Caps are maybe my favorite queer accessory. They look great on femmes, great on butches, great dressed up and dressed down, they’re great if you don’t care about fashion, they’re great if you do, they’re great for all genders they’re great for all styles. Plus there’s the utilitarian function where they keep your head warm and block the sun from your eyes or the rain from your face. They’re like enamel pins but for your head.
I started getting into caps last year. For a long time I hated how all hats look on my head, but I found a peach emoji dad hat and then Carly Rae Jepsen released a pink Boy Problems dad hat and I knew that I had to join the trend. Now I have those, plus a trucker cap that says Baby Girl, a Jurassic Park snapback and I’m always looking out for more cute hats to add to pop princess/junior rodeo queen wardrobe. On the other end of the gender presentation spectrum, my girlfriend has recently been exploring more butch fashion and style and has loved getting into wearing snapbacks. She looks really great in them, you guys. I’m sure all of you will look really good in them too.

This one is just really cool and from the Alien movie franchise and I want it and I love it.

A very simple hat that sends a very simple but powerful message.

I like hats with food on them. They’re big right now. Let’s all wear our favorite foods on our hats.
Shark Bouquet Mermaid Snapback
Floral Mermaid is the hottest trend in gender for Winter 2017.
Siren Cupid Snapback
If you want to send a subtle message about misandry, you can wear this hat and flag for being a Siren, who lured men with their songs and made them crash their boats into rocks.
Sad Gay Hat
This hat is the ultimate mood for 2017. And for 2018 to be honest.

If you’re the type who likes to put pins on your hat you can just get this hat and skip that step.
Royal Houndstooth Prince Snapback
No joke, this hat would look really good for formal occasions. Pair it with a royal blue suit and you’re set.
Taupe Suede Snapback
This one is also great for formal stuff. Plus, the color is light enough to work with most palettes.
what makes something a dad hat vs some other sort of cap?
I believe a dad hat is a slouchy billed baseball-type hat but with a buckle closure instead of snaps. A snapback is a snap-closure baseball-type hat with a stiff bill. 5-panel hats are shaped differently if you look at them from above.
Thank you. I was gonna ask the same thing.
Same.
They’re redoing their website right now but I have a unicorn hat from @littlequeershop on Instagram and they have clothing and hats for adults AND kids and it’s all so beautiful and adorable, highly recommend!!!!
Also… If Autostraddle decided to put hats in the store I would NOT complain.
Bless you Mey and may some one include that Wey-Yu cap in their cosplay or costume of Ellen Ripley hopefully with a Private Vasquez.
*immediately orders Sad Gay hat*
I love snapbacks but they always make my head hurt? Is my head too big for all snapbacks? Or is there a solution to this that I’m just not seeing?
I saw this hat on a dude at a cidery. I immediately was filled with the urge to smack it off his head bc his patchy-faced self did not deserve its gloriousness.
My head seems to be too small for snapbacks, sadly; the front panel is like an inch too wide. I got excited when I found a Rebel Star Wars one that fit at Disney, and then saw the receipt said it was a child size. (I still wear it sometimes, though)
