I am so jealous I do not get to wear all of them! Down here all you need is a jacket! I just love winters, but can't really enjoy them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beanie-love#post-1565078 Wed, 30 Sep 2015 04:13:40 +0000 Gigi 1565078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ack! Note to self: Must buy another beanie before winter!</p> <p>I like the types of beanies that Janet posted--slouchy but kind of beret like. They seem to work well for my hair, which is fine and wavy, in that they don't flatten it out so bad. Last year I wore a cashmere Charter Club beanie that I got at Macy's. I really loved it! It was lightweight and refined looking but was also very warm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beanie-love#post-1565069 Wed, 30 Sep 2015 03:44:10 +0000 Elly 1565069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a beanie lover! I love hats in general. I'm wondering how I'm going to get my cashmere fix in AZ? I have a small head and wear both types, slouchy and tight. I have more problems with hats with brims and head size than beanies, as they like to slip down and make my ears stick straight out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beanie-love#post-1564929 Tue, 29 Sep 2015 23:27:58 +0000 Deborah 1564929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Since cutting my hair short, I have embraced the beanie. &nbsp;Love them. &nbsp;Mine of the slouchy variety and in solid colours. &nbsp;Black, Navy, and deep purple. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beanie-love#post-1564921 Tue, 29 Sep 2015 23:08:17 +0000 AviaMariah 1564921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I ordered a cashmere one from Garnet Hill last year on your recommendation and I did enjoy it. &nbsp;I'll have to see if I wear it enough this year to warrant another purchase. &nbsp;(I also ordered bath towels from them and they are by far my favorite towels I have owned.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beanie-love#post-1564918 Tue, 29 Sep 2015 23:07:01 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1564918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I have a big head and hats of any sort just accentuate it. I hate wearing them. Unfortunately I need in winter because they make such a difference in staying warm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beanie-love#post-1564913 Tue, 29 Sep 2015 22:59:50 +0000 Aida 1564913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't wear that style of beanie, but I do love to wear slouchy chunky knit berets with wide openings that can just rest over/in between my curls. Although with my current hair style it's not looking like I'll be able to wear them very well, which I need to sort out before winter hits! I love seeing you in yours :} </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beanie-love#post-1564837 Tue, 29 Sep 2015 19:36:17 +0000 catgirl 1564837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Meredith, that is a great color range!&nbsp; I really need more volume on top for a beanie to be flattering, so I can't wear that type.&nbsp; I need a brim and crown! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beanie-love#post-1564823 Tue, 29 Sep 2015 18:49:16 +0000 Anonymous 1564823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Me. I love them . &nbsp;Aritizia has a wonderful selection &nbsp;meeting all of your (and my) criteria that both DD and I have in a few colours. &nbsp;They look better on me when my hair is longer, so not sure I'll be wearing one this winter, but I sure hope to!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beanie-love#post-1564793 Tue, 29 Sep 2015 17:54:36 +0000 Janet 1564793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a few but they're really more soft, slouchy berets than beanies. I have them in black, cream, blue, and grey. Beanies tend to be a little too flat on the top of my head, and they can be too long as well so they seem to be slipping off the back of my head. A soft beret has just a little bit of pouf or volume so it doesn't give me hat hair. I have a tiny little pinhead, so anything too tight or fitted on my head looks really weird. (I look like a freak in my running cap, but oh well, gotta have something to keep the layered hair back since a ponytail alone does not do it!) So far, I've found lightweight knits in cashmere to be the most comfortable and versatile for me.&nbsp; </p> <p></p> <p>ETA: This link has the style of two of my hats (not in this color though). The cream one has a not-too-chunky cable knit pattern. <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.overstock.com/Clothing-Shoes/Portolano-Womens-Cashmere-Beret/4694687/product.html">http://www.overstock.com/Cloth.....oduct.html</a>&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beanie-love#post-1564775 Tue, 29 Sep 2015 17:23:31 +0000 Meredith 1564775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, big fan.

I'm going to mark this page to come back to in November.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm looking for the loose, slouchy ones you wear, but mine could be pretty thin-fine knit.

