How it differs from a regular casquette
Crown size, presence and range of styling
- Crown size: A silhouette given more fullness than usual
- Presence: The hat becomes the star even with simple clothes
- Range of styling: The look changes greatly with the front-back and side-to-side angle
While a regular casquette gives a strongly classic, refined impression, a big casquette lets you enjoy more of a statement as a fashion item.
