Rock This!: Baseball Caps

Hi there! I hope everyone had a great weekend :) I've actually been feeling a bit under the weather (probably because of all this crazy weather) and have been trying to get some rest, if there is anything I absolutely hate being, its being sick :P

But nonetheless, the show must go on! Today, I'm bringing you an edition of "Rock This" featuring the hot new fashion accessory...the baseball cap! This actually came about from talking with a good friend of mine, Michelle, who recently bought a Chicago baseball cap (which is super cool, btw, check it out here) and wanted to figure out different ways to style it that wasn't your basic t-shirt + jeans look. I decided to take up the challenge and created 3 different ways that she (and you!) can style this new must-have accessory.

Get the Look: T by Alexander Wang Black Mesh Skirt / Steven by Steve Madden "Barren" Oxford Booties / Rebecca Minkoff Nicky Canvas Messenger Bag / Vince Camuto Oversize Cat Eye Sunnies / Aritzia Talula Shrunken Trooper Jacket

I think this first look would be perfect for Michelle as she has that edgy + cool sense of style that I love. You definitely need a certain amount of swag to complete this look. I can totally see someone pounding the streets of New York (or Paris, *winkwink*nudgenudge* Michelle) in this.

Get The Look: Dries Van Noten 'Teenage' Knit Sweater / Mango Short Lisa6 / Current/Elliot The Roller Boyfriend Jeans / Dolce Vita DV Shellie Wedge / Vince Camuto Julian Oversized Clutch / House of Harlow Faceted Triangle Studs

This one is definitely my favorite as it's so relaxed and easy to wear. This would be perfect for a casual weekend with friends spent shopping, eating out, or hey even attending an actual baseball game ;)

Get The Look: Blonde & Blond Striped Skater Dress / Old Navy Tab Sleeve Trench Coat / J.Crew Biella Metallic Penny Loafers / Juicy Couture Saturday Soiree Ms. Pippa Bag 

Last but not least, an unexpected pairing. I love how both the loafers and baseball cap bring a casual element to a flirty skater dress. Wear this when running errands to stay cute + casual while on-the-go.

I think the key to making a baseball cap more fashion-forward than frumpy-dumpy is to choose hats that are in neutral colors so that they'll pair with practically anything and also make sure there is minimal to no branding on the front. That way you can throw it on as you would any other accessory for a boyishly-cool, laid-back fashionista vibe.

What say you, readers? Have you or will you try accessorizing with a baseball cap? Would love to hear how you all would wear it! :) Thanks for reading!

'Till Next Time...
