Beanie is a winter hat that can also be worn for a teenager's style. To change the beanie from a necessity to a modern fashion trend, you have to stick to the chic style. Wear a beanie as part of the style, not just to warm the head according to its original function.
Step
Part 1 of 3: Choosing a Beanie
Step 1. Consider choosing a natural color
Accessories with bright colors and rich motifs tend to make you look childish and make the appearance look less chic. It is recommended to wear black, white, gray, or brown because they are easier to mix and match. If you want to wear a colorful beanie, choose classic colors, like blue or red, and go for soft or plain colors without the element of neon.
Step 2. Do not decorate with excess accessories
Avoid accessories like pompoms, beads, or zippers. A simple knitted beanie already looks classic and trendy. If you use too many accessories, your beanie will look old-fashioned. If you like accessories, look for something as simple as a chocolate button embellishment.
Step 3. Choose a loose-fit style
A rubber beanie will tend to feel tight against your forehead. Besides being uncomfortable and leaving red marks on the skin, a beanie with tight rubber looks less stylish.
Part 2 of 3: Wearing a Beanie
Step 1. Wear a beanie over your forehead for a casual everyday look
The front of the beanie should slightly cover the eyebrows, and the edges should cover the ears. Don't wear the beanie by pulling it down. Instead, let the beanie look a little loose at the top and back. Hide your bangs in a beanie, especially if they're a little greasy or limp.
Step 2. Add a little crease at the back
To make it look unique, wear a beanie above the forehead and give a little crease at the back. This style is called “Peter Pan”. You should wear this beanie slightly higher without touching the neck. However, this beanie model only partially covers the ear. Whether your bangs are tucked into a beanie or left exposed, this style still looks great.
Step 3. Fold the beanie up for a comfortable look
Even if it's not a trendy look, fold the entire side of your beanie up once if you plan to go out in cold weather and for extended periods of time. The beanie will be pulled further down and feel snug against the head. As a result, the beanie returns to its original function, namely as a head warmer rather than as part of fashion. The beanie should cover the forehead, ears and neck. Wear this style with hidden bangs.
Step 4. Wear the beanie in an "off the head" style
Wear a beanie at the base of your bangs. This style can create a fashionable look. Choose white or light peach if you have dark hair, and choose a dark color for light hair.
Step 5. Comb the bangs sideways
If you want to look more stylish than usual, wear the beanie looser and more up, and let your bangs loose. Comb your bangs to the side for a sweeter look.
Step 6. Let your bangs unravel
If your bangs are short, you can leave them loose under your eyebrows. However, a beanie will make your bangs limp and straight. Thus, this style will not be suitable for those of you with long bangs because the bangs will cover your eyes. This style is more suitable for you who have long hair.
Step 7. Let your hair loose
When wearing a beanie the simplest hairstyle is to let it loose. Leaving the hair down prevents odd bulges from appearing inside the beanie, while also keeping the neck and ears warm in cold or windy weather.
Step 8. Put your hair in a low ponytail
You can braid your hair or let it loose. However, if you do decide to braid your hair, make sure you do it as low as possible or back to the side to prevent any lumps in the beanie from making you uncomfortable.
Part 3 of 3: Choosing a Matching Boss
Step 1. Align your beanie with the jacket
One way to keep your look chic and trendy is to choose a beanie that matches the color of your jacket. Even if the colors aren't exactly the same, you should look for colors that are close to each other. If you have a black wool coat, for example, try a dark gray beanie. For a white coat, choose a nude color, or tan.

Alternatively, you can use a beanie to add color. If you're going with just one color, a beanie can be used to add some splendor to your look. For example, if you're going out in a black jacket and boots, wear a red beanie to spice up your look.

Step 2. Try a leather jacket
Soft, durable leather provides an eye-catching contrast when paired with a soft, hand-knitted beanie. A tight beanie will reduce this contrast, but a thick knit yarn can emphasize the contrast. Black leather jackets tend to be more suitable than brown ones because they have a rustic feel. However, if you prefer a brown leather jacket, opt for dark brown or suede brown.
Step 3. Wear a thick sweater
Instead of mixing contrasting textures, wear your beanie with the same texture so that it looks uniform. Use your sweater as an outside by wearing a t-shirt inside a knit sweater. To maximize this look, opt for a beanie with a thick knitting yarn. The look of this sweater can be matched with a contrasting colored beanie, or you can use a similar color.
Step 4. Put on a pea coat
For a soft and feminine look, combine a beanie with a pea coat. Stay away from tight knit beanies, and opt for something that looks like it's handmade as it tends to look warmer and more feminine. You can make this look softer and sweeter by opting for a pea coat and white beanie. Your look will also be more chic and mature with a matching pea coat in dark gray or black and a beanie in a harmonious color.
Step 5. Pay attention to the size
When wearing a jacket or coat, choose a size that fits you to accentuate the loose, flaky nature of the beanie. However, if you prefer a sweater over a jacket, choose a size that is looser, because when you wear a sweater, you can combine it with other clothes. In essence, sweaters and jackets should not be too big.
Tips
- Provide hair serum or hairspray if your hair is dry. Dry hair will usually stand up when the beanie is removed. A good hairspray will take care of the most common hair problems, but if you have more unruly hair, you might want to opt for a hair serum.
- When planning to go outside in a beanie, try blow-drying your hair by turning your hair upside down. That way, your hair will be more fluffy, thus preventing the hair from becoming limp or greasy when wearing a beanie.
