We try to steer clear of anything that can ruin a good hair day, but when temperatures drops to single digits with winds that stop you in your tracks, a little hat hair is a small price to pay in exchange for keeping your ears from falling off. (Plus, you can read these stories and learn some preventative steps to ward off creases and static.)

Beanies are our first choice when it comes to winter hats. They look good on everyone (even if you're not a hat person), and they come in every material, color and print you could want. Whether you prefer a classic knit or something a bit more bold, these runway and street style looks prove that the beanie is the perfect finishing touch for every wintertime outfit.

Model-to-watch Hailey Baldwin wore this knitted "love" beanie with leather leggings and a black sweater, chambray button down combo earlier this year. The look was casual yet right on trend.

At Ralph Lauren, a simple black beanie got dressed up with a black leather skirt, turtleneck and bright yellow coat.

Before the model designed her own beanie in collaboration with DKNY (which sold out in about 2.5 seconds), she took to the runway in this Giles grey knit beanie with eye detailing, $138.

Copy Viva Luxury's Annabelle Fleur by adding a bright neon beanie (like this one) to an all-black outfit for a punch of color.
