Fashion & Style Guide: 6 Beanies Under $50

If it is below 50 degrees outside, you’ll find me bundled up. About the only thing I enjoy about winter is wearing cozy clothes. I don’t like not getting to go outside the with the kids without having the bundle up, looking out the windows and seeing leafless trees, and getting into a cold car. Enough said about that.

This year, because I guess we really do get smarter as we age, I am adding hats to my winter wardrobe. I suppose pulling my coat over my head and covering my ears with my hands isn’t the smartest way to not freeze. I saw a woman wearing a beanie yesterday at my daughter’s Thanksgiving Feast as school and thought about how cute.. and warm she looked. Maybe I ought to give that a try. Beanies are the ideal winter hat because they slide on, fit cozily, and there’s not so much of a risk of them being blown off by the wind. I also love how compact they are. I could easily put two or three beanies in the glove compartment of my car and never be without one!

Beanies come in a lot of styles. You could have one for each day of the week and every dress situation. A casual beanie, a dressy beanie, a fun beanie, a boring beanie.. I could go on and on.

A few things I have been looking for on my search for a few perfect beanies are neutral colors, a loose fit style (so I’m not left with a red line on my forehead when I take it off), and a tight-knit would be good so the cold air doesn’t seep in through the holes.
