beanies

Snug winter hats

Beanies are close-fitting knitted caps, typically without a brim, worn snugly on the head for warmth or style.

The word is simply the plural of beanie.

In colder months, beanies are standard gear for outdoor activities; in fashion contexts, they serve as casual accessories year-round.

I grabbed my beanie before heading out into the snow.

The skaters all wore beanies despite the mild weather.
