Winter is here, and that means I can wear my beanie collection! A beanie keeps me warm and keeps snow off my head, plus stops my hair from blowing into my face and glasses in snowy wind.

I have a surprising number of criteria for beanies. They must be a flattering color, chunky, and slouchy. They can't be itchy or heavy but need to still be warm. They have to fit without requiring readjustment and still have enough room to not cause horrible hat-head.

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. 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.

Any other beanie lovers here?
