WHY YOU LOOK BAD IN BEANIES

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 ต.ค. 2022
- Do you wish you could wear beanies but every single one you've tried ends up looking bad on you? Well, don't worry! You are not alone. Beanies are a really tricky thing to get right. Even when you know exactly what style suits you best, that still doesn't mean every hat in that style is going to look good on you. Anyway, in this video, I give you my tips when it comes to shopping for a beanie, and hopefully, by the end of the video, you'll know what to look out for.

Perhaps what is even worse is when the model clearly wasn't wearing a beanie & it's been photoshopped on 😂
Hey Harry! Love your videos, super great content and really enjoying your body language and humor! If I may comment on one thing, it would just be the intonation of your voice, sometimes the intonation is too repetitive and feels monotonous! Other than that, incredible stuff!
this is probably the most helpful fashion video I have ever seen
Finally a vide about this! I have been struggling for years to find a beanie that looks decent on me. And I frigging hate the fact most beanies online are listed without a model wearing it and if a model wears it then they angle is strange or smth else to make it impossible to know how it will look on me.
"RIB STITCH" ITS RIB STITCH KNITTING
Great analysis.
I just pull the beanie over my face and cut eye and mouth holes out. I don't always get positive reaction in banks or liquor stores but it works for me.
😂
and ruins my good alpaca yarn!
Hahaha
Don’t forget the holes in your nostrils
😂👌🏻👌🏻
As someone with a shaved head, the worst is wearing a beanie if you haven't shaved in a couple of days. The stubble creates a Velcro effect!
I used to wear an undercut and the velcro snag helped me wear my beanies looser without them falling off lol
This comment I felt lol especially with a bald fade it latches on
In the winter I don't shave my head against the grain. A smooth bald head works against you. After a minute the beanie is almost off my ears and resting on the top of my head because there's nothing to grip to keep it in place.
Keep it fresh and shave your head like you brush your teeth every morning, that’s how I do it for the last 10 years 👍
That's how Adibisi kept his hat on
As a knitter who has made many beanies, I have 2 contributions
1) the seamless construction, which is rare in 'commercial' beanies, but common in handknit ones, looks far neater and is more flattering (in my opinion)
2) I have made the same beanie pattern 4 times now in different yarns and they are VERY different. Yarn fibre, weight and construction all significantly affects how a beanie looks
Do you have a shop? I would love to browse your beanies 😌
@@rylevin3643 That's so kind. I don't sell them myself, but I use patterns by petite knit for all my beanies, and I'm sure there are people who knit those to sell😊
I like hearing about these details from people such as you, as I'm not very familiar with the inner workings of stuff we like.
“Looks far neater”! 🤣😂 Next time when you’re describing the beanies you make yourself, describe them as nice or cool. But, if you ever try to describe something to todays youth, I suggest you instead say “fire” or “sick”. Be like, “I make my own beanies, straight fire” or “I make some sick beanies”. Trust, they will know exactly what you’re talking about. I would pay to see their reaction!🤯😎 I’m just pulling your leg.🫶🏼 🤡🤣
@@h.d.5288 I think they mean neat as in smooth and well constructed since they were talking about how beanies without a seam look better
I'm starting to love this Why-you-look-bad series.😁
😂
im their number one customer
As a dude who has worn many beanies in my life, I never thought I would come across a video breaking them down haha
Great video!
I’m growing my hair out so I’ve been depending on hats in this awkward phase.
@Swatty because my hair is really poofy and frizzy. It needs to be pretty long before it can weigh itself down and I’m trying to grow it down to my shoulders.
@@Dimas5 just use oils and don’t towel dry or blow dry ur hair, just make sure ur hair is fully dry before going outside so if ur in a rush use a diffuser to blow dry
The video is completely pointless
Over the past year I’ve really dove into men’s fashion, and while it felt like I was in the dark, your videos helped tremendously and I feel infinitely more confident with how my personal style has developed. Thanks again, Harry!
“Look at these two without the cuff, you can see the sadness in their eyes”, that totally made me giggle. Thanks for the fun video.
Gotta say harry, these last few videos you seem so natural with the camera and it feels like a lot more of your humour is coming through, both in the script and the editing.
Your videos have always been great, but they seems to be getting even better - and I also love that you're one of the youtubers still giving genuine style advice, as opposed to just vlogging or talking about recent pickups (which is still fun content, but not always as useful as proper advice like what you do).
