How To Find Beanie Hats Style And Size
What Are Beanies?
First things first, you need to know what a beanie is. Also known as a beanie cap, these hats are all about warmth and comfort where it counts – up top! Beanies are usually made with a knitted fabric for a soft handfeel, and sometimes have brims, workwear deets.
Slouchy beanies are wardrobe essentials that’ll last a lifetime. They feature a long length, which can be converted to different slouches over the head, with some still hanging below the head.
The style has become one of the most modern and has been draped superbly by teenagers and famous personalities like Taylor Swift.
If you’re looking for an ingenious way of enhancing the chic of a slouchy beanie, wear round, big glasses with it. And even though it sounds odd, it will be as sassy.
Fisherman Beanie
This beanie may as well be the hipsters’ winter headgear of choice, but don’t let that discourage you. The fisherman beanie is the latest of all beanie types. It features a short hat that rests on top of your head without covering your ears.
Pair this beanie with a dressed tee or denim jacket for a very casual vibe. Ordinarily, the fisherman beanie looks great on a chiseled face because it is comfortably fitted on the head. But if you pair it with a groomed beard or structured jawline, that’s a solid 10!
The Bobble Hat
The bobble hat isn’t exactly the muscly decorative accessory, so it might surprise you to know that it has its origins in the military. The Scottish Highland troops used pom-poms to distinguish between companies, and today, it is still a fashionable wardrobe staple. Avoid festive patterns, neon colors, and designs with over one modestly-sized bobble.
Cuffless Beanies
Cuffless beanies are pretty popular. They are available in various colors and almost every fashion store. Also, they are called cuffless beanies since they don’t feature extended fabric at the lower brim. If you’re going to wear a cuffless beanie, don’t go beyond your forehead. They are the perfect headwear for moderately cold or hot weather.
Cuffed Beanies
As the name implies, cuffed beanies have cuffs around the edges, covering the ears and whole forehead in cold, freezing weather. Although you can leave some parts of your forehead uncovered, it will create a lump over your head that doesn’t look charming.
Cuffed beanies feature extra padding at the lowest part, which is folded. And they come in different materials, including polyester, cotton, or woolen. The beanie is versatile and has become an important winter attire and matches any outfit you wear.
Find Your Beanie Hat Size
1) Measure your head
Taking a measuring tape and placing it above the brow line, the head’s circumference can be determined. Wrapping the tape around the head by covering the cerebellum (the broadest part of the head) will establish the size of the head.
Noting the measurement both in inches (to the nearest eighth of an inch) and centimeters will prevent potential issues having to do with conversion rates between imperial and metric measurement systems.
2) Beanie Hat Size Chart
Different countries have their own sizing standards. When this is coupled with the imperial/metric differentials, finding the proper beanie dimensions can pose a challenge.
Products will generally have a sizing chart that reflects both declared sizes (small, medium, and large), as well as specific measurement standards.
Using the circumference determined in step one, the following size chart can be consulted to ensure a quality fit.
If a measuring tape cannot be located, a simple solution is to consult a site such as aungcrown. This program is designed to use the labeled size of a beanie known to fit, coupled with the country of manufacturing, to translate the size into a variety of international standards.
3) Stretchy vs oversized
The final factor in locating a properly fitting beanie hat is determining the product requirements themselves.
While a much-loved method of purchasing clothes is to default to one size larger than is needed, the looser fitting, oversized beanies can forego thermal benefits.
While all but guaranteed to not be too small, is too large of a beanie can have an impact of its own. The opposite method is to default to an elastic fabric that offers give based on the size.
Though this is a suitable option to provide an adequate fit for most sizes, excessive stretching can cause unnecessary wear and tear.
4) Proper maintenance of the beanie
Most, if not all, fashionistas have had the unpleasant experience of shrinking a much-loved item in the wash. More often than not, beanies will have instructions for proper maintenance.
This will work to prevent unfortunate shrinkage, resulting in a proper fit. Should the product not have this supplementary data, a good rule of thumb is to handwash and dry natural fabrics, whereas synthetic fibers tend to be more resilient to high-temperature drying. Any knit material is subject to dryer-induced shrinkage, with the looser woven fabrics being the most vulnerable.
Using these straightforward solutions, the journey to finding the ideal beanie hat is made simple and enjoyable, so that the focus can stay on style and personal expression.
