At the Moschino men’s show in June, the models wore either golden crowns or bicycle caps. In a few looks, crowns were worn atop the caps.

The royal diadem and the bike cap (once the sad clown of head adornment and as attractive as a shower cap) were a jarring juxtaposition in a most unsubtle show. It illustrated how far the cap has come and was a personal gesture of the designer Jeremy Scott, who took his bow in one.

Mr. Scott has worn the caps for about 10 years. “I’m surprised this is the first time I’ve made them,” he said. “They’re gorgeous, and the small bill works with the proportion of my nose and the shadowing of my face.”

They are also aerodynamic and don’t fly off at high speeds, though that doesn’t concern Mr. Scott. “I SoulCycle,” he said. “So I bike in a very stationary manner.” Prices of the cotton Moschino caps start at $310.