Really love seeing you come into your own as a channel!
Thank you so much mate. I honestly feel a lot more myself making these videos and I’m glad it’s coming across
@@HarryHas my wife and I are laughing too much watching this. I think I must've gotten recommended it and I saved it in my watch later playlist... didn't get around to it until now.
Came for the insightful part but ended up being hilarious for whatever reason. (Particularly the models... the round ones in particular)
Thanks for the tips, Harry! I had written off beanies years ago, but now I realize I just haven't understood all of the different variations. I'm definitely going to try on more bc I would dread walking past the perfect beanie for me without having even trying it..
By far your best video: funny as hell, concise and full of tips 🔥🔥
Ahh appreciate that mate. Really enjoying making them so that’s great to hear
Dude, I love your sense of humor in this video! This was both fun and informative to watch.
Finally a video that lays it all out! BEANIES MAKE NO SENSE! Half of us suffer through the winter not knowing up from down and whether or not she thought you looked like a fool at lunch. Lol!
Ive luckily found my perfect fishermans beanie and absolutely love it. Literally my most worn item out of everything i own😂😂. Hopefully lots of people find this video useful.
You are lucky. Where did you get it from?
@@HarryHas its the asos design mini fishermans beanie w a cable knit. Ive bought a 2nd one but it fits completely differently🤦♂️.
@@HarryHas take a look at finisterre
I just watched a 7.5 minute video about beanies when I have no intention of buying a beanie, and was still thoroughly entertained. Bravo sir
what made this video so useful was all of the photo examples you were able to find
Wild to me that people think this in depth about things like this, but to each their own! Cool video and I love my beanies. Cheers everyone
This video almost seemed personal, I was looking for a tutorial just like this the other day! Ty for putting this super informative video together!
Glad to hear mate
1x1 rib stitch. Adds elasticity and allows for a wider range of head sizes being accommodated by one product. The beige hat is knit in a finer yarn than the second one which means it's a bit thinner, sleeker looking, has more drape (not as stiff if a fabric) and doesn't add too much width when cuffed. The second one is just bulkier looking and because it's a thicker fabric it probably doesn't want to lay as nicely on the head.
Sherlock for beanies
Bro your style sense is really good , I never see any guy with real reason with good fashion sence ,you are the best
By far your best video: funny as hell, concise and full of tips
Harry, thank you SO much for this video! It’s finally cooling down where I live so I’m bringing out my beanies, and I‘ve been thinking this whole week that I need to look up the right way to wear a beanie and why I don’t feel right wearing certain ones. Kept forgetting/pushing it off until I opened up TH-cam today and saw this. You’re awesome man, thank you so much 🙏🏼 love your videos!
So pleased to hear mate. Thanks for watching
Hope i never spend a week thinking about how to wear a beanie lol
I get around this issue by literally making my own. Been burned too many times by badly fitting beanies, knitting is the way to go
Sounds good mate
@@HarryHas oh also the stitching that you referred to on the beanie you like is fisherman's rib, and the main difference between the black one and the cream one is the thickness/weight of the yarn used (from what I can tell). Dope video btw!
Knitting is also quite tricky because things might not come out the size you intended. But as a knitting enthusiast I support the idea 😀
Ayyy grandma
@Swatty or a man that just likes knitting
Not sure of the general consensus but I'm loving the camera transition when you're giving additional info. It makes the video more lively in my opinion than just talking at the same angle (that's not to say that's bad either).
solid vid, been watching lots of ur videos recently and the advice you give is extremely useful
I love the faces you make when wearing a beanie you don’t like that much. Very good 10/10.
Haha thanks mate
STILL on the hunt for a beanie that I feel suits me since I had my hair cut, or just headwear in general to be honest 😂!! This vid is definitely going to help though haha!!
It’s a very hard thing to find mate. Thanks for watching 👍🙏
My favourite one I found is made by this brand called coal. It’s the perfect thickness
My favorite is a Pacific Headwear Tweed Beanie :) (I think p600?) Super cool ribbed texture and medium-heavy weight
Great tips and so good to know that I am not alone!
Thanks for the analysis. I’ve been having the same struggle, stuck in my early 2000s style beanies trying to modernize to a newer look at is just as good.
4:56 As a knitter, I would call this a ribbed beanie (or maybe brioche beanie) with some crown shaping, I would also specify that it’s long because the shorter alternative is a fisherman’s hat
And I thought it was just me being fussy. You're absolutely right, when shopping online beanies are best shown on someone's head.
