As a staple of most wardrobes, especially when the colder months roll around, beanies for men have always been a must-have. From hitting the pavement before work or laying back for a casual weekend – there’s plenty of good reasons to have one of these nifty accessories handy, and in 2019, that trend is only set to explode further.
So, how do you wear beanies in Australia?
How you choose to wear this headwear is all about your personal preference and individual style. If you are opting for a more casual and laid back vibe, keep it unfolded, and then slip the beanie on just behind your ears. If the street look is what you’re after, then fold up the brim a couple of times and rock a shorter alternative.
Keep in mind, that while beanies for men are a wardrobe staple, they can ruin that hair do you worked hard to achieve before you left your mirror, so if you plan on taking off your beanie indoors, slip into the bathroom and double check those locks, just in case.
These days, when you buy beanies online, it’s about more than just keeping warm. For some, it’s about making a fashion statement. Gone are the days where they are a winter-only accessory; the perfect design should be able to tie up your look, no matter the time of year.
Pro tip: In warmer months, replace your New Era beanie with a non-ribbed knit from our collection. To blend in under the scorching sun, stick to neutral colours. Keep it on the down-low, with evergreen shades and hues, mixed with earthy tones. These colours work all year round.
If you’re not sure where to start, we have a large range to choose from – including New Era AFL beanies and other alternatives.
