A price and style comparison
Hats can be notoriously tricky to pull off. But not a beanie. The humble stocking cap (or watch cap—call it what you will) is a stylish and supremely comfortable accessory that hasn't ever let anyone down. Cozy and stretchy, it never looks out of place, adapting perfectly to suit various personal styles and types of hair.
And if you're going to wear a beanie, you might as well wear a really good one. And that means pulling on a cashmere beanie. These caps are all about luxury. Soft, lightweight and incredibly warm, it's a winter essential that's worth the investment. As for who makes the best ones, we tried on a bunch in a range of climates and washed them to make sure we bring you only the best ones for your money.
