Quick answer
Style the Stay Curious Cuffed Beanie with a relaxed, layered look for warmth, and pair the Dad Hat with casual, unstructured outfits for a low-profile statement.
Why these hats work for everyday wear
Both the Cuffed Beanie and the Dad Hat are designed for comfort and versatility. The beanie's 100% Turbo Acrylic knit is soft and warm, while the Dad Hat's 100% chino cotton twill feels breathable and broken-in from day one. They're unisex and made to fit a range of head sizes, so they work for nearly any wardrobe.
Trade-off: fit vs. function
The beanie's 12-inch length gives you enough fabric to wear it cuffed or slouched, but if you have a smaller head, it may feel loose without a fold. The Dad Hat's adjustable strap with antique buckle lets you fine-tune the fit, but the unstructured, low-profile crown sits closer to the head than a structured cap—great for a laid-back look, but not ideal if you prefer a tall, stiff silhouette.
How to style the Stay Curious Cuffed Beanie and Dad Hat
- Choose your fit for the beanie: Fold the cuff once for a snug, classic look that sits above the ears. For a relaxed vibe, wear it slouched with the cuff unfolded—this adds about an inch of extra fabric and a more laid-back silhouette. Common mistake: folding the cuff too high makes the hat sit too far back on the head, exposing the forehead and looking unbalanced.
- Pair the beanie with layers: Match the beanie with a denim jacket, flannel, or a simple crewneck sweater. The neutral black color of the beanie complements most outerwear, so keep the rest of your outfit simple to let the 'Stay Curious' message stand out. Common mistake: wearing a busy patterned scarf or hoodie with the beanie can clash visually—stick to solids or minimal prints.
- Adjust the Dad Hat for your head shape: Use the antique buckle strap to tighten or loosen the fit. The unstructured crown sits lower than a baseball cap, so position it so the brim curves naturally around your face. Tilt it slightly to one side for a more casual angle. Common mistake: wearing the Dad Hat too far back on the crown makes it look like it doesn't fit—center it above the hairline.
- Style the Dad Hat with casual outfits: The 100% chino cotton twill and low profile pair best with t-shirts, henleys, or lightweight button-downs. Avoid formal or tailored clothing—the hat's unstructured shape works best with relaxed, everyday looks. Common mistake: pairing the Dad Hat with a suit or blazer creates a style clash; keep it with jeans, chinos, or shorts.
- Care for both hats to keep them looking new: Hand wash the beanie in cold water with mild detergent and lay flat to dry—machine washing can shrink the acrylic. For the Dad Hat, spot clean with a damp cloth and air dry; the cotton twill may fade if machine washed repeatedly. Common mistake: tossing either hat in the dryer can cause shrinkage or misshaping—always air dry.
