Beanies Are Great Headwear In Winter
Beanie hats were first popular in the 1920's among school aged boys. Their popularity slowed when baseball caps were introduced. But in today's time the beanie hat is back and gaining in popularity.
Beanie hats come in various designs and patterns. So no matter what your style there is a beanie hat to fit you. It can be easily worn under a helmet especially by cyclists and skateboarders during winter.
The beanie hat's origin dates back to the early 20th century slang term "bean" meaning head. Beanie hats were popular amongst school age boys from the 1920's to the 1940's. They fell out of popularity by the mid-1940 in favor of baseball cap styles. In the early 1990's, beanie hats became popular again due to the "grunge" clothing trend as well as the popularization of cold weather sports activities.
The original basic version of the beanie hat was done in knit fabric. Beanies are great for when extreme weather resistance and breathability are musts as it provides exceptional protection against the elements. They are also worn as a fashion accessory. There are many beanies available and are also now made in different materials. No matter what your reason for needing a beanie there is one on the market for you.
A larger variant of the skullcap, the beanie was a working hat associated with blue collar laborers, welders, mechanics, and other tradesmen who needed to keep their hair back but for whom a brim would be an unnecessary obstruction. Beanies do sometimes have a very small brim, less than an inch deep, around the brow front. The baseball cap evolved from this kind of beanie, with the addition of a brim to block the sun.
In the late 1940s, science fiction fanzine artist Ray Nelson (himself still in high school) adopted the use of the propeller beanie as emblematic shorthand for science fiction fandom, in self-mockery of the popular image of fans as childish and concerned with ephemera (i.e., science fiction); references to it are ironically now used to identify old-fashioned fans, as opposed to more modern fans of media SF. The propeller beanie increased in popular use through comics, and eventually made its way onto the character of Beanie Boy of "Beanie and Cecil." Today, computer savvy and other technically proficient people are sometimes pejoratively referred to as propeller heads thanks to the one-time popularity of the propeller beanie
In the early 1990s, the beanie saw a reemergence in popularity due to the "grunge" clothing trend as well as the popularization of snowboarding and other cold weather sports activities. The modern beanie is usually made of fleece, or special synthetic material that wicks moisture away.
Women look exceptionally good with all kinds of beanie hats no matter what color or design. It is because of the way their long hair falls on either side of the hat that gives it a sassy look. Also it is a great headgear to help you protect your hair from the blowing wind especially in moving vehicles. It helps keeping the hair in place for girls.
