dad hats

Relaxed baseball caps

Dad hats are baseball caps with a slightly curved brim and relaxed, unstructured crown—the kind middle-aged men have worn for decades.

The term emerged as the style became fashionable among younger people in the 2010s, often worn ironically or as casual streetwear: She paired the vintage dad hat with an oversized hoodie.
