Women's trucker cap: breathable mesh and retro style

With its mesh back, the women's trucker cap stays cool in summer: '47 Branson MVP in the colours of the Yankees, Dodgers or Red Sox, New Era 9TWENTY and 9FORTY of the Bulls, Chelsea, Stade Toulousain or RC Toulon, and Kangol Ripstop Army or Reflective Speed.

The trucker cap, the hat of the American roads

The trucker cap comes from the roads of the United States: once given away by brands to farmers and truck drivers, it featured their logo on the front. Its mesh back kept it cool during long days.

It has become a fashion accessory, retro and casual.

An icon of the turn of the millennium

At the turn of the millennium, the trucker made a strong comeback in fashion, worn by celebrities and pop culture. It regularly returns to trends, today worn with more understated pieces than back then.

The mesh, to breathe

The mesh back allows air to circulate and disperse heat, making the trucker the ideal cap for summer. The front, often made of foam or fabric, displays the logo.

'47 Branson and Tuscaloosa

The Boston brand '47 produces the Branson MVP, a trucker in the colours of the New York Yankees, Los Angeles Dodgers or Boston Red Sox. The Tuscaloosa, in the colours of the Oakland Athletics, has a more vintage look.

New Era, from baseball to rugby

New Era offers the trucker in 9TWENTY, soft, and in 9FORTY, more structured. Logos range from the Chicago Bulls to Chelsea FC, including French rugby with Stade Toulousain and RC Toulon. A 9TWENTY version is tailored for women, in Yankees colours.

Kangol, the technical trucker

Kangol, an English brand, offers the Ripstop Army, made from a tear-resistant fabric, and the Reflective Speed, featuring reflective details for visibility at night.

Trucker, snapback or baseball?

Trucker: mesh back, cool, retro style.
Snapback: flat brim, high crown, streetwear style.
Baseball: fully fabric, more versatile.

How to wear a trucker?

With denim shorts, a tank top and sandals, it recalls American summers. With a checked shirt and jeans, it takes on a western vibe. With a light dress, it creates a laid-back contrast.

The trucker on holiday

At a festival, on the beach or on a road trip, the trucker protects the face from the sun while allowing the head to breathe. It easily slips into a bag and handles hot days well.

Trucker and hairstyle

The back strap allows for a ponytail or braid. Loose, wavy hair under a trucker gives a bohemian, very summer vibe.

The supporters

A trucker from Stade Toulousain or RC Toulon accompanies afternoons at the stadium, in the stands under the sun. The mesh prevents overheating during the match.

The trucker and cycling

For cycling in the city, a trucker with reflective details, like the Reflective Speed, protects from the sun and helps you be seen at dusk. The mesh keeps you cool on the climbs.

Giving a trucker as a gift

In the colours of a rugby club or a baseball team, the trucker makes a simple gift for a supporter. Its adjustable strap means you don't need to know the exact size.

The colours

White and beige brighten up a summer outfit. Black and navy go with everything. Team colours and vintage logos add character to a simple outfit.

Finding your size

Truckers adjust at the back with a snap or strap. Adjust it so it fits without being tight. A version tailored for women offers a smaller head size.

Maintaining your trucker

Clean the front with a soft brush and soapy water, and rinse the mesh with clear water. Let it air dry on a round support. The foam front doesn't tolerate washing machines.
