The French-Girl Way to Incorporate a Baseball Cap Into Your Fall Wardrobe

If you had asked me a couple of years ago if I would have considered wearing a baseball cap on the regular—or at all for that matter—you would have gotten a hard "no" in response. Now, I wear one on just about every day of the week. With that new commitment in mind, I am constantly on the lookout for fresh outfit inspiration on how to wear a baseball cap in style. My personal aesthetic reads modern classic, so naturally, I turn to the chicest French women for guidance.
I set out to find out how the lovely ladies of Paris give baseball caps the well-admired and coveted French treatment for fall, and I was not disappointed. I came across nine incredibly chic outfit ideas that incorporate the timeless hat with some of the season's best pieces, spanning from denim and trousers to long coats and trendy sneakers.