Neat that this video came up in my feed as I was just talking to the wife a few days ago about how I look terrible in beanies. Good to hear that maybe I just haven't found the right one. The search continues!
Just found your channel though this video and i LOVED it, especially while I’m in the process of customizing beanies with record store patches for a couples Christmas present
You’re definitely right about the difficulty of finding a beanie that fits and looks like you want. The beanie pattern in question is called ribbed knit or ribbed beanie I believe.
Love the new cut away style in your narration! Reminds me of fleabag and works really well
Pleased to hear. It was actually because I made a mistake in the delivery so it was a late decision to add it in. Glad it worked
Brother this is the video I didn’t know I needed. I have this problem all the time you should see the stack of beanies I have at home that just don’t feel right. Thank you for making this video
Tbh you pull all of these beanies off. Love ur sense of humor :-)
Where I live, Colorado USA, slouchy beanies are still common -- lots of mountaineers & hipsters here. Btw, my hair has thinned greatly, so while I once wore beanies only in winter for warmth, I now wear beanies, berets and fedoras year round. liked & subscribed!!!
@Swatty thanx, haven't lost THAT much on top -- I have a male pattern thinning characteristic of men in the eastern mediterranean area (Greece, Turkey, Balkans) -- proud of my lineage!
@@viewercjg so why wear headwear then? Own your genetics and look.
@@diogeneslantern18 thanx ... actually I switch back and forth between hats/caps and bare head as the mood and occasion/weather vary ... take care
Dude! Slouchy beanies are awesome ⭐️
Dang, didn't know I need this, but I did. Thanks yo
The comedic side angle haha I love it. Really digging these detailed videos! I'm glad someone addressed this beanie issue, not all beanies are equal!
Thanks for watching mate and glad you enjoyed it
I can relate and I'm a woman. Still hunting that perfect beanie that would look good on me. Nice video, makes me feel better that I am not the only one having issue with a beanie. 🤣
Same. They make my head look so tiny. Like a bald cap. I need a thicker one, which are apparently not trendy because most shops have the thinner ones only.
Same, thought it was just me 😄 I decided to go for a different style of hat in the end
I’ve found that the best beanies for my big head are the kind that are sort of like a hybrid between a slouchie beanie and a beret.
@@AngelaEAwesome I like thicker ones too! I learned how to crochet and made a chunky slouchy one and it's the only beanie I've ever had that looks good on me. Worth it!
That black beanie just needed to be rearranged a bit and it would look just as good as the beige one.
Oh my dayssss mate I saw some beanies for sale the other day with those types of photos pulled down over the head and I was absolutely speechless, such terrible marketing! You've smashed it again with this video though, so much key information!
Thank you very much dude. Was it colourful standard by any chance?
the stitch pattern looks like Fisherman’s rib stitch (which on a fisherman beanie is both cute and makes sense). this was nice and informative, I never thought about how if I place my beanies over or above my ears, it changes the look so much.
It's very subjective on the face shape and rest of the outfit and hair/ears. I only like a few bold ones with the cuff, but often prefer the thinner type materials as they look a bit smarter and less distracting. But yes its hard to find a good fit/color/fabric combo. I accidentally put my favourite wool one in the washing machine and it shrunked !
Several people suggest that the style of knit that you like is called "ribbed," but I think what you really like is the fact that the knitting is adjusted to wrap around the end of the segment of the beanie to be parallel to the seam. This makes the seam much neater and it will lie flatter than if the segments of the hat are simply sewn against each other, as in the case of the cheap beanie I'm wearing at the moment. This technique is called "fully fashioned," indicating that the segments are knit into their final form, not merely cut. You'll see it on the shoulders of sweaters, too, if they are well made.
What a wicked video!.I am obsessedwith knitting all sorts of beanies and u popped up in my feed....loved this!...excellent advice!.
I am so glad I discovered this channel.
Just tackled this problem last week.
Managed to find the perfect beanie, so bought the same in two more colours, which look bad.
Beanies are an enigma wrapped in a mockery.
This was very interesting. My hair is quite fluffy and curly and it makes it hard to find a beanie that looks good because I think it looks awkward where it smooshes my hair down and poofs back out. Looser fitting ones are better but still not perfect :/
Great video! I always had long hair and had the beanie science all figured out. I then shaved my head because of balding and now I've got to figure it all out again 🙃
The video i didnt think i needed to see. And felt i was the only one who went through the beanie dilemma. Lol thanks brotha. 👌🏽
Early club assemble.
