How to Wear Beanie Hats
A Beanie Hat is a fantastic head-hugging brimless cap made by triangular sections of cloth that are seamed together at the sides. This hat, once popular among young schoolboys, has evolved into a fashion must-have for males and females of all ages. Continue reading this article to learn various fashionable ways of wearing your very own beanie hat.
How-To
Depending upon the size and style of the beanie, one can either wear it loosely or closer to the head. Some beanies are purposefully oversized so that one is able to go for the loose, comfortable look by placing the beanie casually on top of the head. Oversized beanies look fantastic with longer hair, because the longer hair can be neatly tucked underneath the beanie. Other beanies are tight fitting and worn closer to the head. This closer-fitting type of beanie is great if you are trying to pull off a more edgy, chic look.
The beanie hat is terrific because it can be worn with long or short hair. If your hair is long enough, you should try fixing your hair in pigtails or a braid with thin pieces of stray hair surrounding your face. Then, place the beanie on top of your hairdo and you are ready to hit the town! A braid, or two, peeking out from under the beanie reveals a casual, yet stylish, persona. Another adorable look is a low ponytail shown underneath the beanie. These styles work especially well with bangs.
Which Way?
The great thing about the beanie hat is that it can be worn forwards, backwards, or tilted to one side. The forwards beanie is the most common way to wear the hat, so if you are a first-time beanie user, or nervous about pulling off the beanie look, you might want to start by wearing your beanie facing forward. However, wearing the beanie hat backwards has become increasingly more popular. The backwards beanie suggests a classy, yet rugged persona. Also commonly sported as of late is the beanie hat tilted to one side. This look is typical of both girls and boys. Additionally, some people enjoy folding the bottom of the beanie up, so that the hat appears smaller. The beanie hat is so versatile you can switch up your style mid-day - you will never be bored with a hat again!
Other Issues
A word of caution: many beanie-wearers have determined that if the beanie is pulled too far over the forehead, it gives off a “nerdy” look. Thus, we recommend that you make sure some of your hair can be seen underneath the beanie. However, if the beanie-over-the-forehead look works for you, by all means do not hesitate to try it out!
In conclusion, there are so many special ways to wear your beanie hat; you could probably find a new way to wear your beanie for every day of the year. First and foremost, you must remember that style is a personal decision. Find a look that suits you best and, most importantly, have fun with it!
