Take It From a Woman: I Am Once Again Asking You to Wear Your Baseball Cap Backwards

BY LOGAN MAHAN

Way back in the year 2021, TikTok was brazenly thirsting over men wearing their hats backwards. I reported on the viral trend then and agreed with those aroused users, as I still do now: the simple, unpretentious backwards cap is quite sexy.

To understand the modern allure of this laid-back (and arguably uncouth) style, you’ve got to go back to its origins. The backwards cap was first popularized by baseball catchers who flipped them around so the hat’s brim wouldn’t intrude on their protective masks. Then, ‘80s and ‘90s stars like Sylvester Stallone and Will Smith helped usher in its youthful, rebellious connotations.

The Best Time to Buy an EV? Right Now, Before Tariffs Bite.

It’s a tough time to be in the electric vehicle business. After years of bipartisan support under President Joe Biden for bolstering EV manufacturing in the U.S., including the batteries that power them, the current administration is attempting to reverse course on electrification (“attempting” being the key word there). While not much has changed yet, President Donald Trump has made it clear he wants to remove vehicle emissions restrictionsstop federal funding for charging stations and slash federal tax credits for EV buyers. And now that new U.S. tariffs are in place on imports from Canada, China and Mexico, EV prices for American buyers could jump as much as $12,000 for some models, per Bloomberg.

Oddly, all of that doom and gloom EV news has one major upside: right now is the best time ever for Americans to buy electric cars.

The Best Men’s Exfoliators Get Your Skin Spring-Ready

You already wash your face and (hopefully) moisturize, but exfoliation is an underrated essential step for keeping your skin smooth and refreshed. Unlike your everyday face wash, a good exfoliator — whether it uses tiny granules or gentle acids (keep reading, we’ll explain) — removes dead skin cells, unclogs pores and improves texture, leading to a clearer complexion. It also helps prevent breakouts, boosts circulation for a more vibrant tone and allows your other skincare products to absorb better and work more effectively. While exfoliating at least once a week is a solid habit, spring is a fitting time to start fresh, giving your mug a reset and sloughing off the winter buildup to reveal brighter, healthier skin.
