Frequently Asked Questions About Toque Hat vs Beanie
What is a beanie hat?
A beanie hat is a close-fitting hat that is typically knitted and thin. It generally has a snug, form-fitting design. However, some beanies do have a slouch design.
Unlike traditional beanies that fit snugly around the head, slouch beanies have extra material that creates a slouch or drape at the back. Beanies may or may not have a folded cuff that can be adjusted to the wearer’s liking.
What is a toque hat?
A toque hat is also known as a knit cap. It is a type of hat that is similar to a beanie but often has a longer, slouchy design and thicker fabric. Toque hats have a close-fitting, round shape. They are commonly associated with cold, winter weather. Many toque hats also have a decorative pom pom on top.
What are the main differences between a toque hat vs beanie?
Toque hats and beanies have several distinct differences. Beanies tend to have a snug, form-fitting shape that hugs the head closely. While toques are generally looser and longer. The length of the toques allows the wearer to fold up the brim.
Beanies are typically shorter. Beanies are often associated with a casual, sporty look. Toques are more fashionable and are usually worn in extremely cold weather.
Are beanies called toque hats?
No, beanies are not typically called toque hats. However, you will find that the terms are sometimes used interchangeably. Beanies and toque hats are distinct styles with their own specific characteristics.
Why are there pom poms on toque hats?
Pom poms are often added to toque hats for decorative purposes. The pom poms add a playful or whimsical touch. Pom poms are also used to hide the seams on the top of the hat.
The pom pom itself is usually made of yarn and can come in a variety of sizes. While pom poms are not exclusive to toque hats, they are a feature that can help you distinguish between a toque hat vs beanie.
