As we settle into a few more months of gray, coldish weather, might I suggest brightening things up with a warm and slightly silly hat? This one from Strategist-favorite outdoors brand Patagonia is on sale at REI right now for just $38, down from $55, a 31 percent discount. Both colorways (a dark turmeric and deep forest green) are marked down.
Aside from looking pleasingly Nordic and retro, this beanie is highly functional, being knit from recycled wool and nylon and lined with soft fleece to reduce itching. The slightly oversize fit creates a nice slouchy look and means it’ll actually keep your head warm. Summer is sadly still a while away, and life is short, friends. Just say no to the minimalist, not-even-ear-covering bro beanie.
