They have a long standing reputation of being the best in the business when it comes to Men Flat caps, Kerry caps and also ladies Irish hats

Today we are going to look at our top 5 Men's flat caps and how to style them:

Trinity Cap Blue Herringbone 

This Irish Flat Cap has long been our most popular color and we can see why. Featuring a stylish herringbone across the cap in a stunning shade of blue, this cap is sure to brighten up any outfit, whether is it formal attire such as a tweed waistcoat and cool grandfather shirt or a casual outfit such as jeans and a long sleeve shirt, this is your go to cap. Additionally, the Trinity Cap Blue Herringbone offers versatility that’s hard to match. Pair it with a tweed blazer for formal occasion, creating a refined look that's perfect for dinner dates or gatherings with friends. You can also easily transition this cap into your weekend wardrobe by coupling it with relaxed trousers or chinos and layering a fisherman sweater underneath.

To complete the ensemble, consider adding some Irish accessories. Our favourite scarves for men have to be John Hanlys soft Merino wool scarf selection, it goes absolutely perfect with a flat cap and they compliment each other really well.

Don’t shy away from contrasting colours, either. A crisp white grandfather shirt or a patterned shirt can provide a fresh visual contrast, making the blue stand out even more. The Trinity Cap is truly a masterpiece that will last a lifetime.

Top Tip: Fit is key here when choosing a Flat cap: make sure your cap fits snugly but it should not be uncomfortable on your head. We generally advise being able to place one finger into the side of the cap to make sure you have the right size. 

 Green Red Herringbone Cap 

This is a firm favourite of many of our customers. The beautiful shade of green is so stunning that you will never want to take it off. If you have more of a classic style, this will go well with your wardrobe. We have a stunning Olive tweed waistcoat that looks incredible with this green flat cap and gives a Peaky Blinder feel to your outfit. 

We also love this Irish cap matched with a lightweight sweater for an sophisticated, elegant look. It looks fabulous with solid colors such as our wool and cashmere lochlevin crew neck. The combination of the Green Red Herringbone Cap and a lightweight sweater creates a pleasing balance between textures and colors. The intricate herringbone pattern of the cap adds depth and visual interest, while the soft wool and cashmere blend of the Lochlevin crew neck ensures comfort and warmth without being overly heavy. This pairing is ideal for transitioning seasons, where style meets functionality.

Creating the Look

Choose Your Colors Wisely: Since the cap features a blend of green and red tones, consider choosing an Aran sweater in a neutral color palette such as natural, green, or slate. These colors not only complement the cap but also provide a neutral backdrop that allows the cap to stand out as the focal point of your outfit.

Layering for Style: To enhance your look, consider adding layers. A stylish men's cardigan can elevate your outfit and add an extra dimension.

Accessorize Thoughtfully: Accessories can make or break an outfit. Pair your ensemble with a classic pair of aran gloves or a simple aran scarf.

Trinity Flat Cap Black 

This classic flat cap is a must have for any man who loves to wear classic colors as it will go with anything in your wardrobe. It will make any outfit fresh and add a touch of class to literally anything that you wear. We love how it can be worn either for formal or casual occasions and it will always look fabulous. 

When it comes to styling the Trinity Flat Cap in black, the versatility of neutral tones offers endless possibilities. Wearing a white sweater, such as our classic aran sweater will add depth to your outfit.

For those cooler autumn days, layer the flat cap over a wool sweater or a cosy cardigan. Choose a sweater with a bit of color, such as a deep Claret or forest green. This creates a striking contrast against the black cap while keeping the overall vibe cohesive and sophisticated.

Accessorizing the Trinity Flat Cap Black

Accessorizing is key to refining your look. Here are some thoughtful ways to add flair to your outfit when wearing the Trinity Flat Cap Black:

Add a Cashmere scarf: Adding a luxurious cashmere scarf will not only keep you warm and cosy, but will completely elevate your style.

Pair with soft Lambswool gloves: Match your Trinity Flat Cap in Black with a neutral colour glove such as soft grey 

Wear with a grandfather shirt: For a Parisian style vibe, go for our black grandfather shirt and make a statement. If you prefer something a little more paired back, the striped shirt also look so fashionable too and is Peaky Blinder vibes.
