So today I wanna talk about this Tokidoki MLB hat I grabbed a while back. It’s sitting there looking cute but kinda loud, right? All those playful unicorns and stuff mixed with baseball vibes. Had no clue how to actually wear it without looking like a total mess. Here’s what went down.
Digging Through My Own Closet First
Didn’t wanna buy new stuff just yet. Figured use what’s already hanging around. Started pulling things out, basically creating a pile on my bed – total chaos mode. Focused on finding basics: solid colors, simple patterns. Anything too busy would just fight with the hat.
Attempt Number One: Keeping It Super Casual
Went super simple first. Grabbed my oldest, faded blue jeans, like seriously worn-out soft ones. Paired it with the plainest white tee I own. Cleaned my sneakers real quick because they were kinda dirty. Tossed the hat on. Glanced in the mirror. Meh. Safe? Yeah. Fun? Not really. The hat kinda felt like it was shouting while the outfit whispered. Needed more balance.
Switching It Up: Denim On Denim Adventure
Alright, second try. Decided to play with some light wash denim jacket I almost forgot about. Same faded jeans underneath, but swapped the white tee for a super soft grey tee. Buttoned the jacket halfway. Hat back on. Looked again. Now we’re getting somewhere. The jacket made the hat feel less random? Like they were talking to each other. Colors were calm enough not to steal the show from the hat’s design. Plus, the denim layers felt kinda cool.
Okay, Maybe Trying Slightly “Dressed Up” Casual?
Third attempt. Wondered if I could dress it up just a tiny bit without being fancy. Black pants instead of jeans. Still a comfy tee, but this time a clean black one. Threw on my trusty dark blue unstructured blazer – the one that feels like a thicker shirt, super relaxed. Rolled the sleeves up a touch. Hat? Obviously. Shockingly okay! The black base made the hat colors pop even more, and the blazer added a tiny bit of structure. Didn’t feel like I was trying too hard. Just looked put-together enough.
Quick Stuff I Figured Out
- Let The Hat Shine: Seriously, don’t wear anything else with crazy patterns or bright colors. That hat deserves its spotlight moment.
- Simple Tops Are Your Friends: White, black, grey, heather colors? Perfect. They just work.
- Denim = Easy Win: Blue jeans, denim jackets, even shirts. Always seems to vibe well with the baseball cap style.
- Layer A Bit: Adding a simple jacket or even an open shirt gives some dimension without fuss.
So Basically?
Took some messing around with what I already had. First try was too boring, second try with the denim on denim was solid, and the third try with black pants and a blazer surprised me. Main takeaway? That Tokidoki hat is loud, so everything else needs to chill out. Stick to classic pieces you probably already own, and you won’t look like you tried too hard. Not bad.
