Exalt the Beanie!



We are a generation obsessed with slouch. Be it the baggy-crotch phenomenon of our middle school days or the current harem pant hooplah, something about strangely placed excess fabric appeals time after time to the now 20something population. In theory the slouchy beanie is a rather odd duck. You may find yourself asking, "What's so attractive about the alien-head look anyway????" This is, of course a rookie question. The beanie bundle of sweatery nonchalance has the ability to take one from a 6 to an 8 on the all important attractiveness scale. Or a 1 to a 3 for that matter (...hey, anything helps!!!)

A beanie can detract from an otherwise questionable face. A beanie can temporarily cure male pattern baldness, cowlicks, and unwashed hair. A beanie can turn a hungover, lazy, beardtastic scruff situation into a styled look. A beanie could beat a baseball hat in a duel without even knowing it was competing.

Why, hello beanie-wearer. Your look may not be the most original of all, but that'll do. That'll do.
