Casquettes & Berets

You Like the Idea of a Casquette, but "Somehow It Doesn't Suit Me"

2026.01.13

Have you ever felt that way?

QUICK ANSWER

A casquette is a hat whose look changes a great deal with just a small change in how you choose it and how you wear it. Wear it a little deeper, add a little volume at the back, and don't pull it too far forward. Just keeping these 3 points in mind turns "it doesn't suit me" into "it feels right".

In fact, a casquette is
a hat whose look changes a great deal with just a small change in how you choose it and how you wear it.
The reason it didn't seem to suit you may not be your sense of style but
a "slight miss on the key points".

In this article, we explain:

All in a way that is easy to follow, even for beginners.

What people who feel casquettes don't suit them have in common

Size, depth and brim balance

① The size doesn't fit

Size and fit matter a great deal with a casquette.

Too tight → it emphasizes the size of your head
Too big → it looks sloppy

In particular, if you are

someone with a larger head, or
someone whose head is wide around the upper sides,

be sure to check when you put it on "whether it feels tight" and "whether it spreads out too much to the sides".

② It is worn too shallow

If you wear a casquette shallow, perched on top of your head,
the roundness that is characteristic of a casquette doesn't come out and the balance is easily lost.

With a casquette,

wear it a little deeper
give it roundness at the back

Just keeping these 2 points in mind makes the impression much better.

③ The brim and your face are out of balance

A casquette with a brim that is too long
can make the area around your face look heavy.

Especially if you feel "it doesn't suit me",
a short to medium brim is what we recommend.

It brings the hat closer to your face, so it blends in more naturally.

How to choose a casquette without getting it wrong

3 criteria: silhouette, material and size adjustment

① Choose a rounded silhouette

Rather than a flat casquette,
a silhouette with a moderate three-dimensional shape blends in more easily with your face.

Beginners in particular
are less likely to go wrong if they choose a shape that isn't too wide.

② Start with materials that don't "stand out too much"

For your first casquette,

Cotton
Denim
Corduroy

and othermaterials with an easy-to-read texture that go easily with your clothes are what we recommend.

Very shiny materials and leather-type materials
are less likely to go wrong if you try them once you are used to casquettes.

Start with materials that don't "stand out too much"

③ Choose one with size adjustment

A casquette with a size-adjustment tape inside
lets you fine-tune it to your own head, so you can wear it with confidence.

"Just a little loose", "just a little tight":
whether you can adjust this slight discomfort makes a big difference to how comfortable it is to wear.
