Thanks to songstresses Rita Ora and Rihanna, the beanie hat has made a comeback for autumn winter 12.
Rita’s black beanie with triple “X” in gold emblems across the top was custom made for her by La RAP, a Los Angeles based artist and fashion designer Vally Rap. La RAP are offering a limited edition run and you can pre order your XXX Beanie from La RAP online store .
Not just limited to the music scene, the slouchy knit was also seen at Fashion Week everywhere from the Lacoste AW12 runway to on the heads of off-duty models such as Cara Delavigne.

Cara’s red beanie hat pictured above is from Supreme which she wears with a Trapstar London tee (she cut off the collar and sleeves) and a Burberry leather jacket.

Brooch beanie
Glaming up your beanie look has never been so easy with this brooch on beanie style from River island. Gearing up for a collab with Rihanna in 2013, this hat is just one example of what River island does best, accessories. €26 at River Island (pictured main image).
Slouchy Beanie
The slouchy boyfriend beanie look isn’t a new look by any means but year in year out it returns as a winter wardrobe favourite. €15 at River Island (pictured main image).
Animal beanie
Channel your animal instincts with a cute racoon, fox or owl beanie hat taking inspiration from the animals of farthing wood– they come complete with ears. €26.50 at Accessorize.
Striped Pompom Beanie
We love a good pom pom knit so this nautical striped beanie at Forever 21 (€5,90) is a perfect budget buy. We’ve also seen beanies in Penneys for as little as €2.
Will you be keeping your head and ears warm with a beanie hat this season?
