No matter how we want to walk with our heads open so as not to spoil our hair and show off our luxurious hair, the time of year comes when it is simply cold without a hat.
However, the modern fashion industry provides a huge selection of stylish products that will not only not spoil, but also make the image more saturated and interesting. A perfect example is the beanie hat.
What is a beanie hat?
Beanie is a hat with no ties in its style, but without any difficulties it rests on its head, hugging it. Most often they are quite free, because the trend is long models, but this does not mean that you can not find a hat that fits snugly on the crown. Bean has a modest design, and that’s all its charm. There is no need to monitor how the hat sits on the head, it will fit any bow in an awkward way, turning the inconspicuous into trendy, due to its simplicity and versatility.
These hats came straight from clothes for handymen, movers, mechanics, welders, that is, those who had to spend a lot of time outdoors, even in the cold season. Then this hat strengthened in the form of students, because it was convenient to sew on the emblems of universities and colleges. She gained fame in the 90s when she moved from a working form to the ranks of fashion paraphernalia.
Since then, the era of constant innovations introduced into design, material, color has begun for the beanie hat. Now this is not only a warm hat, but also an accessory worn by many women, including stars.
Fashion models
A beanie hat is any hat that does not have fasteners or ties. That is why their lineup is very diverse, because it is not limited to any conventions.
Beans can fit snugly to the head, but can be long and loose, the baggy part will hang on the back of the head. In addition, they are divided by seasonality. In winter, these are dense knitted hats, most often made of thick yarn, and in spring, lighter and thinner models. Due to the materials used and knitting technology, winter beanies are often voluminous.
There are some features in modeling simple-looking caps. To begin with, it can be diversified in a well-known way - a pompom on the top of the head. Soft balls can be made of yarn or fur, they give the appearance a bit of infantility.
Caps with a lapel are popular, which adds volume and looks very interesting with many winter looks. A kind of charm have models with ears. Most often these are just the corners of the cap itself sticking out on the top of the head, but sometimes these are sewn-in items that look exactly like the ears of cats, mice, bears.
Double beanie - a kind of trick. It is two-tone and can be turned out one of the colored sides. Thus, instead of one hat, two are obtained at once. Of course, so that the hat does not look ridiculous, its design is the simplest, but one of the sides can be decorated with a print or a special pattern, while the other remains monophonic.
Separately, it should be said about the two-color bean. Despite the fact that it, like the double one, uses several colors, nevertheless they are distributed on one side. The two-color hat does not have a duplicate inside out; it is the most ordinary. Colors are most often distributed like this - the crown of one color, and everything else is different. Sometimes the lapel differs in color.
Beanie hats rarely adorn. They are charming due to their simplicity and light sportiness. Only occasionally can you see patterns laid out by small rhinestones on them, sewn bows, embroidered logos or small catchy inscriptions.
Material
Beans can be sewn from knitwear or knitted from wool. In winter, thick yarn is a priority in order to warm and not let the wind pass, so caps from natural wool, mohair, angora, cashmere, and merino are common for this time of year.
Much less often and for an amateur - hats made of fur, for example, minks, and they use both whole skins and yarn.
Spring and summer hats should be light and thin on the contrary, so as not to cause overheating. For such beanies use cotton threads, bamboo yarn, water-repellent materials, fleece, thin knitwear (cotton or silk). To ensure greater blowing power, for summer products choose a wide and openwork ligature.
Patterns
In addition to the fact that there are prints and patterns (strips, patterns, peas) on the hats of a bean, knitted can be made in various technologies. Depending on the chosen pattern during knitting, a particular pattern appears on the cap.
They can be flat and smooth, openwork, across the entire canvas of the product or voluminous, convex, but at the same time alternating with other patterns. In the second case, one of these techniques is often used together with a knitted elastic band or rim to visually set accents.
Many beanas are characterized by a pearl pattern. This is a simple and proven method of knitting, its result looks like a pearl scattering, for which he received such a name. There are several types of this technique, large and small, but in general it is not voluminous, smooth in itself.