🤟🙏
Your video fascinated me. Your perspective on how beanies fit will influence my knitting. I am @hatsbyjeanne and I've hand knit & donated hundreds beanies/toques/ hats for soldiers, sailors and veterans (through Warmth For Warriors, and Hats For Sailors). I typically knit hats 9" high and they can be pulled down snug and cover the ears (good under a helmet) or slightly higher, if preferred, for fashion. One thing you didn't mention was fiber. Choose natural fibers. I use 100% wool. It is washable, wears like iron, but is soft & squishy. Another thing you didn't mention was cost. One could save money by knitting their own beanies. A skein of wool is maybe $7 -$15 dollars, a set of 16" US circular needles is maybe $12. My fave beginner patterns are The Bankhead Hat and The Boyfriend Beanie.
this isn't a guide I thought I needed, but I was entranced the whole way through
Great vid man _!_
I love beanies and hats in general
I'm pale, skinny and short-haired.
After years of trying on beanies and looking like a chemo patient in them, I finally found a nice woolly one! It's huge (but not slouchy) and has this enormous pompom on top...like 80's style but in civilized colours 😅
Same!!
@@okaminess Yay 😄👍
yeah the pom pom is fun and ironic... like why not look like the kid from Home Alone..
Cuffless beanies look way better, and the slouchy ones that hang pointy off the back are modern day wizard hats (in a good way)
This was recommended to me because I've been searching for a good beanie! Wow
Literally such a well done video
i personally think the fisherman beanies look better on you than the one that you prefer, especially how that blue one fits (not a fan of the super bright color but rather how it fits)
Fun topic!
I have a beanie that creeps down to my eyes and makes me look like a gnome. I use it anyway, but I hate to see my reflection when I wear it.
(I might consider one with a cuff next time, though.)
This video is a must! I found a beanie at Goodwill that fits and feels perfect, but I can't identify the maker or exact style. Entertained and subscribed!
Dude u jus made my day. I have beanies and I look good with them but I wanted to change it up. Lifting changes my entire face
i have had 2 beanies i actually liked, the first was a purple one my grandmother got for me during her trip back home to the UK, it was stolen from me, i can understand why it was very beautiful, i had a friend steal a beanie for me a few years back when i was a little delinquent, and kept it up until recently when i tried it on, and it looks the same as my old purple one did on me, i think that beanies are hats that are meant for you to just sort of find, and gel with, and then live with, you dont ever acquire a beanie, it acquires you
solid advice😎👌
“You can see the sadness in their eyes” killed me! Nice video
This video came in clutch. Im heading to the UK soon so I'm looking for some to buy
Wish me luck, just bought a beanie online after searching for days. It'll be here in afew days and I'm excited. Thanks for the vid! I'm convinced if this beanie doesn't work out for me, no beanie for me 😢
turns out it's the best beanie I've ever owned in my life and it's amazing
The calmest fashion TH-camr I know.
🙏🙏🙏
Great video Harry. Can we get a "beanie" count on this video, I swear I heard the word "beanie" at least 100 times in this one 😂
I’m not gonna count haha. It is a video on beanies so the word is probably going to feature quite a bit 😂
I don't know why but certain parts of this video just crack me up!
I love the way you pronounce "beanie" and how often you say beanie in your video. Enjoyed it.
I'm probably in the minority here but the "look" that I prefer in a beanie (or any hat or cap) is functionality. The two functions of hats and caps are keeping the head warm and/or keeping the sun out of your eyes. If the environment doesn't warrant additional head warmth or sun shielding than I just go about my business sans head covering.
Canadian ushankas are the best option. Keeps your head really warm and if your ears are cold pull down the ears. And they have a cap at the front so it blocks the sun
Exactly, too many of these beanies and methods of wearing are done for “style” and not functionality and they end up looking awkward for that reason.
@@Photops ushanka is russian...
@@kevinclark9176 far too many men are too conscious about their balding, or whatever other ailment they may have and end up wearing baseball caps or whatever, like complete dorks. Going without headwear is the best
I love ending up on oddly specific fashion YT.
