DON'T MISS A THING

Spring is hat season. Between the warmer weather and more sunny days, it’s the perfect season to break out those classic baseball-style hats. It’s also the perfect season to add a new hat to your collection!

While the spring weather is just begging for a new hat, it’s also the season of major sports events. From MLB Opening Day to March Madness, many hat brands and retailers are celebrating spring sports with tons of new releases.

That makes this season the perfect time to check out the latest New Era hats to find a design that catches your eye. You might even find two or three (or more!). From superbly stylish fitted hats to statement-making adjustable A-frames to relaxed “dad” hats, here’s your guide to finding the perfect hat this spring.

Go for the Classic Fitted Hat Look This Spring

When you’re looking for a new baseball hat, it’s hard to go wrong with a fitted hat. For many people, the New Era 59FIFTY is the gold standard for fitted hats. This New Era hat style comes with a heritage dating back to the 1950s and a strong connection to baseball.

New Era 59FIFTY hats offer that classic fitted hat silhouette. From the high crown to the flat brim, it’s always easy to spot a fitted New Era hat. They’re available in a wide range of sizes, so finding one that fits just right is as simple as knowing your size.

Of course, fitted New Era hats also come in a huge selection of colorways with all the team logos you can think of. While it’s easy to explore a wide variety of hat styles in all kinds of colorways, complete with various team logos, fitted New Era hats reign supreme when it comes to sheer selection.

It’s that wide-ranging selection that makes fitted New Era hats one of the top choices for spring. If there’s a specific colorway and logo combination you want, chances are you’ll be able to find it. If you want a unique New Era hat with a rare or retailer-exclusive colorway, those are out there, too. All you have to do is start your search.

Adjustable A-Frame Hats Bring Bold Style and Versatility to Your Spring Style

While fitted hats offer a superb fit and look, you may want to add some variety to your collection. That’s great, especially considering that there are so many other styles to choose from, like adjustable A-frame hats. The New Era 9FORTY A-frame silhouette is one example. 

These snapback hats feature a similar high crown to the 59FIFTY but typically feature a curved brim and, of course, adjustability. If you like the overall look of the New Era 59FIFTY, but prefer a pre-curved brim and adjustability, the 9FORTY A-frame is a fantastic alternative.

Keep in mind that there are sub-styles under the 9FORTY umbrella. There’s the 9FORTY A-frame, along with the base 9FORTY with a swept-back, lower profile crown, the 9FORTY Stretch Snap athletic hat, and the 9FORTY M-Crown, a newer style with a rounded, higher profile crown. That variety makes these hats super versatile.

However, if you are specifically looking for an adjustable version of the New Era 59FIFTY fitted hat, check out the 9FIFTY series. These snapback hats feature the classic 59FIFTY silhouette, flat brim, and adjustability.

Head Into Spring with the Relaxed Look and Style of the Dad Hat

Going into spring, the relaxed fit and look of a strapback hat, a.k.a. the classic “dad” hat, is hard to beat. It’s like a weekender hat. The kind of hat you throw on while you’re doing chores, running errands, walking the dog, and so on.

But it’s still the kind of hat that holds its own with distinctive styling and an instantly recognizable silhouette. Many brands have this style figured out. As an example, you can find 47 Brand hats complete with the swept back crown, curved brim, and strap adjustability.

47 Brand hats also come in a range of colorways and team logos, so once again, it’s easy to find “the one” that matches your own style or the look you’re going for. That’s exactly why relaxed strapback hats are easy to incorporate into any look.

A lot of people who gravitate to this style are looking for a low-profile hat. The casual, low crown gives this hat its “laid-back” silhouette. It doesn’t sit as high on the head as A-frames or fitted hats do.

Spring Is the Season of Fun, Vibrant Colorways 

With new fitted hats, adjustable A-frames, and countless other styles hitting retailers this spring, you may notice a trend: fun, vibrant colorways! Spring is a season of color and vibrancy. You see it in nature, and you’ll also see it in new hat releases!

Winter is often associated with darker tones and monochromatic hues, and you’ll find hats to match. During spring and summer, hat brands turn up the volume on their colorways and designs. If you want to add a splash of color to your spring look, now is the perfect time.

Transcend Style This Spring with Exclusive and Limited-Edition Hats 

Spring is also a big season for brand and retailer-exclusive limited-edition hats. One reason you’ll find so many exclusives is that these warm-weather seasons are prime hat season. People genuinely love picking up new hats in the spring (and as they look ahead to summer).

Another reason you’ll find a trove of exclusive designs and limited-edition hats is thanks to spring sports, namely baseball. Many brands and retailers, including those that specialize in baseball-style hats, love to put out spring sport exclusives. Fans love it, too!

Between MLB Spring Training and Opening Day, March Madness, and the lead-up to the NBA and NHL playoffs, lots of fun sports hit their stride in the spring. For Spring Training and Opening Day of the MLB season, especially, you’ll find fantastic exclusive releases and special-edition hats commemorating these events.

That said, you’ll still find exclusives celebrating other leagues and sports, too, including the NFL. If your goal is to find Raiders hats with unique colorways and logos during the off-season, there’s a good chance they could be a part of an upcoming spring release. It’s just a matter of keeping an eye on the latest drops.

There are plenty of New Era hats with rare colorways and logos in the pipeline (and many available right now). These hats feature unique colorways and stylized team logos. If you’re interested in a fresh take on conventional hats, limited-edition designs are the way to go.

Pro tip: If you want to land an exclusive hat this spring, follow your favorite hat retailers on social media. If they have a website dedicated to exclusive new releases, sign up for alerts and bookmark the tab. If they have an app, get it on your phone. It’s all about maximizing your chances of getting a unique hat that matches your personality and style this spring.
