In the early 2000s, Japanese brands such as BAPE and MMJ launched a series of rhinestone items, which frantically amassed the wallets of trendsetters. At the same time, flamboyant rhinestone and gemstone combinations by brands such as BB Simon and Ed Hardy across the ocean also gained the favor of a large number of rappers.

With the changing aesthetic preferences of consumers, rhinestone and gemstone designs have long faded from the scene, with only Kapital’s gemstone pants leaving a faint impression in recent years. However, since last summer, hats of rhinestone and gemstone designs have suddenly experienced a surge in popularity, and the long-dormant Y2K aesthetic has made a comeback.

The Boom of Rhinestone & Gemstone Hat Styles

In May of 2024, New York designer Yaito released a series of colorful rhinestone MLB baseball caps. The caps, covered in colorful rhinestones and handmade, were priced at as high as $1,175 but attracted media attention from fashion media such as Complex and Highsnobiety. The reviews from fans were mixed.

Subsequently, more “rhinestone baseball caps” began to quickly become popular, such as the pearl baseball cap from Paris design studio aguv4ro.studio, the turquoise baseball cap from streetwear brand Nothing Grows Overnight, the crystal baseball cap from Well Engineered, and the rhinestone baseball cap with an American cult style created by designer Bryan Sebastian, etc., almost playing with all kinds of fancy gemstones.

Trendsetter Bloody Osiris was seen wearing a camouflage gem hat made for her by custom designer SLUMS multiple times last year. The hat featured a 1-of-1 design and was adorned with a large metal badge featuring a combination of pearls and rhinestones. Bloody Osiris has also personally posted details of the hat on social media, showing how much she loves it.

This year, Bloody Osiris, American soccer player Stefon Diggs, and rappers Lil Yachty and Gunna, among others, have all been seen wearing rhinestone knit hats from the up-and-coming streetwear brand LifesABlur, which has also garnered considerable attention.

As a professional custom hat supplier, Aung Crown has also produced many gemstone-embellished hats this year according to customer requests. These hats feature floral designs created with a large number of rhinestones, delicate pearls, crystals, and other materials, and they have been very popular. Customers subsequently placed many additional orders.

Two Styles of Rhinestone Hats

Rhinestone hats come in two trendy styles: sporty for an active, casual look, and elegant socialite style for a chic, glamorous vibe.

Athletic style

This sporty hat custom made from Aung Crown is perfect for running. Paired with sportswear, it exudes youthful energy, while the rhinestone design will make you stand out from the crowd. The light reflected in the sunlight is sure to attract attention.

Socialite style

This type of hat is known as a “socialite hat.” Compared to sporty styles, this style is more suitable for various occasions such as dinners, parties, and events, giving people a noble and dignified temperament. It looks even better when paired with a formal dress!

For instance, a design like this—does it catch your heart?
