Quick Answer

Style The Beanie from Kiss the Hippo Coffee by choosing a neutral or earthy color, wearing it with a slight cuff, and pairing it with a simple coat or hoodie for an effortless coffee shop look.

Why The Beanie Works for Coffee Shop Style

The Beanie is made from 100% recycled yarn with a warm waffle-knit texture, giving it a subtle visual interest that fits right into a cozy, artisanal coffee shop vibe. Its Fair Trade Certified construction means you're supporting ethical production while keeping your look grounded and intentional.

Because it's one size fits most, you don't need to worry about sizing—just focus on how you wear it. The stretchy recycled polyester holds its shape without feeling tight, so it's comfortable for all-day wear whether you're reading, working, or chatting over a pour-over.

How to Style The Beanie: Step by Step

  1. Choose Your Color: Pick a color that complements your outerwear. The Beanie comes in several shades—stick with neutrals like black, grey, or earth tones for maximum versatility. A darker beanie contrasts well with lighter coats, while a cream or tan beanie softens a dark jacket. Avoid a beanie that matches your coat exactly unless you're going for a monochrome look.
  2. Find the Right Cuff: Fold the brim once for a classic, snug fit that sits just above your ears. A single cuff keeps the beanie from slipping and frames your face cleanly. For a more relaxed look, wear it without a cuff, letting the fabric fall loosely. A too-tight cuff can create a bulky line; adjust so the fabric lies flat against your forehead.
  3. Position It on Your Head: Place the beanie so the bottom edge rests just above your eyebrows. Pull it down enough to cover your ears on cold days, or let it sit higher for a more casual, street-style vibe. The waffle-knit texture will stay put without constant adjustment. If the beanie slides up, you may have cuffed it too high or chosen a color that blends too closely with your hair.
  4. Layer with a Simple Top: Pair The Beanie with a plain tee or a lightweight sweater and a denim or chore jacket. The texture of the beanie adds interest without competing with prints or logos. Keep the rest of your outfit minimal so the beanie becomes the accent. Avoid heavy patterns or logos on your top—the beanie's waffle texture works best as the focal point.
  5. Finish with Practical Footwear: Complete the look with clean sneakers, boots, or slip-ons. Since the beanie and outerwear do the heavy lifting, keep shoes simple and functional. This keeps the outfit grounded in the casual, coffee shop aesthetic. Overly formal shoes (like dress loafers) can clash with the relaxed feel of a beanie and denim jacket.

  • The Beanie: Crafted in a warm waffle-knit with 100% recycled yarn, Fair Trade Certified, one size fits most. The waffle texture adds a subtle, non-bulky layer of style that pairs naturally with denim jackets, wool coats, or knit sweaters—perfect for a casual coffee shop outfit.
