Your summer rotation deserves better than sweat stains and crushed brims.

If you’re anything like us, summer means you’re reaching for a fitted almost every day. Whether it's for blocking the sun or finishing the fit, your cap rotation is putting in work.

Here’s how to keep it fresh, functional, and looking good through every sunny day.

1. Pick the Right Cap for the Day

Sweat stains show up faster on light caps. If the UV index is sky high or it’s a heavy activity day, go with a darker cap. Save your whites and brights for breezy days or evenings out.

2. Match the Cap to the Moment

Not every cap fits every occasion. Keep a lightweight cap for outdoor days, a standout fitted for your cleanest looks, and a well-worn go-to for errands or gym runs. Build your weekly rotation like you build your outfits.

3. Refresh It Between Wears

Don’t wait until your fitted smells. A quick mist of fabric refresher spray can neutralize odors and extend the time between deep cleanings. Let it air dry overnight so it’s fresh and ready for tomorrow.

4. Keep It Fresh from the Jump

Keep a deodorizing hat strip in your cap at all times. These low-profile strips work while you wear your cap to absorb sweat, fight bacteria, and prevent odor from building up—so your fitted rotation stays fresher, longer.

5. Store Your Caps the Smart Way

Storing your fitted hats the wrong way can crush the crown and fade the color. Use a hat bag, a fitted case, or a clean shelf. It’s totally fine to store it brim-side down—as long as the surface is flat.

6. Brush Off the Build-Up

Use a soft-bristle hat brush once a week. It’ll keep dust and lint from building up—especially on darker caps that show everything.