The only beinnies I have are ones I’ve made myself. I’m not one for fashion so I really enjoy the lil slack back and pompom. It isn’t particularly cold most of tHe time where I am so it is more of a “winter”look for me
I used to wear beanies more but when it comes to warmth and knowing it'll look okay no trouble- I just grab one of those hats with the flaps (I forget what they're called but lumberjacks and Russians stareotypically wear them)
the black looks good on you bro
Love your humour bro
My whole life I just assumed I can’t wear beanies because they’ve all looked weird. Different hairstyles and all. Heads too round, foreheads too big, ears too high, idk. But I recently put on a beanie to prove that point and it actually looked ok. The only beanie in the world that works for me and i found it in my late twenties! Still probably never going to wear it though
Ahh yes I've been becoming more self conscious about I look in a beanie and have refrained until I find the perfect fit. Even refraining from wearing a hat because I get more compliments from not using one but I still like them.
Thank you for this, Harry 👌
Alright mate just stumbled across your channel, your videos are decent and your style is up my street. I keep finding videos with mugs who look cringe as fuck advising me what to wear. I like the laid back approach too. Gonna set fire to my wardrobe later and buy some neutral colours. Cheers for the advice
Harry Has used to rock the Jesse Pinkman Beanie I’m dying 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I have a few beanies with no cuff and they look awesome. It depends on how the beanie is made and what kinda material they're made from.
I love the slouchy beanie look. I don’t care if its not trendy anymore either. They look good on everyone if done right
Yeah my boyfriend Jay does that look and I think he looks nice like that, I mean he looks nice anyway but something about the look is cute❤❤
Wanted this video since a long time thanks man
Hope you like it mate
I'm the opposite. I almost exclusively wear tighter beanies with no cuff. I have a small head and I'm bald. So a beanie with a cuff, even a small one, looks weird on me. The tight no cuff ones accentuate my face perfectly.
The problem? Finding one that fits right or finding a store that even sells them. Most are too long or have that sag, or they are for runners and have bright colors. I'v been wearing the same express one for 6 years and it just fell apart.
Wish me luck guys. I need to find one now before my head freezes.
I didn't cuff them in the military so I don't now I'm retired, it's just habit
Hugo Boss makes some nice ones that have a cuff and are not very thick and I usually get them from Macy’s. Perfect for those of us with shaved heads.
this is the thing i want. I always look bad in bunnies and i am sure this video is gonna helpful cuz most of my style is inspired by you Harry ♥️
Hope you like it mate
@@HarryHas i always like your videos 😁
Why are u trying to wear bunnies? Sick
@@morningstar7401 i have to wear them in winters 😕
I have never looked good in any kind or style of beanie. Once in a while i will but great video!
For us in Michigan, they were mostly just to keep warm in the winter for walks. I guess they are for fashion too but it got really cold!
So you're saying finding a beanie is like finding a woman, one day you'll find one that is just perfect for you but you have to go through all the bad ones first. And if the perfect beanie doesn't exist you get the best one that you found and kinda work it out.
I love beanies, their my go to hat. But once I started rocking my curls it was a challenge to fit the two together. Now that I have locs I find that beanies are a little tighter and i have to actually think about tightness, stretch, and slack. It's really made me think about how hard finding the right beanie can be lol. Currently I always stick with my Corpse beanie cuz it has the perfect amount of stretch and slack. As my hair gets longer and thicker all the others hats get looked at funny lol
Hairstyle and outfit Matters alot for me as well. When I have a streetstyle obersized outfit a longer beanie adds more height, since the baggy clothing makes me look smaller. For more clean tight clothing I add a more tight beanie.
Never realized I needed this video to exist. Thank you. lol
Have the one with the ball.I just removed it following your recommendation and it looks much more nice and masculine.Thank you👌
You saved my life bro, impressive beanie knowledge
i’m going to be /that/ guy and say i was just thinking about beanies this week and now you make a video hahahah. perfect timing :)
Randomly stumbled on this channel and the love the vibes of it. Subscribed.
Glad to hear. Thanks for the support
I've always had good luck with Vans beanies!
This is a great video, this is definitely something I struggle with the right fit, currently have one with a bobble on and never thought of that. I was looking online but I think that’s harder. As a man with a bald head and beard, I really want something that looks good but suits as well. I would usually go for a cuffed beanie, but like how they look with the height as well.
I've learned so much about beanies
I'm not lying when I say that this 100% will inform my beanie purchases from here on out.
