Necessary Knits = CHAOS Knits

It’s true that nothing is better than being completely cozy on the most frigid winter days. Most seasons, it’s hard to achieve that state of warmth without a ridiculous amount of layering or constantly keeping on a jacket. Luckily for us, this season, we’re being directed towards a trend that, if introduced just a few years ago, could quite possibly be scoffed at. I am referring the oversized, heavenly soft, and impeccably chic “grandma” knits. Cozy knits look pretty much exactly how you’re imagining them, and therein lay their arm. The perfect knit looks as if it came directly from an elderly lady’s closet- and feels as though it has been worn for years. It can be made of wool, cashmere, or anything in between, depending on your preference of material. It can be personalized with a pattern, or kept neutral in a solid, wintery tone such as crimson or oatmeal. A chunky knit accessory this season is the most bold item you can buy. Though it is possible to head to the nearest H&M and purchase a mile long scarf that will ball up and look raggy in about a week, the ones that stand out among the rest are those that are truly special. On that same note, I also won’t recommend splurging on a high-end designer’s version, either. Lucky for you, CHAOS has its own knit line! I highly suggest that you check out CHAOS Knits : trust me, it’s worth it. Finding that perfect, completely unique scarf, hat, or headband is just a few clicks away. You’ll also get to skip sifting through chaotic racks or visiting several stores before striking gold. The great thing about CHAOS Knits is that they can be reused again in the spring. Many spring RTW collections paired pastel shorts or sheer skirts with chunky knit accessories; so you will definitely get what you pay for after just a few weeks of wear.

Hippie Tam Hat aka The Rasta Hat

You might have noticed people wearing these interesting over-sized looking beanies. Well, let me tell you, they are not called beanies. They are in fact called Tams, more widely known as the Rasta hat. Normally the best are handmade and can cost a pretty penny if you're lucky enough to find them. However, I've found a great place online that sells them and they're pretty cheap, Purple Sage Designz check them out. They have have them in several different styles as well as knit tams and crochet. Many of the hats on the site are made of 100% all natural hemp. You can also specifically request certain colors and yarn types to have your own one of a kind tam hat. Makes a pretty cool gift for any earthly hippie friend, or hey even a nice one for yourself.
