Beanies have been a staple part of our wardrobes since the early 1900s when it originated in the United States.

Since then, people have become quite creative in the different ways we can wear them. While initially a form of warmth in colder weather, people sometimes wear them purely for their stylish look and feel.

In this post, we uncovered the 8 different ways to wear a beanie that might actually surprise you!

Ultimately, the ways you can wear your beanie will depend on the "type" of beanie that you have, some of which include cuffed, woven, brimmed/visor, and slouch beanies.

For the most versatile wearing choices, we recommend opting for a slouchy beanie to get the most use (or "style," we should say) out of it.

#1: Standard Slouch

Perhaps one of the most common ways to wear a beanie, the slouch style combines cool "fashion" with warm "comfort."

The slouch beanie typically sits on the hairline and slouches at the back for a stylish, hipster look. These can be plain and basic or decorative - there are often many different styles to choose from!

And with the slouch look, it only takes several seconds to put it on and continue with your daily ventures.

#2: The Single Cuff

The Single Cuff is essentially how it sounds. You fold up the end of the beanie into a single cuff, making less of a slouch on the end, so it sits more firmly on your head.

This style is also great for when you need to keep warm because the fabric sits closer to your head, and, therefore, keeps you nice and snug. Plus, it looks super trendy and cool.

We sell a similar pre-made style for the single cuff on our website, with many different styles available to browse. These have been cuffed for you due to the embroidered design on each and are meant to be worn with a single cuff only.

#3: "Straight-Up"

This one may look odd to many, but it's also a fashion statement in a lot of people's opinions. For this style, you put the beanie "straight" on top of your head.

The end of the beanie should be sticking straight up in a quirky fashion. It's a look that definitely stands out, so if that's your style, then you will love this one. It's also called the "Gnome Beanie," just for reference.

#4: The Faux-Dora

Taking inspiration from the classic "Robin Hood" head accessory, the Faux-Dora style is actually much more simple to achieve than you might think.

To achieve this style, sit the beanie on your head casually, with it about mid-way down on your forehead. Then, choose either the left or right side of the beanie to work with.

Once you've chosen, simply take the side and pull/fold it up to finish. Now you give the illusion of a feather or robin-hood style accessory! Pretty cool, right? Plenty of guys are rocking this trend right now!

#5: Pom-Pom

While this isn't a particular way to style a beanie, it's definitely worth considering buying yourself a pom-pom beanie. Why? Well, for starters, they look darn cute!

But that's not all. Pom-pom beanies can actually be traced back a very long time ago with origins in Scandinavia. However, the reason why they became so great is because of sailors!

Sailors would wear pom-pom hats so that they wouldn't hit their heads. It added just a little extra protection - all from a simple pom-pom design.

Today, pom-pom beanies are famous for their cute, chic style. If you're searching for your next pom-pom beanie, a great place to start would be our Timondi classics.

#6: Tilted

There's one last beanie style trend we want to share with you that you may not have thought of, and that's the "tilted beanie."

You can buy beanies specifically made for this style, but you can definitely get away with it by using one of your own if you set it properly.

The idea is to set it on your head in a tilted fashion. This ups your beanie game 100% and sort of replicates a beret-style look.

#7: Beanie With Design

Instead of buying a plain beanie, why not consider buying one with a design on it? These are definitely up-to-date with the most recent fashion trends.

A beanie with a particular design speaks of your style even more - your personality, interests, and your passions.

You can start with our beanies, which offer you a range of different styled designs including our branded beanies and even one that says "Dog Mom" on it for those of you who adore dogs!

We embroidery our beanies with designs for a durable and stylish outcome.

#8: Be Creative

Now that you know the styles that are already invented, it's time to get creative and come up with your own, unique style! It is your beanie, after all.

Let your creativity run wild and create a style that feels right for you. Something bold and exciting, or casual and laid-back? It's entirely up to you - plus, who knows, you might just start a new fashion trend!
