When you are having a bad hair day, want to go incognito, are trying to avoid a run-in with your ex or just want to rock that sporty chic look, you should have a casual baseball cap within reach. The hats don’t only hide your greasy four-day unwashed hair, they protect your head and face from harmful UV rays. Baseball caps are the MVP of headwear, and distressed caps are an underrated member of the baseball cap family. These hats can either make your outfit more edgy or relaxed, depending on how you style it.
Much like buying ripped jeans, sometimes the professionals can distress something much better than you can. These artfully faded hats, which also have the occasional rip, are the perfect casual accessory. We found the best distressed baseball caps for women. Two of our picks have an extra hole for high ponytails, so they are truly designed with girls (and man-buns) in mind. They come in a variety of stylish colors.
