<p><strong>To Keep the Sticker… Or Not</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The eternal debate is whether to keep the sticker on the top of the brim or not. How will anyone know you have <strong><a href="https://www.hatclub.com/collections/las-vegas-raiders">New Era Raiders hats</a></strong> if the New Era sticker isn’t there? For many, the sticker is a point of pride, showing off a high-quality hat and proving it’s a New Era, one of the most popular hat brands. It’s a status symbol and badge of honor. If you are a collector, it’s like keeping a collectible in the box. There is a caveat, however: If the hat has a side patch and you intend to wear the hat often, you’re safe to remove the sticker.</p>

<p><strong>Flat Brim vs. Curved</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Another question is whether to keep the brim flat or curve it. A curved brim is classic, and you can find tools to help you properly curve it. It’s a more relaxed style. Meanwhile, a flat brim is popular in street culture, giving your hat an edgier, more modern look. There is plenty of room in fitted hat culture for both traditionalists and modern wearers, so this can come down to personal preference.</p>

<p><strong>Matching Your Fit</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong><a href="https://www.hatclub.com/collections/fitted">Fitted MLB caps</a></strong> pair well with a wide variety of outfits. The key is not to force it. Color-coordinate your fitted hats with your fit. Choose your sneakers or jersey, adhering to a color palette but avoiding uniformity in color across every piece. Otherwise, you’re just going overboard. Instead, work with your hat’s colorway, applying color theory, and avoid looking like you chose just one color. From streetwear looks to stadium styles, a fitted hat will elevate any outfit, but only if you match it well.</p>
