Back in the 90s, caps were absolute fashion must-haves that found their home in the hip-hop scene in particular. In recent decades, however, headgear has established itself as one of the most casual accessories and is worn by many both during sport and in their free time.

It is increasingly finding space in the wardrobes of young girls and boys.

Children's caps are now available in a wide variety of styles and designs. An absolute classic is the baseball cap. Its trademark is the curved peak that protects your child from the sun.

As the name suggests, baseball caps come from the American sport of baseball, so they are also available with numerous club logos.

The snapback cap is also one of the most popular children's caps. The peaks are straight, which gives the look a youthful and modern touch. In addition, most of these caps have a clip closure at the back of the head, so that they can be easily adjusted and adapted to the shape of the head.

This makes the snapbacks for children very comfortable and they even grow with your child!

Trucker caps are particularly known for their mesh fabric at the back of the head. Although they cover the entire head, the mesh-like material still allows for good air circulation.

This means that your child will sweat less with a trucker cap than with a baseball cap, for example. The designs of trucker caps for children are often very unusual: colorful motifs and lettering adorn the cap, which are then color-coordinated with the mesh.

A so-called fitted cap looks like a regular baseball cap, with the difference that it is not adjustable, but has a fixed size. This means that it fits your child's head like a glove - provided you choose the right size.

Most manufacturers specify the size based on head circumference. You can easily measure this with a tape measure about one centimeter above the ears.

• Cotton: Baseball caps are usually made of cotton. The material is very breathable and temperature-regulating, which makes cotton caps ideal companions on the beach, at the pool, etc.
• Polyester: The synthetic fiber is particularly impressive due to its lightness and waterproofness. However, since the material is not very breathable, children's caps made of polyester often have a mesh panel on the back to allow the head to ventilate a little.
• Wool: Wool caps are ideal fashion accessories for winter as they keep your head warm and provide a comfortable feeling.
• Linen: Caps made of linen are becoming increasingly popular. The fine yet robust fabric feels pleasantly cool on the skin - perfect for outdoor activities in summer.
