What Kind of Hats Can Kids Attending Rock Concerts Wear? 

I have seen children wear various types of hats in different programs and parties, some of which are appropriate to wear in concerts or musical functions. I have listed down the most suitable hats based on girls and boys that you can let your child wear by matching them with their outfits. Let’s check these out. 

Hats for Boy Babies 

Boys can wear caps like baseball caps, bowler hats, bucket hats, beanies, homburg hats, trilby and Fedora & many more. Here I have listed the most suited ones to wear for a rock concert. 

• Baseball Caps 

Baseball caps are one of the most worn hats across the world. These hats protect the eyes from the sun and assist in fulfilling the perfect fashion looks for different ages of boys. The rear is generally made of elastic, zipper, or plastic and it is adjustable; as a result, this cap offers a ‘one-size-fits-all’ solution to the user. 

• Bowler Hat or Derby Hat 

The bowler hat is a hard-felt hat. These hats are classy choices for children for attending any type of function, including rock concerts.  This hat is round, bowl-shaped crown and stiffer; not very weighty. 

• Bucket Hat or Fisherman Hat 

A bucket hat is generally deep and the brim is somewhat broad and positioned downward. The idea of this hat derives from the Irish farmers as they used these hats to protect from rain. 

• Trilby & Fedora  

Trilby and Fedora are both interchangeable as they look nearly similar. Where the trilby hat has a short brim, the fedora has a wide brim. Trilby is made of materials like tweed, cotton, wool, etc. Fedora hats are made of cashmere, wool, beaver felt, etc. You can let your child wear this type of hat on almost any fancy occasion including a rock concert. 

• Beanies  

Beanie is a cute type of hat you can use for baby boys. The brimless sides of this hat wrap the head so that the air can get inside. As a result, it keeps the head and ear warm, making it a suitable option for winter. 

• Homburg Hats 

Homburg hats are semi-formal hats. It is made of fur felt having a single dent on the center part of the top. This hat can be worn with any formal attire as well as informal outfits as well. 

• Boater Hats 

If the program your kids attend is outside and so you want your child to have an adventure feel, then go for boater hats. These hats are stylish looking and offer a cool look along with protection from the sun’s rays. 

• Ascot Caps or Coffey Caps  

Ascot caps might be a fashion for middle-aged men, however, it is popular among all aged boys as well. Made of wool or felt, these caps are a good wearable in the Winter and Fall seasons, as they offer comfort and warmth. Being of one single color, you can have your baby boy wear it with any casual clothing as well as formal clothing. 

• Berets 

This type of cap is made of wool, wool felt, acrylic fiber, or crocheted cotton. It is spherical, round and flat-crowned. Though in many countries, this hat is a symbol of the official dress code, apart from that, this hat has been used in traditional fashion culture. 

• Sun Hats or Floppy Hats 

If the program is being organized in a sunny area during summer, sun hats are the most appropriate option. The wide brim of this hat helps the face shade not only from the sun but also from UV radiation. 

• Newsboy Caps  

Looking for some casual wearing caps for your child to attend the rock concert party? Then check the Newsboy caps. The design of this cap is flat with a stiff peak in the front. It is round-shaped. 

• Cowboy Hats for Boys  

A cowboy hat is a tall and rounded crown hat with a wide brim that protects from the sun’s rays. It is made of fur-felt, straw, etc, sometimes attached with stampede strings. You can find these hats with color variations that are suitable for different attires for boys. 

• Sun Visor Caps 

This is an interesting option for children who don’t like wearing hats. A visor cap is a topless cap that shields the face from the sun. As the top of the hat is open, the head feels cold and comfortable in the open air. 

Hats for Girl Babies 

Like boys, girls have several options, from toddler to pre-teen age. They can wear baby bonnets, sun hats, cloche hats, half hats, and fascinators, or like boys, they can also wear beanies, baseball caps, boater hats, etc. Let’s explore baby girls’ hat choices. 

• Baby Bonnets 

If your girl child is a toddler, I recommend going for baby bonnets. There are exquisite types, colors, and variations of baby bonnets in the market; they are made of soft fabrics and offer gentle care to shield the baby’s head. 

• Baseball Caps 

If your baby girl is wearing a tee and pants or a girl shirt & skirt, a baseball cap can fill up the look. These types of caps are soft, round, adjustable, and can match almost any type of clothing. 

