Try This Trend Thursday: Put a Beanie on It

Posted by Alexandra C. | Thursday October 31, 2013

I've never been a hat person. I think they make my face look wide and potato-like. But the other day, I saw a chick on the subway with the most adorable beanie and I was like, 'CAN I HAVE THAT?'. She looked super chic and fashion forward but with the beanie on she kept it casual too. They're the final, edgy touch to an outfit that marries formal attire to street style. Even fellow Chick Staffer Miranda looks super adorable in a beanie! Well, guess what? This fall and winter, I am saying 'YES' to beanies and toques.

Here are a few snaps of ladies totally pulling off the beanie. They are my fashion hatspiration:
