Trucker caps are in! And not just on the head of the truck driver . This trendy cap should definitely not be missing in your wardrobe this summer. The cap with the mesh on the back not only looks like a vintage 'work of art', it is also very practical and gives your outfit that cool look.
What is a trucker cap?
The trucker cap, also called mesh cap, looks like a baseball cap. This is because it is a variant of the classic cap. The difference is that the classic baseball cap is often made entirely of cotton, while the trucker cap is made of foam with a mesh (plastic mesh) back. The cap is adjustable with a snap closure, so it is always "one size fits all". The peak of a trucker cap is round.
From the road to the street
The story of the trucker cap begins in the United States. Truckers in the 20th century wore caps with their company logo. A very clever advertising trick, right? The cap had to feel comfortable on the head and at the same time protect against bright sunlight while driving. Because the cap is largely made of mesh, it feels very airy and is nice to wear on warm days or during sports. Because of these properties, the cap found its way 'off the road' and onto the street in the 70s. Ideal for wearing during sports or any other form of outdoor leisure. In addition, the mesh material, of which the cap is made, looks trendy and feels comfortable.
