I've seen lot of people rocking this fashion trend this year and I decided to give you a few tips on how to wear a beanie.
01. Choosing the beanie
ϟ Consider a neutral color. Bright colors and prints tend to look a little juvenile and will make your style significantly less chic. Black, white, grey, brown, or tan works best, and neutral colors are more versatile overall. If you do want a color, opt for a classic color, like red or blue, and choose a gem tone or a bold color without gravitating toward neon shades.
ϟ Avoid styles with pompoms, beadwork, or zippers. A simple knit beanie looks classic and stylish, but styles with decorations or embellishments tend to look a little less sophisticated. If you do opt for embellishments, look for a subtle embellishment like decorative brown buttons.
ϟ Gravitate toward loose-fit styles. Beanies with elastic in them tend to tighten around your forehead. Aside from being uncomfortable and leaving a red line across your skin, a tight-fitting beanie tends to look a little less fashionable.
02. Wearing the beanie
ϟ Keep the beanie over your forehead for a casual, everyday look. The front of the beanie should be just a little over your eyebrows, and the sides should come down over your ears. Do not pull the beanie all the way down. Instead, leave it a little loose on top and in the back. Push your bangs beneath the hat, especially if they are a little greasy or flat.
ϟ Add a little twist in back. For a fun little twist on the everyday, wear the hat over your forehead but give it a slight fold in the back. This style, called the "Peter Pan," causes the beanie to sit a little higher on your head and keeps it off your neck. The hat will only cover part of your ears as a result, though. This style works well with both hidden bangs and revealed bangs.
ϟ Keep cozy by folding the beanie up. While not the most fashionable look, if you plan on being out in the cold for an extended period, fold the hat once around the entire opening. The beanie will be mostly pulled down and snug as a result, making this look more practical than fashionable, and it should cover your forehead, ears, and neck. Wear this style with your bangs hidden.
ϟ Wear it off the head style. Wear the beanie at the scalp line of the bangs. This will give a fun sophisticated look and it is stylish. Wear white or a lighter peach color with darker or half darker hair and darker or lighter dark with light hair.
ϟ Give your bangs a little sweep. If you want a look that seems a little more stylish than usual, wear your hat in a looser style further up on your head and leave your bangs out. Sweep them off the the side a bit for a playful twist.
ϟ Let your bangs hang out. If you have short enough bangs, you can let them hang straight down over your eyebrows. The beanie will flatten your bangs out, though, so this style tends not to work if you have longer bangs that would come down over your eyes. It also works best if you have long hair rather than short or medium hair.
ϟ Leave you hair down. The easiest thing to do to your hair when wearing your beanie is to simply leave it down. Leaving your hair down prevents any strange bulges from appearing underneath the fabric of your hat, and it also provides you with extra warmth on your neck and ears for the chilly autumn or winter winds.
ϟ Wear a low ponytail. You can either braid your hair or leave it straight, but if you do decide to wear your hair back, make sure that the ponytail sits low on your head or to the side to keep it from creating an uncomfortable bulge beneath your hat.
More tips:
ϟ Pack hair serum or hairspray if your hair is dry. People with dry hair tend to get static hair once they take their beanie off. A good hair spray will take care of basic problems, but if you have pickier tresses, you might want to opt for a hair serum, instead.
ϟ When you know you will be wearing your beanie out, try drying your hair upside down. Doing so will lift the roots, preventing them from getting too flat or greasy when you slip the hat over your head.
And that is it. Hope you like it and try some of these out.
