They say there’s no such thing as a free lunch, which is a lesson a lot of the country is currently learning the hard way: An *extremely* cold winter has taken landfall, and it quickly followed up an unseasonably warm fall. Though the chilly air is more peaceful psychologically than “hotaumns'”—which force you to acknowledge the shocking reminder of the planet’s demise—staving off frost bite and the sniffles requires extra outfit planning (and, like, just extra stuff included in said getups for padding).

The notion of losing the most body heat from your head may just be an old wives’ tale, but that doesn’t mean some heat doesn’t escape that way. Your head should totally be as protected as your neck, feet, and faux-fur-ensconced body. So, in the interest of staying healthy and true to the hygge game plan, slip on one of these beanies—maybe even two, TBH—because there’s no such thing as too much when it comes to beating the frigid cold.
