ONLY NY is a very successful New York City fashion label and its Fall 5-Panel Caps are now available on its online store.

The 5-Panel cap is a hat that has five separate patches all sewn together: one in the front, two on the sides and two on the top. This collection of caps comes in a wide array of [colored hats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sakura-pack) that showcase the “ONLY” text across the front, but this season’s caps also have a few [all-over print designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patch-cap) that are pretty funky. The most striking cap in ONLY NY’s collection has to be either the squid-patterned cap or the strawberry cap (for the bold cap wearer out there).

ONLY NY has its entire range of 5-Panel Caps available on its online store.