Among the voluminous leading position is a pattern with braids. It looks like the same name weave, and its voluminous texture gives the breadth to the product itself.
There are other popular technologies: a combination of horizontal strips of different sizes and colors, a tourniquet, diamond-shaped aranes, scarf knitting, English and patent patterns.
Color
Conventionally, the variety of bean colors can be divided into two categories. Universal, they are also the most popular, and more rarely used, but memorable.
The first includes gray, black and other basic colors, which combine literally with everything.The second category includes multi-colored and plain bright shades, for example, pink, red, blue, orange. They are a little more difficult to choose correctly for a particular bow, but they will definitely dilute any monochrome bow made in classic colors.
How to choose?
A beanie hat is definitely a headdress for everyone, but in order to look beautiful, and not ridiculous, it’s worth following some tips. Chubby can easily put on large large caps, as they will attract attention and smooth out the roundness of the form.
If the lower part of the face is massive, then it is worth putting on a hat with a lapel to balance the appearance. Long hats and caps with pompons visually lengthen the face if it seems small. For people with large and pronounced facial features, large-knit beanies are suitable, but with small and inexpressive, on the contrary, knitted, thin.
A knitted hat should not be pricked, as wearing it for a long time will be a real challenge. It should not be too big, because otherwise it will constantly fall down, but also too tight, because headaches can begin.
Bright hats with pompons, ears, unusual jewelry will suit young people to a greater extent, as they carry an infantile, frivolous character.
Caps of pastel shades and base colors are the most versatile. Bright ones undoubtedly attract attention and can become a real highlight of the image, but some of them, for example, vibrant colors, are more suitable for tracksuits. Plain products of a calm color palette are much easier to combine with a large number of images.
How and what to wear?
Thanks to the bean, some negligence appears in the image, which can be successfully used to create contrasting images. Outfits look spectacular, where a simple hat is combined with elegant clothes, depriving it of a touch of elitism and giving its own character.
Be sure to try on a bean with a dress or a flared skirt, a pencil skirt, strict trousers with arrows in combination with a shirt, pullover, sweater.
The hat can be worn by owners of both long and short hair. Those who have luxurious hair should dissolve them on their shoulders or on one side only, and put on a bean so that it covers her forehead. For those who have short hair, you can pull the hat on the back of the head so that the curls look out from under it.
But these are just recommendations and it is not necessary to follow them, because we are talking about a beanie hat that brings simplicity and freedom of choice. You can wear it by pulling it on your forehead, crown, nape, move it to the side, fold the baggy part into a tourniquet or, conversely, put it upside down.
Bean owners love to combine something that, it would seem, does not fit, but in the end it looks very original. For example, a hat with a chiffon or silk blouse, a classic wool coat, short shorts.
Large knit suits will be suitable for down jackets, parkas, leather jackets, and in the warmer times of the year - for cardigans, sweaters, loose tunics and flying shirts. Thin knit hats look good with sweatshirts, blazers, cardigans, tight jeans and trousers.
The hat goes well with a scarf, with a snood, and they can be of one tone, as well as another color and even texture. Of course, do not forget about gloves and mittens, because in winter without them anywhere, and if the knit is knitted, then it is better for them to be just that.
The images
A tall short black skirt combined with a short gray sweater tucked underneath is the trendy youth look for this season. High knee-high socks and flat shoes will add coquetry, and a beige beanie hat with a pompom and a brown bag will complete the look.
A warm dark gray sweater with black sweatpants is the perfect kit for a voluminous beanie hat matching the color of the sweater. The image will sparkle with new colors if you add a gray long coat and a black crossbody bag to a sporty style.
Bright beads are ideal for thinning everyday solid colors. Black blouse and jeans, black leather, and so that the red hat does not get out of the way, sneakers with red accents. Well, what kind of urban girl can do without large sunglasses?
