Beanie hats (from the English word bean – bob, colloquial “head”) rightfully occupy a well-deserved place in the wardrobes and hearts of fashionistas around the world. The concept of a beanie implies a rather ascetic design, the absence of any fasteners or ties. This makes it a versatile wardrobe item. In addition to its functional use, this fashion accessory can add the final accents and sometimes save even the most boring look. The combination of a beanie with sunglasses and strands of hair casually let out from under it has become a hallmark of the street-style of such stars as Rihanna, Cara Delevingne and Taylor Swift.
How to wear a women's beanie hat correctly

- By configuration - long and adjacent to the crown. The first type of headdress can hang freely or be placed at the back of the head, which will require the owner to have a certain set of styling skills.The cap adjacent to the top of the head has a more formal shape and is the preferred option for girls striving for minimalism.
- According to the tightness of fit to the head circumference – tight or loose fitting. In the first case, it is important to avoid too narrow models, the consequence of wearing which can be frequent headaches. If the fit is too loose, the headdress will constantly tend to slip off and get lost.
- By the presence of decorative elements – with a pompom, voluminous with a lapel, with a veil, decorated with rhinestones, bows or flowers, and also printed. In this case, we combine it with carefully selected monochromatic clothing elements. Hats with a veil should be worn if a girl is confident in her sense of style and is fluent in fashion trends.
- By material – from thin knitwear for warmer seasons, knitted, fur. Attention! A knitted hat should be made of a sufficiently soft material so as not to irritate the scalp, causing psychological and physical discomfort to its owner.

- Long hats and hats with a pompom give the effect of lengthening the face; girls with a triangular and elongated face shape should remember this.
