How to choose the perfect cap for women: a guide to sizes and styles

A cap isn't just an accessory, it's a style statement

Choosing the right cap for women isn't about grabbing the first one you like the look of. Size, material and shape completely change how it fits and what occasions it suits. Here's the guide we wish we'd had before designing our own.

1. Size and fit

Most women's caps come in a single adjustable fit, usually between 55 and 60 cm head circumference, with a rear buckle closure to adjust it. It's the most practical system because it fits almost any head without having to get an exact size right. If you have long hair or usually wear it in a ponytail, look for caps with a slightly more open back so it doesn't feel tight.

2. Material: cotton, corduroy or neoprene

Gorra de algodón Mosh

Cotton: light, breathable and the most versatile option all year round. It usually has a washed finish that gives it a relaxed look.

Gorra de pana Mosh Lola

Corduroy: with more visible ribbed texture, it gives a very flattering vintage touch. Note: it's not thicker or warmer than plain cotton, it's the same material with a different finish.

Gorra de neopreno Mosh

Neoprene: moisture-resistant and more structured, ideal if you're after a cap that holds its shape well with everyday use.

3. The dad hat style: the one that suits most people best

The dad hat (six-panel cap, curved brim and relaxed fit) is the cut that suits most face shapes best, precisely because it isn't rigid or exaggerated. It's the style we use as the base across the whole Lola collection.

How to style it

With a low ponytail and a casual look, a light cotton cap. With a coat and boots in winter, brown or black corduroy adds texture without overloading the outfit. For a sportier look, neoprene in a plain colour keeps everything clean and minimalist.
