If you want to be cool in Sweden one thing you can do that seems to be popular is to wear a designer baseball cap, preferably New York Yankees. But not a real Yankees hat, rather one that looks like it came out of a rap video. Take, for example, the above picture. If you took the colours from the hat on the right and inserted the logo from the middle one, you would have what a Yankees hat should look like. But that just wouldn’t be stylish now, would it? A cool hat can have either the teams logo OR colours, but never both. Bear in mind that by wearing a baseball cap you are in no way implying that you are a fan of that team, or that you know the first thing about baseball, which Swedes do not. The other day a friend of mine here was sporting a pea-green NY hat so I made a comment about the Yankees winning the World Series. He gave me a blank stare. No clue. The most popular caps here seem to be any variation of a Yankees hat, but for some reason L.A. Angels hats are also a hip alternative. I’m not sure why but what do I know? I only wear a Minnesota Twins cap with the real logo and correct colour scheme so I obviously don’t have my finger on the pulse of fashion. Take your coolness to the next level and sport your orange or camo Red Sox hat with a perfectly straight brim twisted to the side and the shiny size stickers still on it. Then combine that with your tight jeans tucked into your socks and pulled halfway up to show off your Björn Borgs.
