1. A Carhartt beanie you can throw on in a hurry to assure you still look casual and cute when your friends decide last minute (as per usual) TODAY is the day they want to indulge in some outdoor seasonal activities.
My husband loves his Carhartt beanie so much we got a matching one for our baby! So cute — and so warm.
Promising review: "WOW! I did NOT expect to like this item so much!! I have never been someone who could ever pull off a beanie, or so I thought ... until I found this hat! I hated all beanies of this style because of that 'alien head' look they give you, but this one DOESN'T! (since you can fold the hat to your desired thickness). I am buying one in every color!! If you're hesitant like I was — DON'T BE! This hat is so comfy this time of year!!" —Kelly Toledo

Promising review: "I have very big curly hair, so I could never find one of these that fit well — they just didn’t look right. I love this hat! It’s so easy to wear and it goes with everything. I just pull my big pony or bun through and it sits in the same spot the whole time!" —Kindle Customer

21. A beanie from the iconic Strand Book Store in New York City — Taylor Swift probably took one look at it and was inspired to write the lyrics "we never go out of style."
Myself and my fellow BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord both have this beanie and adore it. It's super warm (but not TOO warm), comes in a variety of stylish colors, and shows off to anyone who crosses your path that you're just a happy little bookworm!

Promising review: "You can stop your search because this is the perfect beanie! I have been searching for months for a black beanie that looks high quality and super stylish, and I finally found it! The fit is snug and doesn't give you a weird shape while you are wearing it. I bought beanies that were way too loose or tight and made it look like I had a weird shaped head but this one fits perfectly.
