Seriously?
I bet all those guys wearing them at the ball fields feel differently... those ON the field and OFF.

Baseball cap worn facing front: okay outside for casual, sporty events (ballgame, picnic) or yardwork
Baseball cap worn backward: lame
Baseball cap worn sideways or perched funny on the head: super lame
Baseball cap worn inside, regardless of position: rude (and possibly lame: see above)

When I was 9 I would literally not take my cap off at all, except to shower. Yep, I'd often wear it to bed, so wearing it indoors wasn't exactly a big deal for me.

The grand and ancient tradition of the Rally Cap is an appropriate time to wear a baseball cap backwards, sideways, inside-out, or some combination thereof:

Rally cap - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The last time I wore a ball cap backwards was to make room for a headlamp...

Just wondering what do you think of baseball caps from a fashion perspective?

I don't wear them simply because they do not protect my neck - although I do when I grow my hair longer. I prefer slouch hats with brims anyway, but admit I don't often wear hats even when it's hot and sunny.

Do you think wearing a cap backwards/to the side is passe/goofy?

What about girls/women wearing baseball caps? Seems kinda 90s, I saw it in the States, I think it's kind of cute to be honest lol.
I love my hats
I like the fact that my hair is up & I'm comfortable. I originally started wearing them to deter guys from approaching, lol. That backfired- now they stop to tell me how cute the look is

If you wear a hat: (for a sports team especially) - take OFF the stickers, etc. - just because they are shiny doesn't mean you should keep them on your hats. 2nd: curve the brim, it does look stupid to have a straight across brim.

If you are over 14 years of age, it is a faux pas (unless you are gardening in your own back yard, or going to an actual ball game.)
