If you thought sporty caps and snobs didn’t go together, then think again. Spring runways took a turn for the athletic, so it’s high time we rethink the American classic. That’s right, I’m championing the baseball hat. But don’t relegate these for incognito trips for the gym or bad-hair days. Be unexpected, and pair yours with a flirty dress or a pair of high heels.

1. Topshop Leopard-Print Baseball Hat: You don’t have to forfeit a wild sense of glam for unadulterated athleticism – this catty print cap combines the two.

2. Karen Walker The American Girl Hat: As American as apple pie, this bold primary pattern will have heads turning. Wear this brim tilted with confidence.