• Sun Hats 

My personal favorite is this one, though made of straw in general; it offers a look of playfulness, diversity, and freedom. It has a wide brim, and sometimes it has a ribbon or other decorative items attached. What’s fascinating is this hat suits girls and women of all ages. 

• Bucket Hats 

You guessed it right: this hat looks somewhat like a bucket. The idea for this hat came from Irish fishermen who used it, but nowadays, fashion-conscious girls are using it as part of their necessity and style. 

• Boater Hats 

Boater hats are one of those fashion accessories that offer an elegant look. This is a semi-formal hat, mainly used for boat traveling sea-beach tours, or any programs that are being arranged in the open area. 

• Beanies 

If you want your child to wear beanies, you can choose the unisex ones, or there are variations for girl beanies; some have pom-pom balls on the top, tarcels, or have ears like cute animals, etc. Made of wool or cotton commonly, this is a suitable option for your child to attend any functions. 

• Cloche Hats 

Cloche hats have the shape of a bell and offer a classic look. It is popular among ladies not only for shading their face from sun or cold but also as a good fit for fashion. 

• Half Hats 

If you want your baby girl to have a fashionable look, then different types of half-hats are the most suited option. Made of velvet, chiffon, silk, and satin, the look this hat offers is pretty luxurious. This hat is close-fitting and sits just above the ear. 

• Visor Hats 

A Visor hat is made of materials like cotton or straw and is useful for keeping the head open in the air. The wide brim protects the face from the sun, which is mostly effective for girls attending sports or crowded locations. Meanwhile, the open top allows air to flow on the head, and if your girl has long hair, you can put a ponytail over the top. So, you can let your baby girl wear this hat as well. 

• Berets 

Berets are more like a symbol of fashion that is used for keeping the head warm. Both boys and girls can wear it. And girls can wear it with almost any type of dress and look pretty stylish. 

• Fascinators 

These are an eye-catching type, more like head accessories, less like a hat; as it functions as an ornament. Young girls wear this for any formal events or religious events. You can have your little girl wear it with any type of dress she is wearing. 

Symbolism Behind Kid Rock’s Hats

Children are imitative; they follow what attracts them. You probably have noticed children wear different types of hats at parties, that have different symbolic meanings. Let’s get to know some of those hats.

What to Consider While Choosing Hats for Children? 

Children’s age, head measurement, hat types, fabric, season, color, patterns, price, etc, are the factors that I consider before choosing my child’s hats. 

Child’s age 

The first thing you need to consider is your child’s age. In the market, you will find hats of different sizes that are suitable based on age. You will also find hats that can be adjusted. 

Child’s Head Measurement 

If you are aware of the measure of your child’s head, you can find the right size of hat for him. Let’s say you are looking for a specific type of hat that fits with a wide range of clothing (for example, a base cap). Then, knowing your child’s head measurement will benefit you. 

Season & Time

Consider the season as a priority. Though hats are mostly used in summer to protect from the sun, wearing them for a long time isn’t good. Or if they insist, you may have to look for a light-fabric-made hat or the ones that are topless. If the season is cold, you need to cover your head with a warm fabric like a wool-made hat. Also, consider the time; if the program is being held in the daytime, you need to consider the sun’s rays; if it is nighttime, you may go for a different type of hat. 

Types of Hats 

I have mentioned different types of hats; that’s not the end, though. You will find more types by surfing online. So, let me ask you what you are going to buy. My suggestion is to buy the most common and usable one. For example, a baseball hat, a beanie, and a fedora hat are pretty common. You can also check what children around your child’s age are wearing and get an idea from there. 

Fabric Material 

Like clothes, hats are also made of different fabrics. However, clothing product manufacturers are really aware nowadays, and they make hats that are suitable for children’s skin. But even so, I ask you to be cautious while buying hats for your child. Because a hat covers the head, sometimes, it may create a rash or itching feeling for the babies. And you should take note of their comfortability. 

Color 

Though hat colors don’t matter that much, I recommend you focus on colors that match your child’s dress. A tiny change in your choice adds extra value to your look and boosts your little one’s confidence. 

Patterns 

Many hats are made with fabric with various patterns. Though they look exciting, you should think about it. If you are going to a swimming pool, a hat with a zigzag pattern is suitable; if your child is wearing a formal dress, then a single-colored hat might give off the right vibe. 

Price 

Lastly, the price of the hats should be one of the factors in your checklist. You will find hats at low prices and high prices. You need to pay heed to how much you are willing to pay for this certain piece of product.
