Mea Culpa Beanie: How to Wear with Class & Style

Winter is that time of the year everyone finds warmth in the cold. From layering your outfit with coats and jackets to donning knee-high boots, mufflers, and hats, staying warm is the goal. But while feeling cozy is a priority, you shouldn’t compromise style. A great way to look chic while dressing up for cold weather is to don headwear like the Mea Culpa beanie.

This clothing brand known for producing striking athleisure and swimwear is a must-wear this season. Its beanies feature the brand name inscribed boldly in bright colors that make them worth their appeal. If you just got one or plan to for yourself, this article will show you how to wear your beanie to take in warmth and give off style at the same time.

A Sneak Peek into the Mea Culpa Brand

In Latin, ‘Mea Culpa’ means ‘my fault’ or ‘my mistake’. If you think the name ties into the brand ethos, you’re not wrong. According to Sam Hailu, Head of MC marketing, the name represents accountability and growth. In his words as shared with The Philadelphia Citizen:

“It means acknowledgment of one’s errors, so when you mess up, just own up to your mistakes, that’s all,”

This brand is one of the bubbling streetwear brands of today’s world. Founded in Philadelphia, the company focuses on creating eccentric wardrobe pieces that step up your everyday look. Ever since the brand launched its Fun Day beanies in early 2022, it’s been setting the pace like never before, collaborating with celebrities.

For instance, in 2023, American Television Personality, Lala Anthony, partnered with the brand on their captivating headwear. A portion of the proceeds of the collaboration goes to LaLa’s charity, Threesixty, which helps to provide resources for incarcerated individuals (between ages 18 to 21) to gain employment upon release. 

This initiative helped young incarcerated individuals get back on their feet and thrive. Most importantly, it proved a beanie—which many see as a fashion accessory— can serve as a good social cause too.

Mea Culpa has become the wave of contemporary streetwear lovers. As celebrities, influencers, and social media users continue to adopt the beanie into their everyday dress-up routine, its widespread acceptance remains indubitable.

If you just copped this beanie (or plan to), this is how to style them like (or even better than) Lala Anthony:

Go Casual

The Mea Culpa beanie complements any casual outfit. Whether it’s the classic jeans and tee, a pair of sweatpants and hoodie, denim jacket, bomber jacket, dresses, mini skirt, or any streetwear fit, you’ll look great once you don this hat.

Keep Things Monochrome

Confused about how to style your hat? How about you work with colors in the same shade? For instance, you can match your top and pants with your beanie. It helps create a monochromatic outfit that’s subtle yet loud.

Wintercore

Mea Culpa beanie outfits also include what you wear during winter. So, when next you don a sweater, coat, boots, fall dresses, etc., top things up by wearing this beanie.

Give Your Formal Pieces a Twist

Yes, you read that right. Your suits, chinos pants, midi dresses, etc., also pair well with this beanie. The accessory gives them a stylish leap only the bold in heart can take. If that’s you, give it a shot.

Consider Your Hairstyle

If your hair is long, wear it down when wearing your beanie. But if you have short hair, comb it backward before wearing your beanie. This will ensure your hair stays in place. And if your hair is curly, ensure the beanie is loose-fitting around your head.

Double-Cuff Your Mea Culpa Beanie

For more oomph, roll the cuff of your Mea Culpa beanie upward so it exposes some of your hair and adds more accents to your look.

Match Your Beanie with Your Outerwear

Mea Culpa beanies come in various colors, so you have no excuse not to try this tip. Pair your coat, jacket, or sweater with a matching MC beanie for a coordinated look. It elevates your outfit and adds cohesion.

Keep Things Muted so the Mea Culpa Beanie Shines

Since this headwear has bold inscribed letters and comes in bold colors, you may want to keep your clothes and other components of your outfit neutral so it shines. For instance, you can wear grey pants, a white tee, and a pink or green MC beanie. Or you can even wear an all-black/white or monotone ensemble. Anyone works.

Place the Beanie Over Your Ears

For a sleek look, cover your ears while wearing the beanie. Though it’ll hide your earrings, it frames your face better and keeps your hair off your face.

Mea Culpa Beanie Outfit Ideas are Endless

Writing has always been a part of me. From writing stories as a young child to studying Communication Arts in the university, it has always been more than a medium of expression to me.

And then one day, I found myself toeing the path of an entrepreneur and becoming a fashion enthusiast. This made me develop an interest in content marketing and copywriting which I've been chasing alongside my fashion career.

That aside, when I'm not sharing style articles, selling with stories, or creating fashion-forward pieces for Ria Kosher, you'll find me telling wild stories that always come with a twist.
