Buy Caps – All Cap Styles at a Glance

A cap is a structured hat with a brim – the universal accessory in the street game. At CapUniverse you'll find different styles: baseball caps, trucker caps, snapbacks, fitted caps, flat brim caps and more. From New Era, ’47 Brand, Flexfit, Von Dutch and other brands. For women and men.

Baseball Cap, Trucker Cap, Snapback – which style is yours?

Every cap style has its own vibe. The difference lies in the details – and defines the look. The lineup: Baseball Caps, Trucker Caps and Snapback Caps – plus Fitted, Flat and Army.

• Baseball Caps: The most versatile piece in the lineup. Structured crown, curved brim for the clean move or flat brim for the street statement. From sporty to casual – the all-rounder.
• Trucker Caps: Foam front, mesh back, snapback closure. The OG look from the 70s – Von Dutch brought it back, the streets never let it go.
• Snapback Caps: Snap button at the back, one size, infinitely adjustable. No fuss with sizes – just put it on, adjust the brim, done.
• Fitted Caps: No adjusting, no compromise. Fixed size, perfect fit on-point. New Era's signature piece: 59FIFTY, clean, straight.

Then there are flat caps for an urban, dressy look – rounded crown, short brim, timelessly cool without looking stuffy. And army caps for anyone who likes a flatter, wider cut. At CapUniverse you'll find the full spectrum.

From Baseball Stadiums to the Streets – Caps in the Streetwear Game

The cap has quite a journey behind it. Originally developed in 1800s baseball as sun protection, it appeared in the skate scene in the 1970s – and became a lifestyle statement there. Hip-hop, streetwear and pop culture turned it into a global accessory in the 80s and 90s. Today the cap is no longer sports gear, but an identity piece: New Era brings MLB vibes, Von Dutch brings back Y2K, Djinns and Capslab deliver streetwear drops with their own character.

What sets snapbacks apart from fitted caps is more than just the closure: fitted caps have that structured, on-point fit without adjustment – that's the move when you know your head circumference. Snapbacks and strapbacks work for almost any head, no measuring needed.

New Era, ’47 Brand and Co. – the Brands in the Cap Game

New Era dominates the fitted segment: 59FIFTY, 9FORTY, 9FIFTY Snapback – clear structure, MLB team logos and countless colourways. The New York Yankees Cap is the most famous drop in the lineup and shows why New Era defines the cap game.

’47 Brand stands for vintage vibes from Boston: soft crown, relaxed fit, MVP snapback and strapback that feel at home on the street. Flexfit delivers an athletic fit without a fixed size – elastic insert, automatically adjusted.

Von Dutch brings back Y2K trucker energy. Djinns stands for streetwear DNA with a distinctive character. Capslab for pop collab drops. American Needle for vintage sports vibes. Explore everyday basics alongside limited releases and collaborations.

Fit, Care and the Right Cap for Your Head

Snapback and strapback caps are infinitely adjustable – one size, ideal for head circumferences of approx. 54–62 cm. Flexfit models adjust automatically thanks to the stretch band. For fitted caps, it's worth checking your own head circumference in cm – which size fits is explained in our Guide to Cap Fit.
