Run & Become
Running has exploded in recent years, as has the demand for fashionable and functional running gear. With recreational running on the rise, running caps have surged in popularity and are packed with features like quick-drying, light-reflective, and elastic properties to enhance
performance. This cap from The North Face has a printed peak to match other items of running gear from their collection.

Retro Nostalgia
Retro embroidery and bold patches, adorned with vintage colors and fonts. Embrace the nostalgic vibe for a trendy and expressive fashion statement. Think clashing colours, playful messaging and nostalgic fonts for timeless designs that will remain current through changing seasons.
Utilitarian Functionality
Traditionally associated with functionality as opposed to style, utilitarian caps have seen a resurgence in recent seasons. Fortunately, modern utilitarian design blends practicality with attractiveness, exemplified by Finisterre's pocket cap.
