I’m Sorry, But This 2021 Fashion Trend Reminds Me of Fall Out Boy

instyle– Personally, I’m a hat person. After spending so many years feeling shy about wearing colorful, statement-making, and floppy styles on my head, I’ve fully embraced the lifestyle — and my outfits have been better as a result. A beret manages to give even the simplest of basics a welcome boost, while large, wide-brim options make me feel glam during the summer months. However, there is one classic hat design that sometimes makes me wary: the newsboy cap, which has been popping up on celebrities like Taylor Swift, Halle Berry, and Katie Holmes.

It’s almost impossible for me to look at this style and not think “OK, channeling Fall Out Boy, I guess.”

Much like Ariana Grande’s high ponytail or Beyoncé’s bodysuits, newsboy caps were kind of a staple for members of this band back in the ’00s. I can still so clearly picture the lead singer, Patrick Stump, wearing this accessory with a T-shirt and a button-down vest, and I know Pete Wentz had a few in his wardrobe as well. But, like a handful of throwback trends, this one has also returned, and there are more modern ways to wear it that won’t make you look like you’re about to belt out a verse from “Sugar, We’re Goin’ Down.”

You Can Wear It Casually

Halle Berry skipped pants this time around, but still proved this hat pairs well with a loose graphic tee.
