Upside Louisiana State University Tigers Faux Suede Hat in Purple, Men's at Urban Outfitters

Product Insights & Style Tips

The Upside Louisiana State University Tigers Faux Suede Hat serves up collegiate cool with a plush, tactile twist. Its rich purple hue throws it back to old-school varsity days while the faux suede finish gives the cap a sensuous, low-key luxe vibe—a subtle upgrade from traditional cotton twill. The softly structured crown and curved brim play into that effortless, worn-in attitude, complemented by classic Tigers branding front and center—just graphic enough to make a statement without shouting for attention.

This hat accommodates with a standard adjustable strap at the back, making it easy to tailor the fit and pile over everything from slicked-back hair to beachy waves. The mid-profile shape sits easy on the head, maintaining structure without ever feeling stiff. Roomy enough to throw on post-gym or pre-tailgate, it layers seamlessly under a hoodie or bomber for those transitional, layered looks, and its lightweight build makes year-round wear a breeze. On campus, at festivals, or just in the city, it rides that line between sporty utility and streetwear edge.

Team color hats are having a moment that goes beyond game day—think of how Rihanna or Tyler, the Creator tap vintage athletic pieces to anchor street-style looks. Upside’s spin draws on that energy, combining nostalgia with a textural update that feels right on time. Pair with laid-back separates or contrast with something ultra-feminine for a high-low twist that reads just left of classic.
