There’s a quiet power in being able to laugh at yourself—especially in a world that often pressures us to present as polished, aspirational, and endlessly composed. At Poppy Talls, we built our brand around the idea that not taking yourself too seriously isn’t just fun—it’s freeing. Our slogan baseball caps are embroidered with chaos, honesty, and humour for a reason: they make space for a different kind of self-expression. One that doesn’t require perfection, just personality.
Being fundamentally unserious doesn’t mean being careless or indifferent. It means choosing levity over shame, and connection over performance. When you wear a cap that says something like “Tummy ache survivor” or “Flop era survivor,” you’re doing more than getting a laugh—you’re taking something that might once have been hidden (or even a source of embarrassment) and turning it into a shared human moment. In doing so, you lift a weight off your own shoulders—and make it easier for others to do the same.
There’s a reason so many people resonate with “unserious” fashion: it’s not really about the clothes. It’s about the relief of not pretending. Our caps are, in a way, small acts of rebellion against the pressure to have it all together. They speak to a generation that’s tired of hiding their quirks, neuroses, or digestive issues behind curated perfection. And when we proudly wear those traits—whether funny, weird, or once shameful—we create space for empathy, vulnerability, and genuine connection.
So yes, we’re fundamentally unserious. We believe humour can be healing, that absurdity can be stylish, and that wearing your truth (stitched across your forehead) can be a surprisingly radical act. You don’t need to be perfectly put-together to be confident—you just need to be real.
And a really good cap helps, too.
