Beanies – A seemingly endless trend

A beanie is a stylish and sporty knitted or jersey beanie, mostly made of cotton or acrylic fibers. Typically, beanies usually have neither a cuff nor a pompom and are either worn close-fitting or they hang loosely at the back of the head, fitting tightly only around the head and ears. This type of beanie is called a Long Beanie or also Oversize Beanie or Slouch Beanie. The beanie probably owes its name to the word "bean," which is a slang term for the head. While this beanie was initially known primarily in the snowboard and skateboard scene, it has since established itself in the streetwear sector as well. Beanies are particularly popular with teenagers and young adults, which is partly due to the different designs, where solid-colored timeless models alternate with trendy patterns. There are solid-colored, multi-colored, polka-dot, striped or otherwise patterned beanies. Reversible beanies are also particularly cool, where the inside and outside have two different patterns. Increasingly, you can also find beanies with large brand lettering, small sewn-on brand emblems or various slogans that make a statement.

Pompom Beanies – Still extremely popular

While the beanie is a more modern form of headwear, the pompom beanie is one of the true beanie classics, and it's still extremely popular today. Classically, the pompom beanie is knitted and decorated with a pompon at the top. This can be attached directly to the top or fastened with a small cord. The variety of styles is also enormous with these beanies. Looking at the knit pattern, you'll quickly notice that there are both chunky and fine-knit beanies. The overall fit of the pompom beanie also varies completely depending on the model. In addition to tight-fitting ones, there are also very loose-fitting ones, which are perfect for casual looks. In most cases, the typical pompom beanie features a cuff, which can be wider or narrower. Models without a cuff are rarer. There is a huge variety in the design of the beanies, so you can choose according to your personal preference to perfectly round off your look. Naturally, there are classic solid-colored beanies in subtle but also vibrant shades. You can also find multi-colored models with contrasts at CapUniverse, which stand out through stripes, squares or simply different wool colors. When it comes to materials, warming fabrics like virgin wool, merino wool or fleece are primarily used, keeping your head nice and warm in low temperatures.

Beanies for warm and cold days

Even though beanies are generally known as a winter accessory worn outdoors, there are now a variety of beanies that can be worn on warmer days or even indoors. Due to their material composition, pompom beanies are usually designed to keep the head warm, while also being a fashionable accessory. With beanies, on the other hand, there are also materials such as cotton used in production. This makes them particularly light, ensuring they look great even in warmer temperatures or as an indoor or office beanie. Explore our range at CapUniverse and pick out your new favorite beanie!
