Can You Wear a Baseball Cap for a Job Interview?
A baseball cap at a job interview only works in very specific contexts — creative studios, startups with explicitly casual cultures, or roles where the cap signals relevant expertise. If you're pairing it with a Silk Blouse or Wrap Dress, you're walking a fine line between 'effortlessly polished' and 'didn't take this seriously,' so the rest of the outfit needs to be impeccable. In most traditional interview settings, skip the cap entirely.
