When is it appropriate to wear a beanie
How to Style a Beanie
[Music]
a friend now I love beanies I'm not
gonna lie these things are super awesome
all right and unlike baseball caps when
you wear a beanie you can actually up
your style game if it's styled correctly
you're wearing it the right way and it's
the right type baseball hats and
generally can't up your style game all
they're good at is hiding and disguising
the fact that you didn't feel like doing
your hair but sweet about beanies or
knit caps if you want to call them that
is not only do they hide the disheveled
mess underneath this but they also can
make you look so much cooler the type of
beanie that you need to be looking for
something like this that I have on right
now now what's interesting or unique
about it is it is sort of wider knits
okay and it's not multiple colors you
don't want something that looks like
you're gonna embroider your team's
hockey logo on all right you want
something that has a little bit wider
knits like I said and that is one solid
color and I really think you should
stick with black on this one who you
trying to get crazy with this say don't
you know a little this is not the right
way to wear a knit cap you don't want to
wear your hat looking like a Mexican
gangster now unless you are a Mexican
gangster which dude I don't if you are
what I don't know what to tell you there
are two right ways to wear a knit cap
well for me mostly there's just one and
let me show you how to do that it's
really straightforward very simple you
don't ever want to stick it on cover
your ears all the way wear it down over
here like this this is not the right way
to do it what you want to do is you want
to expose a little bit of your hair so
what you're gonna do is you're gonna
take the hat you're gonna slide it back
all right and then you want this front
part of your hair to sort of stick out
like this got it and then you want your
ears not to be covered all the way you
want to leave them open and kind of
exposed a little bit another tip if you
don't have very volumous hair something
you can do is when you pull it back
you're gonna pull back here but then
you're gonna slide it forward just a
little bit so there's a little bit of a
you know sort of a crease sort of a
wrinkle here with the hair it gives a
little bit of dimension to your hat and
it looks pretty good now your hat is
going to slide off every once in a while
throughout your day that's no big deal
just reboot it back on the same way I
showed you and slide it back go be a pro
putting it on
in no time flat now the other way to
where your being is something similar to
this okay you want your hair to be sort
of pulled down kind of going to the side
and this is more for like a grunge look
if your gonna want to wear your hat like
this you're gonna have to have an outfit
picked out ahead of time that really
fits that flow you got what I'm saying
so you want everything communicating the
same message like you know because
you've watched my style guide videos but
basically this look has definitely a lot
more of a grunge view honestly right now
I'm not even styling it correctly okay
so make sure you're thinking about that
when you're putting this type of style
this way of wearing your hair with your
hat together and finally how do we style
this thing right if you don't have the
right outfit on your hats gonna look out
of place you understand that everything
you wear from the top of your head to
the soles of your feet need to be
communicating the same message now what
does a beanie communicate in all
situations all the time it's
communicating casual okay so whatever
outfit you're wearing you got to make
sure it is super super casual it doesn't
make you look more sophisticated more
business casual it just helps you look
cooler so your outfit has to say the
same thing right now I'm wearing a white
t-shirt with a navy vest and solid black
denim jeans okay
this type of feel this type of flow that
I got going on right now is exactly what
I want to be doing when I'm wearing a
knit cap like this okay some other ways
when you're thinking super casual think
white t-shirt black jeans or take your
indigo blue jeans that you have and
throw on a black t-shirt okay just a
t-shirt some really simple pants and
your really simple super casual black
shoes a pair that I love to wear our
black high tops when I'm rocking
something like this alright
so I'm wearing black high tops black
jeans or my indigo blue jeans I'm
wearing a wider black t-shirt and that's
about it because the Hat adds so much
kind of flare I guess to your outfit you
don't need anything dynamic or
over-the-top with your outfit to be able
to say and I'm cool and I got this
figured out and the other thing I love
about beanies is when you do it it's
really simple to put together you don't
have to do your hair but when you're out
and about you look like you spent a lot
of time figuring out to be the coolest
dude
walking around all right so when you're
thinking about it and we are styling it
I think David Beckham casual all right
he wears beanies all the time because
he's able to style it pull off all also
having sweet sleeves helps you with this
type of look but you can do without it
another way to do it is black on black
don't be afraid of the black on black
okay maybe you want to mix it up with a
little bit of textures of what that
actual material is made out of that'll
kind of give it a more dynamic feel even
though it's all solid black
remember that super super super casual
sometimes I even put sweatpants on then
I pull up a little bit over my calves
that are sort of that knit material a
sweatpants on and I have a pair of sort
of athleisure type of shoes on and I got
a black or white t-shirt usually a white
t-shirt in that situation and my knit
cap on that's another cool way to do it
and it's more like this athleisure type
of feeling which is something I'll talk
about in another video at some point so
there you have it everything you need to
know about how to style it being the
right way all right
the type of hat that you need to get the
way to wear at the two right ways and
then how to actually incorporate it into
your actual style guys thank you so much
