Beanie Hats

History of the beanie hat

The beanie hat, also known as a knit cap or tuque, has been worn for centuries in various forms. Its exact origin is difficult to determine, as similar styles of head coverings have been found in different cultures throughout history. However, the modern beanie hat as we know it today, made from knitted fabric and typically worn snugly on the head, became popular in the early 20th century. It was commonly worn by labourers and athletes for warmth and practicality.

Slouch Beanie

The slouch beanie, characterized by its loose and relaxed fit, first gained popularity in the 1990s as a fashion trend. It became associated with the grunge and alternative music scenes, particularly in the United States. The slouch beanie offered a more casual and laid-back look compared to traditional fitted beanies. Since then, it has remained a popular style choice for individuals seeking a more relaxed and effortless aesthetic. Check out our selection of Men's and Women's Beanies.
