Beanie Babes

No matter where you decide to spend the holidays, warmth goes a long way toward making your season bright! Stylish holiday headwear allows you to beat the battles with piercing winter winds and also means more cherished, quality time with your loved ones, where you won't have to feat Frosty the Snowman!

Bring in the beanies!

“Don't just stay snug during this chilly season but add character along with a sassy, personal twist to any type of outdoor wear you choose to showcase.”

Even if your outwear is as bright and cheerful as this current season, combining the ideal beanie can make for that perfect, lovely final touch. However, finding the right beanie with a hint of holiday spirit and flare takes major finesse. It is important to keep in mind of the color balance and design of the hat, to bring just a bit of playful fun to your full ensemble. It's true! It takes versatility for a beanie to transform from simple street chic into a winter wonderland adventure, worthy to top-off your favorite Christmas outfit.

Check out some of my top favorite beanie styles, for a very merry ensemble:

(1) Fluff ball on fleek: Can't go wrong with classic black. Create some magic by adding a basic black beanie with a fluffy pom-pom to incorporate that the fun-loving twist to your winter wardrobe. What is brilliant about this simple and chic item is that it is seasonally-appropriate and you can rock it at an outdoor gathering or spice it up for a snowy soiree. (2) Edge it up: Just beauty it is the holidays, doesn't always mean we are all about sweet and no spice. Maybe we prefer a little naughty over nice. Go bold with a dark colored cap with skill designs or decor to keep things a bit edgy. It is a fantastic contrast to the typical chic or formal holiday wear. You can include your avant-guard piece to a simple ensemble or for a casual/ grunge look. Make your Christmas a little more 'rock and roll' and heat it up for the New Year!

(3) Beanie with a bow: A crowd pleaser for most gals worldwide, a soft light colored or pastel colored beanie with a bow-like knot as a step up from the traditional knotted headband. Providing extreme warmth, this elegant headpiece manages to give off a very gentle and delicate look. This hat is great to model with loved ones when curled up on the couch with coco or while out and about on a riveting sleigh ride in the fluffy, white snow.

(4) Simple, soft and sweet: Put on your ice skates and hit the closest outdoor rink with a cotton knit, light beanie. Just think of the neon lights and snowflakes. Imagine the hot chocolate after your skating adventure, as you soak in the sights of the season. Simple and light beanies are genuinely perfect for any occasion and season for that matter.

(5) Prints and pow: If you are looking for women's winter beanies, you should check out a thicker and heavier beanie hat. This Lexi Leopard Zahara beanie shown in my featured photo is hands down, one of my absolute favorites during this time of year. This headpiece is made of 100% acrylic. There are several options of colors for you to choose, mine is the classic white and black, but check out Zaharaswim.com to discover the many unique and beautiful selections to choose from.

A beanie is a not only a fashion statement but a necessity during the colder seasons

“Sport the stylish beanie all year long, have some fun with an accessory that's going to be the center of attention”

When it comes to the winter headwear, the most popular type is undoubtedly the beanie hat. It is a necessity during this time of year, not only for aesthetic purposes but for ultimate warmth and comfort. What is so fantastic about this piece, is that pairing it with other options from your closet is effortless. You can flaunt it during the colder months, especially when you're spending most of your time outside with your favorite people. You can also sport it when you take part in winter activities such as ice skating and skiing. Beanies can be difficult to wear for a number of reasons, for example, the sizing may be wrong, or perhaps you can't decide how to position it on your head. In any case, make sure you pick the size and style that is most suitable and comfortable for you. A good beanie elevates even the simplest of outfits. Have some fun with an accessory that's going to be the center of attention. This season, add some color, go for faux-fur pom-pom, or treat your head to some luxe cashmere, anything you want ... the sky's the limit.
