1. What are you going to use it for?
Before you rush into buying, ask yourself this:
-
Do you want it to protect you from the sun?
-
Looking for an urban touch for your outfits?
-
Will you use it for sports or for everyday use?
Depending on your goal, you can choose between more functional or more fashion-focused models.
2. Choose the type of cap
New Era offers several styles to suit different tastes:
-
59FIFTY (Fitted): Closed cap with no back adjustment. This is the classic baseball cap, the most iconic. Ideal if you're looking for a professional and authentic look.
-
9FIFTY (Snapback): With adjustable closure. Perfect if you want to combine style and comfort.
-
9FORTY: A more relaxed style with a curved visor and Velcro or metal adjustment. Very versatile.
-
Trucker: Mesh back, very cool for summer. Gives a casual look with a retro feel.
-
Bucket Hats and Beanies: Alternatives for other seasons or more streetwear styles.
3. Take into account the shape of your face
-
Round face: Opt for flat visors or tall caps (like the 59FIFTY) that flatter your face.
-
Long face: Curved visors better balance proportions.
-
Square face: Trucker caps or caps with soft lines look great.
4. Size and fit
New Era caps are manufactured with different sizing systems:
-
Fitted (59FIFTY): Make sure you measure your head properly. It's a good idea to use a tape measure or try on several styles if you're in a store.
-
Snapback and Strapback: Easier to adjust, ideal if you want to give it as a gift or don't know your exact size.
5. Design: Your Personal Touch
This is where your style comes into play. New Era has designs for every taste:
-
MLB, NBA, or NFL teams: If you're a fan of American sports.
-
Plain or minimalist styles: For a more urban or elegant look.
-
Special collaborations: Like Disney, Marvel or urban artists.

6. Maintenance and care
A good cap deserves pampering:
-
Clean it by hand with a soft brush.

Avoid washing machine , as it may deform the visor.
-
Store it neatly , preferably on a shelf or hanging to maintain its shape.
