Even in the 90s, caps were absolute fashion must-haves, especially in the hip-hop scene. In recent decades, however, headwear has established itself as one of the most casual accessories and is often worn by many for both sports and leisure.

It is also increasingly finding its way into the wardrobes of young girls and boys.

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

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

The snapback cap is also one of the most popular kids' caps. The brims here 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 they can be easily adjusted to fit the shape of the head.

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

Trucker caps are particularly known for their mesh fabric at the back of the head. Although they completely cover the head, good air circulation is still made possible thanks to the mesh material.

This means that your child sweats less with a trucker cap than, for example, with a baseball cap. The designs of trucker caps for children are often very striking: 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 it fits perfectly on your child's head - provided you choose the right size.

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

• Cotton: As a rule, baseball caps are mainly made of cotton. The material is very breathable and temperature-regulating, which makes cotton caps ideal companions for the beach, pool & co.
• Polyester: The synthetic fiber stands out for its lightness and water resistance. However, since the material is not very breathable, kids' caps made of polyester often have a mesh part on the back to ventilate the head a bit.
• Wool: Wool caps are ideal fashion accessories for winter, as they keep the head warm and provide a comfortable feeling.
• Linen: Linen caps are becoming increasingly popular. The fine yet robust fabric feels pleasantly cool on the skin - perfect for outdoor activities in summer.

Kids' caps are indispensable for an athleisure-style outfit. But the casual headwear can also be easily combined with various other looks and occasions. Find out here which cap is best showcased with which outfits:

Whether for sports or leisure: If your little one slips into a tracksuit, then a baseball cap from Adidas adds an even sportier touch to the outfit.

But a baseball-style cap can also be excellently worn with a smart polo shirt and denim jeans or chino trousers.

For this, it is best to choose a pastel-colored cap like those from Polo Ralph Lauren - this creates an interesting accent in the outfit that looks absolutely elegant.

Styling tip: Kids' caps in pastel colors are also ideal for girls. Combined with a T-shirt dress or a blouse and shorts, your princess will instantly become an eye-catcher.

The cool trucker caps with mesh are ideal for adding the finishing touch to a casual outfit - for example, they go perfectly with comfortable jeans and a loose T-shirt or a thin knitted sweater.

Add a leather jacket or a parka, and the casual look for your boy or girl is complete. Does your little one want to look extra cool? In the 80s, a trend emerged where the cap was worn with the brim facing backward.

Even today, you can certainly add variety to your outfit with this style.

For the ultimate urban look, your child needs baggy pants, an oversized shirt, and stylish sneakers. In colder temperatures, a hoodie or college jacket is, of course, a must-have.

If you want to give the overall look a successful styling update, a snapback cap for children is therefore still a must. In bright colors or unusual patterns, the cap becomes an eye-catcher in your kids' look.

Let your child wear the cap backwards or sideways here too, to provide an extra dose of coolness.

The sizes of kids' caps are based on head circumference. Normally, this is given in centimeters, but with some manufacturers, the size may also be displayed in inches. You would then have to convert it first.

If you don't yet know which cap size is right for your child, you can easily measure it: simply place a tape measure around the head about midway across the forehead.