They tend to be bigger. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beanie-love#post-1564737 Tue, 29 Sep 2015 15:38:37 +0000 K. Period. 1564737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Totally with you there! &nbsp;I love my beanies! Last year I bought a super luxe cashmere one from The Travelwrap Company to sample their cashmere (and help me decide whether to splurge on a wrap). This one, only in blue. &nbsp;I steamed it to give it the slouch I love and it is perfect. &nbsp;The most luxurious, cushy, soft, non-itchy cashmere I've ever seen outside of vintage. &nbsp;Hooray for beanies! &nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beanie-love#post-1564734 Tue, 29 Sep 2015 15:32:39 +0000 BethT 1564734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love a nice warm hat in the winter and love all the different styles I've seen here. &nbsp;</p> <p>I don't wear much make-up and I don't think I have very pretty/feminine facial features so when I do wear a hat, I think I kinda look like a boy. &nbsp;Oh well, I still wear them. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beanie-love#post-1564732 Tue, 29 Sep 2015 15:28:32 +0000 catgirl 1564732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diana, I love your second one!&nbsp; Funny, seems like both small and big heads prefer slouchy so far.&nbsp; This skull-cap type is the style I avoid:</p> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/burberry-cashmere-beanie/3856484?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&amp;contextualcategoryid=0&amp;fashionColor=&amp;resultback=4898" rel="nofollow"><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/burberry-cashmere-beanie/3856484?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&#038;a" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/bu.....ort&#038;a</a>...</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beanie-love#post-1564731 Tue, 29 Sep 2015 15:27:55 +0000 Alassë 1564731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a really nice cap, Word Lily!

There's that giant logo again! I think I bought last year's versions which are bigger. But anyway, these are made of the same heavenly fleece as the jackets ( which have two giant logos). Although I have knit us hats in the past and plan to knit some more this year, these particular hats are not to be believed in terms of softness. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beanie-love#post-1564728 Tue, 29 Sep 2015 15:24:21 +0000 Diana 1564728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like Hannah, I have a big collection of all sorts of hand knit hats. For beanies, I prefer them slouchy (a fitted one makes my big head look like a pumpkin). Here's a couple of random ones I had pics of on my phone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beanie-love#post-1564725 Tue, 29 Sep 2015 15:20:50 +0000 catgirl 1564725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Viva, I have the same problem - that's why the smaller, clingier beanies don't work for me.&nbsp; I just end up looking like a pinhead.&nbsp; The best is a wide border and chunky but not overly long crown.&nbsp; These ones at Nordie's are great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beanie-love#post-1564724 Tue, 29 Sep 2015 15:18:36 +0000 viva 1564724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am always on the lookout for a good beanie. Frankly I don't like to wear overly warm coats -- a good hat and scarf are much more central to feeling warm. My ears!!! It's a problem with short hair.</p> <p>My problem is that my head is very small. And some hats make my head look EVEN SMALLER. I think the chunky-ness factor is key. I may try the one you posted, Una. Looks perfect! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beanie-love#post-1564722 Tue, 29 Sep 2015 15:12:00 +0000 Word Lily 1564722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That actually doesn't sound like all that many criteria to me! </p> <p>I have a number of beanies (I'm a knitter, I live where we have winter, how can I not?), but this year I'm excited to break out my new hat with a brim, and another one that's more of a bucket shape. (I find my face too round for beanies to be flattering, although slouch definitely helps.) And having my hair longer now will help hats be more flattering, too. I don't like it when all my hair disappears under the hat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beanie-love#post-1564716 Tue, 29 Sep 2015 15:00:59 +0000 Sara L. 1564716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, I generally don't like the way I look in hats.&nbsp; I've never tried a beanie though.&nbsp; I wish I looked good in hats because I don't like to do my hair on the weekends and it's too short to stick in a ponytail.&nbsp; Hats would be a good solution. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beanie-love#post-1564714 Tue, 29 Sep 2015 14:57:48 +0000 catgirl 1564714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Winter is here, and that means I can wear my beanie collection!&nbsp;&nbsp;A beanie&nbsp;keeps me warm and keeps snow off my head, plus stops my hair from blowing into my face and glasses in snowy wind.&nbsp;</p> <p>I have a surprising number of criteria for beanies.&nbsp; They must be a flattering color, chunky, and slouchy.&nbsp; They can't be itchy or heavy but need to still be warm.&nbsp; They have to fit&nbsp;without requiring readjustment and still&nbsp;have enough room to not cause horrible hat-head.&nbsp; </p> <p>Up until now, I've loved the cashmere ones from Garnet Hill, but last year I got one from Nordstrom that I adore, and the price is reasonable.&nbsp; I am getting two more of them, as I wear these daily both for function and style. I actually wear them year round when weather permits - my haircut is actually designed by me to look reasonably good in a beanie.</p> <p>Any other beanie lovers here?</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/phase-3-chunky-rib-knit-beanie/4009895?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&amp;contextualcategoryid=2375500&amp;fashionColor=Burgundy+Stem&amp;resultback=0" rel="nofollow"><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/phase-3-chunky-rib-knit-beanie/4009895?origin=keywordsearch-personalized" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ph.....rsonalized</a>...</a></p>
