I am so excited about the return of beanie weather! It was unusually warm throughout almost all of December & the temps are just now cooling down. I know I'm going to regret saying this, but... finally! Bring on the hats, scarves & gloves! Not only is a beanie hat another way to accessorize in cold weather, but hats are the ultimate accessory for hiding a less-than-perfect hair day. Two thumbs up!
When it comes to beanie hats, there are 3 fun ways I like to use these accessories to spice up a winter look:
1. Matchy-Matchy: Like I did today, matching your beanie to your outfit is just another way to coordinate your look from head to toe ;). I prefer a matching look in neutral tones so no single piece outshines another.
2. Opposites Attract: I love dressing down a fancier outfit by adding a casual slouchy beanie. With a pair of boots & a hat, girly dresses look instantly cooler, or try out the juxtaposition of glam heels and a beanie.
3. Monochrome: If there is ever a time for an all-black look, it's the winter time. But no look is complete without a pop of color (at least in my book!); rather than a scarf or shoes, make your beanie your pop! Fire engine red, royal blue or even leopard with an all-black outfit is unexpected & fun.

Adorable beanie! I have one that I always feel to shy to wear. I feel weird in hats for some reason. You totally rock it! -- Amy @ http://thegiftedgabber.com
ReplyDeleteThey can definitely be statement making, but for a more subtle look try a neutral color like I did :)
DeleteI'm loving this winter look, so stylish and cozy! I'm also happy it's beanie weather, but I'm sure I won't be saying that for very long!
