I'm thinking about buying a new baseball cap, but I get overwhelmed with so many options. What are the main shape types of baseball caps?
user
The most common types of baseball caps have “flat” (also called “relaxed” or “crew”) brims and the more specific types are “curved” (also called “tapered”, “rimmed”, or “skull”) and “flipped” brims. Flat brims are more common than any other kind. Curved and flipped brims are used less often but are more fashionable and more flattering. Flat brims also have a more pronounced association with baseball.

That's useful, thank you. I prefer more androgynous styles of baseball caps as well, perhaps monochromatic.

Monochromatic baseball caps would not be the most popular or fashionable style, but there are many examples. And you could also just look for the most suitable shape, without caring too much about the actual style of your cap.

I tend to prefer background colors. Muted greens, muted browns. What are great stores for buying androgynous clothing, do you have any suggestions?

If you are looking for in-person stores, you could check out H&M, Zara, Uniqlo, or Uniqlo’s brother, U&Co. These stores are fairly accessible to you in the Chicago area, but maybe not H&M (they only have 5 stores). You might also try online stores like Asos and Gap.

H&M , I keep hearing about them. From famous stars, even.

If you have questions about purchasing from online stores, you could always ask your local Target or Walmart store, where there are frequently promotional deals for new clothing items.

“Androgynous” is an ambiguous term that people use differently. So if you mean you’re looking for clothing that doesn’t have an overtly gendered association, then I can tell you that there are online stores that specialize in that. But you should know that some people, including me, have serious questions about what the word “androgynous” even means. You might be interested in this forum post for example: http://www.arqade.com/question/...
