How to choose?
At first glance, it may seem that there is nothing easier than choosing a cap, but this is not at all the case. This process requires a certain amount of attention to detail, as well as adherence to certain rules.
- First of all, you should pay attention to the size of the cap. It is important to know that such products are also subdivided into certain sizes corresponding to the diameter of the head.
- Compliance with the size of the headgear is important, since too large a product will slide over the eyes, and too small will put pressure on the head, especially in the temporal region, and create uncomfortable painful sensations.
- As with the choice of any other product, you need to pay attention to the quality of the seams and the entire material as a whole. In order to prevent rapid wear of the product, it is better to choose a high quality cap with neat, carefully stitched seams.
- If the choice concerns a product made of fur, it is worth taking care not only of its quality, but also of the authenticity of the skin. A headdress made of faux fur is not as warm as a product made of natural fur, as well as less wear-resistant and less attractive in appearance.
- And, of course, every person knows that the compliance of the headdress not only with climatic conditions, but also with the situation largely determines both the appearance and the inner self-awareness of a person.
How to wear?
Many may be puzzled by the question of creating an image with a cap model. And, as already mentioned, in this matter it is very important not to miscalculate and choose a model corresponding to personal and stylistic preferences.
For a sporty look, baseball caps or straight caps are usually chosen. They go well with both jeans and shorts made from different fabrics. Shirts, T-shirts, a variety of T-shirts and sweatshirts are also suitable. As for shoes, the choice is not limited.

More informal caps go well with jackets, down jackets and even fur coats. For caps in a classic business style, it is better to choose a strict coat or a sophisticated sheepskin coat with a predominance of straight lines and simplicity in the silhouette.
How to wash?
Washing the cap is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance, but there are still some nuances.
First of all, you should pay attention to the label on each product, which indicates the temperature of the water and the nature of the wash that the product can be subjected to. It is better to follow these rules, otherwise the product may lose its proper appearance or become completely unusable.
If dry cleaning is indicated on the label, it is recommended that you proceed accordingly and seek a dry cleaning service.
Before washing the cap, it is better to purchase a special device where you will need to place the product so that it does not lose its original appearance. The water temperature should be minimal so that the product does not shrink and become small.
