From designer baseball caps to high street caps for women

Princess Diana’s off-duty outfits are a forever vibe, from cycling shorts to leopard print swimsuits, but it’s her very un-royal baseball cap that we’re excited to add to our spring 2023 outfit rotation.

With warmer weather on the horizon, a baseball cap is a lighter alternative to a woolly hat which I, for one, rely on to hide my bad hair days on the school run. Plus, they’re a purse-friendly price with plenty of styles under £10 too.

Princess Diana often wore a navy baseball cap, embroidered with a gold design, but you can go plain or logo depending on your preference. There’s even a trend bubbling up of so-called ‘dad’ caps, complete with tongue-in-cheek slogans on caps in sunwashed colours.

How to wear a baseball cap

Don’t banish a baseball cap just to the school run or for running, though; Princess Diana’s oversized blazer and baseball cap combination is a dreamy spring mash up of smart and casual, and one that we can easily emulate.

Add knee-high boots, jeans and gold hoops to really copy Princess Diana’s look, or top a wool coat and sneaker outfit off with a cool, minimal cap.

If you're wearing your hair in a ponytail, pop it through the 'closure' hole or wear a low ponytail and wear the cap over the top; otherwise, baseball caps look surprisingly cool with your hair down.
