if the cap fits

This textured cap throws back to the roaring '20s. 

Here’s a fun fact: rubber swimming caps first appeared in the Roaring ’20s, when finger waves – wet-look curls set tightly against the scalp – became a fashionable hairdo. Ironically, contact with water would render the wavy coiffure ruined, so chic dames began to cover their heads with a sheath of latex while taking a dip. This textured cap from Fine Saratoga throws back to those heady days of yore, with a sweet detachable chin strap to boot. If you dig it, simply head to here with around $17, then dive into the closest pool.

This sweet head adornment comes straight from the pages of frankie 92. Pick up a copy at your closest stockist or subscribe from $10.50.
