Keep a cool head: 4 cool sun visors for men

Those looking to stay cool on hot summer days are best off reaching for hats with sun visors. The sporty baseball classic has become fashionable and is now available in countless styles and forms. Here are just four of the many cool men’s styles with sun visors:

1. Keep cool with visors at the beach or lakeside

Hat hair is a thing of the past with the stylish and convenient sun visor! This style protects your beach-boy hairstyle and shades your eyes from the bright summer sun.

• The perfect combination: Visors go well with cool printed shirts or color-coordinated Hawaiian shirts. Add in Chinos and a pair of flip flops and your beach look is complete!

2. “Cool and the City” with baseball caps

Baseball caps are so much more than just a piece of sports equipment; designs with high-quality material and subtle prints or neon colors lend smarter outfits a casual note.

• The perfect combination: Baseball caps look especially good with Chinos or skinny jeans. Complete the laid-back look with a matching, slim-fit button-up shirt in the same color family or a contrast color (light blue to yellow or pink to red) and a pair of leather sandals.

3. Enjoy a cool sundowner in your snapback cap

Contrary to closed baseball caps, snapback caps are open in the back. The so-called “ponytail opening” allows you to adjust the size. But that’s not the only reason it’s considered a combination wonder: Styles in white or with sophisticated color combinations like metallic gray or black/gold make it this cap a perfect addition to your evening attire.

• The perfect combination: Snapback caps go well everything, even with a formal suit. To get the right look, just be sure to trade in your dress shoes for a cool pair of sneakers and throw in a pair of hip sunglasses. Alternatively, snapback caps also look fantastic with an understated printed T and a pair of skinny jeans!

4. Gentlemen rely on visor hats

When caps are a bit too sporty for your tastes, simply opt for a hat with a solid visor.

• The perfect combination: These all-rounders go well with classic jeans or relaxed linen pants or chinos. All eyes will be on your hat with this cool look! Therefore, it’s best to stick with t-shirts or button-ups in subdued colors.

The direction of the visor will determine what look you should go for: Backwards hats are reminiscent of the ‘80s, while hats to the side imitate the cool hip-hop look of the ‘90s. Styling rule: When wearing your hat to the side, be sure it’s between your ear and nose and not at a 90-degree angle to your face.
