Knitted hats, with cuffs or pom-poms
The beanie keeps your head and ears warm: ribbed knit with a turn-up, short fisherman style, pompom model, non-itchy merino wool, faux fur for extra softness.
A merino wool beanie keeps you warm without making you sweat.
Which beanie to choose?
The turn-up beanie, made from ribbed knit, can be adjusted in height by folding the brim. The fisherman's beanie, which is short, stops above the ears for an urban style. The pompom beanie remains the classic choice for winter; the faux fur version is the softest.
Wool, merino or acrylic?
Wool keeps you warm and breathes. Merino wool, finer, doesn’t itch and regulates sweating, making it ideal for sports. Acrylic, lightweight and easy to maintain, is cheaper but provides less warmth at the same thickness.
How to wear a beanie?
Well-pulled down over the ears in very cold weather, or worn back to expose the forehead. A plain beanie goes with any coat; a colourful model or one with a pompom brightens up a dark outfit.
Beanie for men or women?
Most plain knit beanies are unisex. Models designed for women feature different finishes: pompom, double pompom, faux fur, sequins. Black, grey, and navy go with any coat.
Fisherman's beanie: how to wear it?
Short and fitted, the fisherman's beanie stops above the ears and is placed on the top of the head. It keeps you less warm than a longer beanie but gives a more urban look, with a work jacket, peacoat, or hoodie. In bitter cold, you can go back to a turn-up model, pulled down over the ears.
What size beanie?
Most knit beanies come in one size: the knit stretches and adapts. For a wider head or voluminous hair, opt for a looser or turn-up model. If too tight, a beanie leaves marks on the forehead; if too loose, it slips with the slightest movement.
How to wash a beanie?
By hand, in cold or lukewarm water, with wool detergent, without scrubbing. Let it dry flat on a towel: if hung, it distorts.
What other winter accessories?
For a dressier look, berets; for a casual style, faux fur bobs. Other winter accessories.

Frequently asked questions
How to avoid itching from the beanie?
Choose merino wool or a beanie lined with fleece. A lining keeps the direct contact of the wool off your forehead.
Can a beanie shrink in the wash?
Yes, wool felts in hot water and with friction. Wash in cold, by hand, and dry flat to prevent it from shrinking.
How to wear a beanie with long hair?
Hair down or in a low braid, with the beanie placed slightly back to avoid flattening them. A loose beanie has less impact on the hairstyle.
How to keep a pompom fluffy?
Shake it out after washing and let it dry in the air. A faux fur pompom should be brushed once dry.
What beanie for winter running?
A thin merino wool or technical material beanie that wicks away sweat. A chunky knit makes you sweat too much while exercising.
