How to Style a Beanie: Fall/Winter Edition

When temperatures drop, the right beanie does more than keep your head warm—it becomes part of your everyday rhythm. Whether you’re heading to work, hiking through town, or catching a show, a beanie brings comfort, character, and a touch of personal style.

Finding Your Beanie Style for the Season

At Fourbital Factory, we believe your beanie should do more than just cover your head—it should tell a story about who you are and where you’re from. Knit right here in Vermont, every one of our beanies is designed to stand up to cold mornings, mountain wind, and everything in between.

Here’s how to style your beanie this fall and winter, no matter your look or lifestyle.

1. The Everyday Classic: Cuffed Beanies

If you’re new to the beanie game, start with a classic cuffed beanie. It’s timeless, simple, and easy to wear with almost anything. The cuff adds structure while offering extra warmth around the ears, ideal for long commutes or outdoor weekends.

For a casual look, pair your cuffed beanie with a flannel or denim jacket. Roll the cuff once or twice, depending on how high you want it to sit. Keep it snug, but not tight - comfort is key.

Style tip: Neutral yarns like charcoal, navy, or heather grey match any outfit. Or, for a pop of personality, choose a bold custom color that contrasts your outerwear.

2. The Minimalist Statement: Fisherman Beanies

Shorter in length and often worn above the ears, the fisherman beanie has earned its place as a modern favorite. It’s utilitarian, clean, and effortlessly cool—a look inspired by coastal workwear and now adopted everywhere from city streets to mountain towns.

A fisherman beanie pairs perfectly with structured coats, wool overshirts, or a puffer vest. It adds character without overwhelming your look, especially when styled in rich fall colors like olive, rust, or oatmeal.

Style tip: Keep your hair loose or tucked back to highlight the cropped fit. If you’re layering up, the fisherman beanie balances heavier pieces like scarves or jackets.

3. The Cozy Essential: Pom Beanies

For days that call for warmth and a little personality, reach for a pom beanie. At Fourbital Factory, we love how the pom adds texture and a touch of fun—especially when designed in custom color blends or topped with a matching yarn pom.

Pom beanies are a favorite for ski resorts, outdoor events, and cold-weather festivals because they bring a playful energy while keeping you seriously warm. Wear one on the slopes or during weekend errands when you want to show a bit of spirit.

Style tip: Coordinate your pom color with one element of your outfit—a stripe on your jacket, a scarf, or even your boots—to make it look intentional.

4. The Standout Look: Jacquard Beanies

When you want to stand out, go for a jacquard beanie. Unlike embroidered or patch beanies, jacquard knit allows your logo, pattern, or text to be woven directly into the fabric. That means no peeling or fading—just clean, durable design that lasts season after season.

Jacquard beanies are perfect for teams, festivals, and brands that want a distinct identity. On the styling side, they pair best with minimalist outerwear so your design takes center stage.

Style tip: Choose contrasting yarn colors to make your logo or text pop. Think navy and cream, forest green and gold, or red and black for a bold, timeless combo.

5. How to Wear Your Beanie Right

There’s no single “correct” way to wear a beanie—it’s about what feels right to you. Still, a few small adjustments can make a big difference:

• Cuffed and snug – for a classic, everyday fit.

• Rolled high (above the ears) – for a fisherman-inspired, streetwear look.

• Loose and slouchy – for relaxed weekend vibes.

• Folded once – for a mix of structure and comfort.

The key is to wear it with intention. A well-fitted beanie shouldn’t feel like an afterthought—it should complete your look.

6. Built for Vermont, Made for Everywhere

Every Fourbital beanie starts and ends in Vermont—tested through real winters, early mornings, and endless snowfall. When we design, we think about durability, sustainability, and comfort that lasts years, not just seasons.

Whether you’re designing your own custom beanie or just looking for the perfect fit, our process keeps the same focus: made in Vermont, made to last.

So this fall and winter, wear your beanie the way it was meant to be worn—with pride, warmth, and a little bit of story.
