In the men's beanie section, New Era dominates with its team beanies from America: Yankees, Dodgers, Red Sox, Chicago Bulls, New York Giants, in revers, with pom-poms or in marl knit. Kangol Service K and Furgora, merino beanies from Colorful Standard, and Dickies beanies round off the selection.

The beanie, from the stadium to the street

In the stands of American stadiums, the team-coloured beanie keeps supporters warm. It has made its way to the street, where it’s worn as a stylish accessory, with or without sports passion.

This section brings together these team beanies, more understated models, and fine wool beanies.

New Era, the team colours

Founded in 1920 in Buffalo, New York, New Era is known for its baseball caps. It features the team logos on its beanies: New York Yankees, Los Angeles Dodgers, Boston Red Sox for baseball, Chicago Bulls for basketball, New York Giants for American football.

The New Era styles

The Team Cuff and turn-up beanies double the knit over the ears. The League Essential Skull, with no turn-up, fits close to the head. The Marl Bobble adds a pom-pom and a flecked knit, while the Lightweight Cuff, thinner, is suitable for mid-season.

Kangol, the understated beanie

The English brand Kangol offers the Service K, a simple beanie emblazoned with its logo, the lightweight Acrylic Pull-on, and the Furgora Skull, which has a soft and fuzzy texture.

Colorful Standard and Dickies

The merino wool beanies from Colorful Standard, a Copenhagen brand, provide warmth and softness in bright colours. Dickies, an American workwear brand, produces sturdy beanies with a workwear spirit.

Turn-up, skull or pom-pom?

  • Turn-up: double thickness over the ears, the warmest option.
  • Skull: fitted to the head, with no folded brim.
  • Pom-pom: a retro touch for cold days.
  • Fine knit: for mid-season.

The beanie at work

On a construction site, in a warehouse, or for morning bike rides, a sturdy beanie like those from Dickies keeps you warm without being restrictive. Its thick knit withstands abrasion and frequent washing.

The colours of the beanie

Black, grey, and navy go with all jackets. An orange, yellow, or green beanie, inspired by workwear outfits, adds a bright touch to a dark parka and enhances visibility in the city.

The docker beanie

Worn short, pulled up above the ears, the turn-up beanie takes on the style of the docker beanie, inspired by port workers. A very contemporary way to wear it, paired with a work jacket and cargo trousers.

Wool or acrylic?

Acrylic, lightweight and easy to wash, keeps its bright colours well: it’s the material used for most team beanies. Merino, warmer and more breathable without itching, is perfect for long days outdoors.

Wearing a team beanie

A beanie from the Yankees or Bulls goes well with a hoodie, a parka, and sneakers. To avoid looking like you’re in fancy dress, keep the rest of your outfit simple and let the logo do the talking.

The supporter beanie at the stadium

On the sidelines or in the stands during winter, a thick turn-up beanie keeps you warm throughout the match. A pom-pom, like on the Marl Bobble, adds a retro touch that supporters love.

The beanie for everyday wear

A plain beanie, black, grey, or navy, matches all winter outfits, from a wool coat to a parka. It can easily be tucked into your pocket when you go indoors.

On the slopes

For skiing or hiking in winter, fine wool retains heat despite perspiration. A thick turn-up blocks the wind over the ears.

One size fits most

The knit stretches: most models come in a single size. Make sure it goes down to the lobes without compressing the forehead; a loose model leaves more volume at the back.

Caring for your beanie

Acrylic can go in the machine at 30 degrees on a delicate cycle. Wool prefers a cold hand wash and flat drying. Avoid the tumble dryer, which shrinks and felts the knit.
