In this day and age, women are increasingly taking chances with what used to be traditionally “menswear” (i.e. suspenders, oxford shirts, and rugged footwear — just to name a few). 

Allow me to introduce yet another trend that started as a men and boys only piece: baker boy caps.

These hats are also referred to as newsboy caps or fisherman’s caps, though men and boys of all different ages and occupations wore these on the daily in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. 

And now it’s our turn! Though these hats may have bad connotations for ya (cue the bedazzled denim ones you see donned from time to time), baker boy caps can be included in any fashionista’s wardrobe.

Baker Boy Cap Outfit 1: All About That Class

The original cap may be associated with dirty outside work, but not this one! This outfit is perfect for a day when you want to look put-together and fashionable. Pair your black baker boy cap with a white crop top tucked into black belted linen shorts. Underneath those, slip on some fishnet tights to give your look an added edgy element.

Strap on some black Mary Jane heels to give you some height (or these slip-on loafers if you’re not a heels girl) and pull on your favorite round readers if necessary. 

Finally, carry around the necessities in a vintage polka dotted handbag and finish off with some beautiful gold pearl drop earrings. Pull your hair back into a messy low bun and you are ready to get ’em, girl.
