The hat (or cap) is one of those accessories that many men overlook completely as being too bold or garish or simply as unnecessary – yet the addition of a fine cap can really top off a wardrobe and pull the rest of the look together.
While popular brands of the ascot or flat caps are especially fine, such as Kangol or Bailey's, other quality brands that do not bear these designer labels are just as acceptable if they are properly fitted and constructed of quality materials such as wool, felt or suede.
Often known colloquially as a Kangol cap, a brand association similar to how "Coke" is used as a general synonym for soda in the southern United States, the ascot cap is perfect when paired with more casual clothes – perhaps a pair of slim corduroy or cotton pants with a fitted polo or sportshirt, paired with accessories such as modern, thick rimmed sunglasses.
The low profile of the cap intimates a less ostentatious aesthetic design that works perfectly with a more understated, casual image; for this reason the ascot cap is one of the most popular designs amongst discerning men, both young and old. The ascot cap can be worn with denim, corduroy, linen, or cotton pants or slacks as well as nearly any combination of casualwear and is popular especially amongst artists, writers, and musicians.
