Hats have been around since the dawn of humanity. Hats have served many different purposes, from functional to stylish, and have been constructed from various materials.
The beanie, also called a stocking cap, tuque, touque, or toboggan, is a type of knit cap that is usually worn for warmth. It was originally made of wool and favored by outdoor workers such as hunters and fishermen.
A knit cap with a pom-pom on top is known as a bob cap, bobble cap, or bobble hat in Britain. The so-called "Geek-Chic" trend brought this hat from utilitarian obscurity to a fashion-forward item.

In some places, beanies are associated with high school and college football teams. A number of popular musicians also sport beanies, as well as influencers in the skater and BMX circles.
Not surprisingly, the hats are also popular among skiers and those who indulge in other cold-weather outdoor activities.
