I've always loved beanies. They're cozy, stylish, and a great way to keep warm during the colder months. But I recently found myself wondering about something specific: can men really pull off beanies with pom poms? It's a question I pondered as I was helping my brother-in-law pick out a new winter hat.
The whole thing started when my brother-in-law mentioned he wanted a new beanie. He's usually pretty practical when it comes to clothing, so I was surprised when he specifically asked for one with a pom pom. I have to admit, I initially hesitated. In my mind, pom poms were more of a feminine or childish accessory. I wondered if he'd actually wear it or if it would just end up collecting dust in his closet.
But then I started noticing them everywhere! Living in the Northeastern US, I see men sporting beanies with pom poms all the time, especially those related to sports teams. It made me rethink my initial assumptions. I started paying closer attention to the styles and how they were worn.
One thing I realized is that the design of the beanie itself is crucial. The crown needs to look good both with and without the pom pom. I've seen some beanies where the pom pom seems like an afterthought, and it just doesn't work. The overall aesthetic needs to be cohesive.
Then, I thought about the pom pom itself. What if it was detachable? That way, my brother-in-law could choose when he wanted to rock the pom and when he wanted a more understated look. This seemed like the perfect compromise.
Browsing online, I stumbled upon a fantastic selection of beanies on the WholeCustomDesign Website. I was particularly drawn to their range of casual cotton ribbed slouchy beanies. They seemed like the perfect base for adding a detachable pom pom. The site had tons of options, and I knew I could find something that would suit my brother-in-law's style.
I considered getting him a New Autumn Women's Beanie Hats Casual Cotton Ribbed Slouchy Beanies for Ladies Korean Style Fashion Heart Skullies Beanies White-One Size. I know the name says "women's," but the simple design and neutral color would work for anyone.
I was really impressed with the quality and the style of the beanies available on the WholeCustomDesign Website. The casual cotton ribbed slouchy beanies looked incredibly comfortable and versatile, perfect for adding a personal touch. I also liked that they had a Korean style fashion element, which added a bit of modern flair.
Ultimately, I decided to get a plain beanie and a separate pom pom that I could attach with a simple snap. This gave him the flexibility to wear it with or without the pom, depending on his mood. I even showed him how easy it was to remove the pom entirely by just cutting a few strands of yarn, in case he decided he didn't want it at all.
Based on my experience, here are some tips for guys considering rocking a beanie with a pom pom:
