The hat, or cap, is an accessory that divides opinion, but it is very present in the street style looks of foreign bloggers. Around here it is still a piece that is slowly conquering the looks of the day.
For those who live in colder places, it is practically an indispensable accessory in winter, as it helps to keep you warm and still gives a cool touch to the look.
But you can also wear the hat in warmer places, the tip is to bet on lighter materials, such as knitting, and get creative when putting together your look.
As the beanie is a more informal piece, it makes a difference in any outfit. You can use it to create a very relaxed look, or even to create a clean look with a more modern feel.
How to wear hats and caps
In order to have no doubts when assembling your look with the piece, we have prepared some tips in partnership with the style consultant Vivi Cardinali.
In stripped looks
The beanie is practically the key piece to leave any look with a more relaxed footprint, there’s no mistake. The consultant’s tip to get away from the ordinary is to bring a point of light to the production, with a colored cap, or the opposite, with the point of light on the clothes and the dark cap.
“If that’s too much for you, go back to your good old blue jeans and white T-shirt and choose a beanie in a neutral, close-to-the-hair color to get used to. If you are a brunette, black or brown beanie, if you are blonde or redhead, caramel or gray beanie”, advises Vivi.
with romantic pieces
It may seem difficult to combine the beanie with more romantic pieces, but it’s not. “Ruffles, full skirts and light fabrics convey romanticism and sweetness in the look and can certainly be mixed with a hat as well”, explains the consultant. But if you’re still in doubt, bet on beanies with less contrast between the colors of the look, Vivi’s tip.
in elegant compositions
As in romantic compositions, beanies also give a special touch to elegant looks. Pieces in neutral tones, such as black, gray and beige tones, are great choices, suggests the style consultant. Another suggestion is to bet on more classic pieces such as leather pants, blazers and more structured bags, as they bring the message of elegance to the look, completes Vivi.
With a more rock vibe
The beanie is practically an essential piece to compose looks with a more rock and grunge footprint. But it’s worth noting some tips from Vivi for you to rock the production even more: “in this case, there’s no escaping the combination of leather, studs and black, very black. Colors that contrast each other are welcome, such as the traditional mix of black and white or a red.” And of course, the final touch of the shirt tied around the waist cannot be missing, to reinforce the message in the look, adds the consultant.
in summer looks
Look for hats and bonnets that are made of a material that is lighter than wool, so everything is cooler and more comfortable. And of course, if you play with light looks, like dresses, shorts and t-shirts, Vivi advises.
