Who were the Peaky Blinders?
In case you’re not already an avid fan of this hugely popular television drama, the Peaky Blinders were a Birmingham-based criminal youth gang in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Their name is said to come from the razor blades they sewed into their flat caps so they always had a weapon close at hand. At present, these caps or berets are now a trend (although obviously without their corresponding blade). However, the razor blade theory is subject to debate, as the first factory to produce replaceable razor blades in the UK did not open until a later date. Some believe the name instead actually refers to the iconic gang style. At the time, “peaky” referred to any flat cap with a peak, and “blinder” was often used in the area to describe someone’s stylish appearance. The gang was highly organized and gained power despite having fewer than 100 members by controlling gambling, theft, and smuggling, as well as influencing local politics.
In the Netflix series, the style of this band is perfectly recreated and as we can see, their caps play a leading role. If you want to wear one of those berets, you can easily buy it in countless brands and fashion stores, but will it fit you? We will analyze it below depending on the type of face.
Peaky Blinder style cap for a square face
@geekspic
If your face is square with very angular lines, just like the main protagonist of the series, Thomas Shelby, has, caps or berets are one of the best accessories you can wear since they will highlight your features much more, but Of course, like our main character, you must choose those caps that have a curved design and smooth lines.
@sinefesto
Perhaps the most classic beret of all is the one that fits you best, although yes, don’t do like Thomas Shelby and wear it up to your eyebrows. We know that he does it for a reason that goes with the drama of the character and because it somehow emphasizes his “evil”, but if you do it, you will only make your cheekbones stand out more and your face look even squarer. It is better to wear the cap well on the forehead line.
Peaky Blinder style cap for a diamond face
@geekspic
If your face is diamond-shaped, marked by a narrow forehead and a pointed chin, as is the case with the face of another of the characters in the series, John Shelby, it is better that you wear a cap that has something more of volume. The balloon-style ones will be your best option and also, it will also be a good idea to have something with a visor, to give your face more harmony.

On the other hand, it will also be good if you choose to wear it slightly to the side, so that it makes your face look slightly rounder.
Peaky Blinder style cap for a round face
@flat_cap_fellas
In the event that you have a face with round features, like the one Alfie Solomons has, you have to wear wide-brimmed hats like the ones this character wears in the series and in the event that you prefer berets and you do not want to give them up, then the solution will be to choose the ones that are higher and reveal your face, since if you wear a beret that is too low or too tight, you will only be able to further accentuate the roundness of your face as It happens in this photo to the actor Idris Elba who does not appear in Peaky Blinders, but has not been able to resist his trend. If I took it higher, it would look much better on her.

Peaky Blinder style cap for a long face
@flat_cap_fellas
In the event that you want to be able to wear a Peaky Blinder-style cap, but your face is very long, the best option of all is to choose the beret that has the most classic style and that, in this case, is also fit well up to the eyebrows so that all attention goes to your cap and also, you can cover your forehead. Also take a good look at the structure or consistency of the cap since if it is made of soft materials, it can cause it to “deflate” or stay on one side and then you would not be able to create the visual effect of an inverted triangle on your face. You have an example of this style in Ryan Gosling and how he looked in the movie El Diario de Noah.
Peaky Blinder style cap for an oval face
@sinefesto
In the event that you have an oval face, you may not have a problem for this type of beret to suit you. In fact, people with oval faces are lucky because almost all haircuts and all hats tend to look good on them. If you want an example, nothing like looking at David Beckham who has an oval face and who also usually wears Peaky Blinder-style berets, especially those with a slight visor.
