The only thing as iconic to New York as the skyline may just be the crisp, classic New York Yankees baseball hat design. A staple among city slickers and worldwide street style stars alike, the cap is a celeb go-to for an added dose of sporty-chic flair that never strikes out. In an unexpected but extremely cool collaboration in celebration of Major League Baseball’s Opening Day, Swarovski has teamed up with sports merchandise brand ‘47 on a limited-edition New York Yankees logo cap, combining glamour with downtown cool.
We’ve recently spotted Yankees caps being styled beyond the ballpark, serving as a celebratory accessory that shows allegiance to the best city in the world (yes, we’re biased here at WWD), but also as a status symbol. It’s been donned by off-duty models and trendsetters like Bella Hadid, Lori Harvey, Dua Lipa, and Kendall Jenner, each of which have made the classic cap a statement piece in ensembles for posh dinners to laid-back travel days and post-pilates smoothie runs. With the iconic logo’s Y2K, McBling-era makeover in Swarovski sparkles, there’s no shortage of styling inspiration.
Want to knock your look out of the park? Take cues from the It-girl playbook: Lori Harvey paired her classic cap in an “old money” two-piece ensemble of monochromic tweed, while Dua Lipa was seen on-the-go in a layered leather jacket and cozy hoodie. Bella Hadid, a vintage lover and street style chameleon, opted for an early aughts-inspired white baby tee and slouchy khaki pants for a lunch date. Whether you’re heading to a game or desperate for a high-style solution to a bad hair day, the limited-edition cap, priced at just $150, is a head-turning collectors item worth adding to your rotation.
The ‘47 x Swarovski hat is made in a relaxed fit, with an adjustable strap back and loop label in the back. It features a raised logo emblazoned at the front, embellished with clear, Swarovski crystals, offering a high-glamour, mega-watt reflection that’s sure to shine bright in the son. Made from 100 percent cotton twill, it comes in yellow, pink, green, and the classic navy blue.
This drop is bound to be a home run among New York fanatics and fashionistas alike, so make sure to snag your cap before the season begins.
