What height should a beanie hat be?

In the modern world, a headdress is not only protection from bad weather, but also a stylish accessory that can complement any look and add zest to it. Of all the variety of hats, beanies are the most popular. It is believed that its name comes from the English word bean, which means “bean”, “head”.

Indeed, a beanie is always an elongated hat, somewhat reminiscent of a bob in shape. It can be different in volume, texture and fabric, but it always does not fit tightly to the head and visually elongates the facial features. How far the hat will rise above the head is the choice of the individual.

What height should a beanie be?

Numerous options for beanie hats can be found in the store, or you can knit or sew them yourself. The height of the hat will depend on the circumference of your head, so use a measuring tape to measure the circumference and determine what kind of hat you need:

• 52–54 cm (European size XS). Beanie height is approximately 23 cm;
• 54–56 cm (S). Expect a height of 24–25 cm;
• 56–58 cm (M). The length of the cap is about 27 cm;
• 58–60 cm (L). Height 28–29 cm.
• More than 60 cm (XL). Product length from 30 cm.

The specified parameters are approximate and can be changed depending on desire. The height of the cap is individual and depends on the presence of a lapel, the method of wearing (for example, curved back), etc.

Difference in height between knitted and knitted hats

The beanie looks great both in chunky knit yarn and thick knitwear. The second option is usually more elastic, so it is easier to place such a hat with a hatchet. This option is also easier to fold due to the smooth texture of the fabric. To perform such manipulations, a knitted hat must be higher than a knitted one.

A hat made from thick yarn is already more voluminous in appearance, so you should not choose an excessively long model. A tall knitted hat will most likely not stand up due to its softness, so in this case it can only be worn lowered or bent back. In any case, when choosing, proceed only from your preferences.

How do women wear beanies?

There is no clear answer on how to wear a beanie correctly. The main rule is the compatibility of styles:

• For sports, a tall hat - a “hatchet” or with a pompom on the top - is perfect. It can be combined with a windbreaker, puffy jacket or sweatshirt;
• A large knit headdress looks appropriate with a coat, fur coat and high boots. In recent years, girls have been wearing coats with jeans and sneakers, then the look looks more casual. The height of the hat can be adjusted depending on desire, but it should not rise too high above the head;
• a high beanie can also be worn with a parka, leather jacket or bomber jacket in a casual style. It is important to complement the look with a warm scarf or snood. To add femininity, you can choose boots with low heels, a leather bag and let your curls out from under the cap;
• In warm autumn, beanies are combined not only with outerwear, but also with a voluminous sweater or jacket. You can play with the difference in textures: choose a high knitted beanie for a knitted sweater, and a low yarn hat for a formal jacket.
