Choose a simple beanie. Guys fashion tends toward a more subdued style. Sequins, bead work, and decorative stitching can be a bit too difficult for men to comfortably pull off. Knit patterns can work, but the color palate should relate inversely to the complexity of the pattern. The more intricate the pattern is the more subdued the colors should be.[3]Guys fashion tends toward a more subdued style.

Match the hat to your hair. Depending on the hairstyle you wear, certain beanie styles and [5]Depending on the hairstyle you wear, certain beanie styles and ways of wearing your beanie will be preferable. If your hair tends to be done up in the front, for example, let it peak out from the beanie.

Stick it on your head. Wearing the beanie with out rolling the edges is a trendy way to wear a beanie. Generally, when wearing a beanie this way you will pull it down to cover part or all of your forehead.

Try a single roll. This is a traditional style for wearing a beanie. Roll the brim once, making a cuff of two to three inches. This is a normal presentation for heavier knit beanies, but will also work with lighter beanies that fit loosely. This style reduces the overall size of the beanie, and typically allows some hair to be viable underneath the hat.

Attempt a double roll. This style thickens the cuff, and reveals more of your hair. You typically would wear the hat farther back on your head allowing your hair to be prominently displayed.

Try a hipster look by standing the beanie straight into the air. Men tend to have an easier time pulling this style off, and it can be quite dramatic. The bulk of the fabric will simply be standing on end atop your head. This is a rather fun and youthful look, so if you are aiming at serious or respectable then this look might be a step too far.

Try a larger beanie if your hair does not flatten well. If your hair is especially curly or has a lot of body, a beanie with extra material in the cap will allow you to tuck your hair in without leaving it flat and lifeless.

Ignore the rules! So, as with any fashion advice, the rules can easily be broken. Just be careful to keep your intentions in mind. If you are dressing for a job interview or a date being traditional is generally a virtue. (That, of course, depends on the date.)

Put on a hat or you’ll freeze to death. If you grew up like we Danes, that’s the first thing your mom said every winter before you left the house. Some went on to claim that you lose 80% of your body heat through your head. While mom’s science might have been off (you’ll only lose around 7-10%), you will feel cozier if your noggin is warm. And who wouldn’t want that?
From their historic connection to the Phrygian Cap worn by freed slaves in ancient Rome to the liberty caps painted in the US Capitol Building, the beanie is no stranger to the world or winter. And if you thought wearing a beanie high on the head or at a slight angle was a hipster invention. Nope. Thank the WWII veterans and their watch caps for the style trend.
Merino wool, cable knit, pom-poms, fisherman… That’s just the tip of the iceberg. And speaking of ice and freezing temperatures, there’s even such a thing as beanies designed for warmer weather. Mind-blowing, right? Read on for everything you didn’t know you needed to know about men’s beanies and how to find the one to tell your story.
