Once the temperature starts to dip from “brisk” to “freezer-esque,” headwear is a necessity. And while any knit cap will do the job, we prefer to use the chilly weather as an excuse to reach for a cute, stylish or playful hat. Here, ten beanies you’ll actually look forward to wearing.

Shopbop

Acne Studios Multi Stripe Face Hat

You’re an adult—which means you don’t need anyone’s permission to wear rainbow stripes, tassels and a pom-pom.

Buy it ($160)

Nordstrom

Kate Spade Solid Bow Reversible Beanie

Rather not stray from your neutrals comfort zone? Upgrade your basic beanie with a touch of old-school glam.

Buy it ($48)

Anthropologie

Anthropologie Pick-a-pom Ribbed Beanie Base + Topper

Well, this is adorable: Choose a beanie, then customize it with one of the many snap-on pom-poms, ranging from plush faux fur to multicolored yarn. (Better yet, buy a handful—they’re just $8 each.)

Buy it ($30)

urban outfitters

Coal The Standard Beanie

Our favorite summer trend is now a chic cold-weather accessory.

We never thought we’d be so tempted to spend $300 on a hat.

Buy it ($310)

Topshop
