Monarch Millinery Oval Patch Embroidered Baseball Cap

Seven colours is not a range, it is an invitation. Monarch Millinery has taken the plainest, most useful version of a cap, finished the front with a small embroidered oval patch and then made it in enough shades that there is almost certainly one that matches something you already wear. It is the definition of a casual hat: no slogan to explain, no distressing to justify, nothing to think about at all.

The cap is cotton, cut as a single piece, in one size. The height of the cap measures 5.1 inches, which keeps the crown standing up rather than collapsing flat against your head. As for the colours, burgundy is the richest and comes into its own in autumn. Cream white is the softest and the most summery. Khaki is the quiet neutral that flatters more than you would expect. Light blue is fresh and easy next to denim. Purple is the boldest of the set. Rose pink is the warmest and the most cheerful. Black is the one that goes with absolutely everything and never has to be considered.

What makes a cap like this worth owning is that it removes a decision from your morning. Pull it on over hair that is not behaving, wear it on the walk to coffee, keep it in the car for when the sun drops into your eyes, or put it on with a hoodie and jeans so the whole thing looks deliberate. Cream white and khaki belong with linen and tan leather through the summer. Black and burgundy are better in the colder months against wool and denim. Light blue, purple and rose pink are best kept next to plain neutrals so the colour has room to speak. Whichever you choose, it folds into a bag and comes out ready.
