Who Are We?
My name is Angela, and this is my dog, Brownie — my loyal companion and unofficial brand muse. I’ve always had a loving obsession with hats, especially the timeless classic dad hat — the kind that speaks volumes through its simplicity, elegant fonts, and powerful messages.
As a child, I spent a great deal of time in and out of hospitals. Due to long-term steroid use, my weight fluctuated dramatically throughout my teen years. Clothing often felt temporary or ill-fitting, but hats became my constant — a reliable way to express who I was and how I felt, regardless of my size. They became my signature, my comfort, and my quiet form of self-expression.
Even today, I continue to collect hats in a range of colors, fabrics, and fonts — each one representing a different chapter of my life. That deep, lifelong love inspired me to create my own collection of classic dad hats, designed for women who embrace softness, luxury, and intention. Each piece carries a message — not just a word or phrase, but a reflection of a belief, a value, a lifestyle.
I believe life should be filled with love, family, travel, meaningful work, and abundant rest. I believe women deserve to be valued, protected, and held to high standards — not because we demand it, but because we embody it. We are the epitome of grace, elegance, nurturing, and leadership. We are the reason life continues — and we deserve to enjoy the beauty of softer living.
Soft Life Headwear is more than a brand; it’s a love letter to every woman who chooses elegance over exhaustion, presence over pressure, and luxury in the simplicity of her everyday moments.
And it is in this spirit of devotion to the feminine that I present to you a collection of wearable affirmations — each piece a gentle reminder of grace, resilience, and the beauty of living softly. Designed to nourish the mind and soothe the soul, these creations are more than accessories; they are statements of identity and intention.
May each cap inspire you to move through the world with ease, elegance, and warmth — embodying the essence of the Soft Life in every season of your becoming.
With Luxury and Light,
Angela L. Montanez
Founder, Soft Life Headwear
