There is a myriad of different hat styles for men, but none will keep your head warm like a beanie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Considering a beanies practicalities, we still see it as an afterthought in the fashion world come winter. Why? I guess we have celebrities and some fine examples of how not to style a beanie over the years to thank for that. Their insistence in trying to make it a fashion statement, as oppose to a stylish staple is where we went wrong. It shouldn't be worn bulky and hanging off the back of your head for one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The beanies redeeming features such as hiding messy hair and keeping your head warm are all finished with stylish aplomb. It is unassuming, going about its business neatly and functionally. This is how we should treat it. A practical foundation of our winter wardrobe year after year. Not a trend-focused piece that we discard come spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over time we have seen different and acceptable styles of beanies come onto the market. Which one you choose and how you style it, will ensure you find the right beanie that suits you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As we previously mentioned, not every beanie will flatter every face shape. With longer faces, you don't want to add too much height, with the opposite important for those with round or square faces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Longer face shapes should avoid anything like a bobble hat or beanies that sit too far on top of the head. This will add height and make your face look longer. We recommend choosing a close-fitted beanie that has a turn-up cuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Those with smaller shapes like round or square faces have room to add height. This is where a bobble style or a looser fit can be adapted to suit your face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This initially might seem like an odd conundrum, but the weight of hair we have under the beanie can alter the shape and fit of a beanie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Men with short hair should try a beanie that has a more streamlined and classic fit. Without a bulk of hair to fill the beanie short-haired men can often see bulkier styles lack structure and become flat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Those men who have curlier hair look great with bulkier beanies with less structure like a bobble hat. As your hair can sit over the ears and along the side of the face. A beanie that sits further up the head would also be a nice choice. We think that having curls hanging down from the beanie, rather than hidden gives a better overall appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If your hair is shoulder length or longer then try not to wear beanies that start to cover the face. Roll up the cuff of the hat so it sits slightly higher up. That way it allows your hair to fall and frame your face nicely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Keep your bonce warm by trying these favoured beanie styles. They will help to rid the world of bad fashion choices in the past while making you look effortlessly cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When thinking about materials we will always opt for wool, cashmere if your budget can stretch to it. Wool can give unrivalled warmth to the weather as well as giving the structure needed to make sure the beanie looks its best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
