About Women's Beanies at The North Face
When it comes to women's headwear for cold weather, nothing combines style and function quite like a beanie. Beanies offer warmth and protection, versatility, affordability, and comfort (particularly under helmets when skiing and snowboarding).
While different types offer different benefits, a great all-around women's beanie should be lightweight, be easy to pack, keep your head and ears warm, and be effortless.
Classic cuffed beanies are flattering and often offer extra ear warmth.
Slouchy styles have extra fabric in the back that gives relaxed, laid-back vibes.
Pom-pom and cable knit beanies add texture and visual interest to your look.
Fisherman beanies sit above the ears for a trendy style.
Our top pick in women's beanies is the TNF™ Logo Box Cuffed Beanie because of its universal appeal and classic style. It has a larger circumference for a better fit and soft yarn for added comfort and warmth.
Beanies should fit so that they don't slide down over your eyes, but how you choose to wear it on your head is up to you. Some wear them so that they only cover the upper half of the ears. Larger beanies, especially styles with pom poms, can be worn higher on the head for a more casual look. For a truly snug fit, pull the beanie down in the back and tuck excess material into the cuff.
Acrylic may be the most common fabric used to make beanies. It is a synthetic fiber that is easier to clean than fabrics like wool and holds dyes well so that vibrant hues and patterns will last longer. Cotton is another common material that is actually machine-washable and durable. Fleece is soft and moisture-wicking which is a great quality to have if you are looking for a beanie for your morning jog or trail run. Finally, wool is sometimes used in beanies which has an unmatched ability to retain heat.
