Bad Bunny went on-stage to collect his Grammy last year, menswear Twitter went berserk. Not only because his suit was perfectly-tailored, but also because he decided to streetwear it up with New Era's LA Dodgers cap. And this combo is definitely nothing new. Denzel Washington did it back in the day. So did the late Robin Williams. But it's further proof that this style doesn't plan on going anywhere, anytime soon.
Cole Sprouse
Back in September, Cole Sprouse turbocharged the dadcore vibe with a baggy blazer, a baggy shirt, and an even baggier jeans. And because he was in London for the JW Anderson show, it just made sense that he would wear a JW Anderson baseball cap. Since then, the piece has become something of a menswear grail, and it's regularly endorsed by some of the biggest fashion guys out there.
Jeremy Allen White
Jeremy Allen White can't get enough of his New York Mets 9Fifty cap. And alongside his Nike Cortez sneakers and a big bouquet of flowers, the American actor has carved out quite a uniform for himself. This particular hat is so legendary that Kith released its own luxed-up version earlier this year as part of the ‘NY To The World’ collection. And, as with anything designed by Ronnie Fieg, it sold out.
Justin Bieber
As he climbed out his chopper with a Birkin in one hand and a pair of JW Anderson padlock mules on his feet, it really shouldn't come as too much of a shocker that Justin Bieber also has an expensive taste in hats. Made in collaboration with Japanese contemporary artist Yayoi Kusama, this LV cap is like the Rolex of baseball caps.
Paul Mescal
Paul Mescal loves his baseball caps as much as he loves his short shorts. The specific color that he usually wears is sold out everywhere at the moment (unsurprising), but this St Patrick's Day edition is a grand alternative.
Pharrell Williams
Not only is Pharrell Williams famous for his work across, well…everything, he's also known for his extensive collection of headwear. We're talking snapbacks from the OG BAPE era, giant mountain hats by Vivienne Westwood, and baseball caps from Human Made, a Japanese streetwear label founded by his good friend and colleague, Nigo.
Ryan Reynolds
Ryan Reynolds is a big fan of soccer merch. But not just any soccer merch—his soccer merch. Whether he's on the streets of New York City or the beaches of Los Angeles, the Canadian national treasure is often spotted wearing a baseball cap straight from the merch store of the Welsh soccer club (Wrexham) that he co-purchased with friend and fellow actor Rob McElhenney in 2020.
Timothée Chalamet
And you know who else loves soccer? Timothée Chalamet, that's who. On those off-duty days when he's not wearing mad fish scale jumpers from Bottega Veneta or silver breastplates by Givenchy, he opts for a New Era Chelsea cap. He's got the navy version that released a while ago, but good news: the true-blue version's still available.
Tyler, the Creator
At the front row of the Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2024 menswear show, Tyler, the Creator showed up in one of his fave caps—the Philadelphia Phillies 59Fifty. It's bright. It's fiery. And best of all, it's still in-stock. What's not pictured though, is his matching Louis Vuitton Speedy P9 bag. It's not the million-dollar version that Pharrell owns, but this one will still set you back five figures on a good day.
