Beanies – Sartorial Him

Beanies

There's a version of the beanie that makes you look like you're about to mug someone and there's a version that pulls an entire casual outfit together effortlessly and the difference is mostly about fit and fabric. We spent an embarrassingly long time on the wrong side of that divide wearing stretched out beanies that sat on our heads like sad deflated soufflés before we figured this out. The beanie is genuinely one of the most useful cold weather pieces in a man's wardrobe because it works across so many different situations. Commuting in November. A weekend walk somewhere grey and muddy. Hanging about at a market when you didn't dress quite warm enough. It adds something to a simple coat and jeans combination that makes the whole thing feel more considered rather than just cold and practical. We particularly love a chunky knit style in a neutral like charcoal or olive because it works with almost everything without making you look like you're trying particularly hard.
