baseball caps

Curved-brim sport hats

Baseball caps are brimmed hats with a rounded crown and a stiff bill projecting forward to shade the eyes.

Originally worn by baseball players, they became ubiquitous casual headwear.

The back typically adjusts with snaps, Velcro, or a fitted band.

Worn backward or sideways, they signal informality or youth culture: He turned his baseball cap around to get a better look through the viewfinder.
