The cold-weather headwear landscape is a notoriously tricky area to traverse. Beanies for men are the only vaguely acceptable option and let’s face it, they’re hardly held in high regard by followers of fashion.

However, as is the case with so many things in the world of style – it’s not just a matter of what you wear, it’s also about how you wear it. And with that reasoning very much in mind, we’d like to take to the stand in defense of one of winter’s most misunderstood accessories.

  If you’ve ever uttered the words, “Hats just don’t suit me” it may be because you’ve simply been wearing the wrong ones. Beanies work well with menswear’s current love of utilitarian workwear, and there are several styles to match even the weirdest and lumpiest of face shapes. We’ll explain all about how to wear a beanie the right way shortly. 

In a hurry? Check out these beanies to look your best this winter.
