It's Not a Bad Idea to Dress for Autumn.

I'm guessing you have already felt it...your toes are a little colder than usual as you skitter across the floor bathed in morning light, you've seen the sparkle of fading frost on the leaves out front, the geese are flying above in mindless succession. Yes, it is growing colder friends...it is autumn.

As the morning air gets chillier and chillier, you might be rummaging through your shelved sweaters, flannels, and autumn scarves for a little extra warmth this season. If you are in need of a bit of help, look no further than the No Bad Ideas knit collection, newly in stock at the HQ!

The classic and highly versatile look of the beanie is designed to keep your melon toasty and, thanks to NBI, keep you looking fashionable in the blistering chill.

So you bought a new snuggly hat...what now? Do you just toss it on and go? Ok, sure you can...but with NBI you have the opportunity to not only stay warm in the coming months, but to look great while doing so!

I'm here to help you choose which beanie to wear and how to wear it.

Tip one

Try pairing a crazy-patterned (or just brightly coloured) statement beanie with a subdued outfit. If you're anything like me, I love an all-black ensemble all the time – top it off by plopping one of NBI's patterned and pompom-ed hats!

Tip two

Matching your outfit to your beanie can be just as nice as making it your statement piece. Try creating a grey pallet like the image below, or snazzy it up by picking a monochrome theme in a brighter colour – forest green is always nice this time of year.

Tip three

Do you have a suit? Yes? Good. Put it on, throw on a scarf, grab your coffee, and throw on a snug-fitting beanie! Yup, it's a-okay to wear a beanie with a suit! In fact, this writer thinks it looks mighty fine! Throwing on an autumn melon-topper gives your suits a comfy vibe and shows your quirky sense of humour/style. Pair your fine-self with nice brown leather shoes and we've got ourselves a winner.

Last (But Not Least) Tip

No matter what you wear, beanie or anything else, whether it is muted beiges or vibrant mix-matched patterns...wear it proudly. Your style is an outward reflection of what makes you you. Someone is always going to dislike it, and someone is always going to love it. It's unavoidable, so why not have fun and be you!
