Best Winter Hat/Beanie

Let me start by saying I’m NOT a hat person. Doesn’t mean I don’t try to be cute with it – but hats usually don’t work for me. Living in the Northeast, though, you don’t really have a choice when it comes to winter gear. The Colleen cashmere hat by Club Monaco is one of the only simple, chic options out there that work for girls like me who can’t pull off every trend.

You want your winter hat to be warm but not dopey looking, and you certainly don’t want to spend too much money on it because it will inevitably get lost. Maybe even more than once per season. There are some equally chic beanies out there but they can run you upwards of $250 which is unnecessary for this type of accessory, in my opinion.

The Colleen comes in 2 basic colors – black and gray – and is therefore easily matched with your favorite winter coats. Or all of them, really.
